“And Just Like That…” Season 3 Preview: Carrie and Aidan Navigate a Complicated Romance Under Summer Skies
Another season of *And Just Like That…* is upon us, and guess what? It’s shaping up to be another tangled mess of romance, drama, and the kind of existential crises that only New York City can conjure. The third season, set to premiere on May 29 on Max, promises to dive deeper into the chaotic lives of our favorite characters, especially the ever-puzzling relationship between Carrie Bradshaw and Aidan Shaw. Oh, the nostalgia is thick enough to cut with a knife, but let’s not kid ourselves—this isn’t just a stroll down memory lane; it’s a convoluted trek through relationship hell.
In the teaser that dropped like a hot potato, viewers are treated to a glimpse of Carrie grappling with her feelings for Aidan, who, if you recall, left her hanging at the end of season 2. He decided that juggling life between Virginia and New York was too much, leaving our beloved Carrie to sift through the emotional wreckage. Now, she’s left with a postcard from Aidan that’s as empty as my patience for this back-and-forth. Miranda Hobbes, ever the insightful friend, even senses a “vibe” between Carrie and her neighbor, prompting Carrie to admit, “It’s complicated with Aidan, but I’m trying to figure it out.” Complicated? You think?
Meanwhile, the other ladies are knee-deep in their own dramas, just in case you thought this series was going to focus solely on Carrie’s love life. Miranda is caught up in her own romantic whirlwind, eyeing a new woman who, shocker, is a work contact—just what we need, more office romances. Charlotte York is preoccupied with her daughter’s teenage exploits, which include catching her daughter making out with a male dancer. Because, of course, why not throw in some teen angst while we’re at it?
And let’s not forget about the new cast members making their grand entrance. Rosie O’Donnell and Patti LuPone are joining the fray, adding a sprinkle of star power that we didn’t know we needed. Yet, I can’t help but roll my eyes at the continuing saga of Kim Cattrall’s Samantha. Her cameo in season 2 was meant to be the cherry on top of this already overindulgent sundae, but it feels more like a last-minute addition that was forced into a plot already bursting at the seams.
With the season kicking off a year after the table read and all the hype, you can bet that the drama will be thicker than ever. But let’s be real—did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. Buckle up, because if you thought the first two seasons were a rollercoaster, you haven’t seen anything yet.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
