And Just Like That Season 3 Episode 1 cast and character guide

Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw

Carrie Bradshaw, the quick-witted writer and one of the main leads of the show, is again caught in the never-ending cycle between independence and intimacy. In the episode, she's seen trying to convince herself that she's fine waiting five years for Aidan, but in reality, she's not. In the premiere episode, it feels like Carrie is in her self-reinvention phase—armed with typewriters, sarcasm, and too much emotional distance.

Parker, the six-time Golden Globe and two-time Emmy-winning actress, is well known for her roles in HBO's Sex and the City franchise, Hocus Pocus, and Divorce, to name a few.

Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes

In And Just Like That Season 3 Episode 1, Miranda is seen diving into a messy and unfiltered singlehood. After a heartbreak with Che and an introspective, sober journey, she's navigating the dating world again. In the premiere episode, Miranda hooks up with a tourist and later tries to ghost her after she finds out that she's a nun. The nun, on the other hand, seems smitten by Miranda and sends her texts throughout her trip, and in the end, out of guilt, Miranda finally meets her in Times Square and explains her side of the story.

Also a Primetime Emmy winner, Nixon is well known for playing Miranda in the Sex and the City franchise. Some of her notable projects include Law & Order: SVU, The Gilded Age, and Too Big To Fail.

Sarita Chowdhury as Seema

Seema is fierce, wealthy, independent, and unapologetically self-aware. Played by Sarita Chowdhury, in Episode 1, we see her waiting for her on-again, off-again lover Ravi to call—only to burn her hair while waiting. Her reaction? Blunt, honest, and walking out mid-apology and a low-effort lunch date.

Sarita Chowdhury is well known for her roles in Mississippi Masala, Homeland, For Real, and Evil Eye, to name a few.

Nicole Ari Parker as Lisa Todd Wexley

In Episode 1 of And Just Like That Season 3, Lisa is busy editing her documentary and balancing her husband Herbert's political campaign. When the executives pitch her an angle that includes Michelle Obama, she is tempted but still not convinced.

Some of Nicole Ari Parker's projects include Empire, Time After Time, Boogie Nights, Remember the Titans, and Blue Streak, to name a few.

Kristin Davis as Charlotte York Goldenblatt

In this episode, Charlotte is juggling between Lily's ballet crush and an accusation that her dog allegedly attacked a woman. In true Charlotte form, she spirals fast—emotionally and logically—but still shows up with poise in heels.

Kristin Davis is well known for her role as Charlotte in the Sex and the City franchise. Apart from that, some of her notable work includes Deck the Halls, Cash Out, Bad Teacher, and Couple Retreat.
