season 3 is shaping up to be even more star-studded! Executive producer Michael Patrick King confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Broadway legend Patti LuPone will have "an arc on our show this season" but details of her role remain under wraps. What We Do in the Shadows star Kristen Schaal will also join the hit Max series for season 3, while Rosemarie DeWitt is set to reprise her role as Aidan’s ( John Corbett ) ex-wife Kathy. King teased that the upcoming season includes “a lot of ‘new’ within the familiar, but even the familiar characters are going through new things.

Miranda has a new apartment,” he explained.
“We feel that there's a lot of newness in the world right now, especially for these characters. We wanted to tell new stories and put them through new obstacles.” While welcoming new characters, the show will be without Sara Ramírez , who played Che Diaz, and Karen Pittman , who portrayed Columbia professor Nya Wallis.
Max confirmed Pittman’s departure due to production and scheduling conflicts with her work on The Morning Show and the upcoming Netflix series, Forever in March, while Nixon, 58, seemingly confirmed Ramírez’s exit in an interview with Variety in May, explaining both her costar and King "felt that that character had run its course."

” “Carrie's had a Berger, she's had a Petrovsky. Miranda's had a Skipper, and now she's had a Che,” he continued. “And it was time for that character to move on.
Karen was, of course, somebody who got many, many, many opportunities to continue to work. Our show has already so many characters. There are five women right now on the show, and each of them has a world.
Some of them have husbands, some of them have children, some of those children even have relationships. So it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger.” King noted that the show — which also stars Kristin Davis , Sarita Choudhury and Nicole Ari Parker — is reflecting the realities of real life, explaining, “We just moved forward because that's what happens in New York City or in life.
Sometimes you see someone who is so important to you and then you don't see them again for 10 years.” “They're still on the same island, but you don't see them,” he added. “So we put Che and Nya on a very luxurious boat and waved goodbye, throwing confetti as they departed from the shores of And Just Like That .
And we moved forward with bringing in new boats, new characters, new ideas.” Related: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon Have Chic Night in Outfits Their SATC Characters Would Approve Of Those new stories will include Rosie O'Donnell , who revealed that she would be joining the new season in May.

Some of the male characters are back, and there are some new men," explained Parker, per Variety .
