Two of Parker’s former co-stars will be missing from Season 3: Sara Ramirez and Karen Pittman.
Ramirez’s exit from the series was revealed in February after playing the controversial character Che Diaz for the first two seasons.
On Feb. 27, an insider told the Daily Mail, “Sara was fired because Che brought nothing to the show anymore. After Che split with Miranda, the character really held no value anymore and fans found them annoying.”
Pittman’s departure from the show was announced in March. After playing professor Nya Wallace for two seasons she had to exit “AJLT” due to scheduling conflicts.

“It has been a joy to have Karen Pittman play the smart and stunning Professor Nya Wallace on the first two seasons of ‘And Just Like That,’ ” a spokesperson for Max told Deadline at the time.
“AJLT” premiered in December 2021 and has gotten a mixed response from fans.
Parker, Davis and Nixon all returned to reprise their roles. Kim Cattrall, however, turned down the offer, although she did make a brief cameo as Samantha Jones in the Season 2 finale.
Season 3 of “AJLT” is expected to premiere in 2025.
