The cast of And Just Like That has been spotted more than once dressed in all black. A casting call for funeral extras and the somber attire seen on set make it clear that a death will occur in And Just Like That… season 3. This won’t be the first time in the show’s history that fans have a funeral mystery to solve before the season premiere. So, who dies in the iconic reboot this time?

‘And Just Like That…’ viewers have theories about the season 3 funeral

While the mystery surrounding which character will die seems to deepen, fans are taking their theories online. Fans appear to be split into two camps. Some viewers believe that the death will be significant, while others think that the funeral scene will be largely inconsequential in the grand scheme of the storyline.

Several Reddit users have theorized that the show might do away with Che Diaz by killing off the character. Sara Ramirez will not be returning to portray Miranda Hobbes’ ex. It would be a tidy way to draw a close to the character. Some believe Steve Brady may have died, while others argue that the funeral will be for an extended family member of Lisa Todd Wexley. Some viewers wonder if the funeral will be for a never-before-seen character.

While anything could happen, it seems unlikely that the writers will kill off a beloved or hated main character. After all, season 1 dealt with a pretty emotional death. Mr. Big’s death made the entire first season feel incredibly heavy, and fans criticized how different the reboot was from the original series. Season 2 had a much lighter feel and was more closely aligned with the original series. It was better received by fans. If the production team is paying attention to fan sentiment, the death will serve as a throwaway scene and not a major plotline.

Could Samantha Jones be the dearly departed?

As ardent fans will remember, the And Just Like That.. cast was spotted filming a funeral before the series premiered. The scene led to speculation about which character’s demise would play out on screen. While several names were tossed around, fans eventually learned that Mr. Big had died in the show’s premiere episode. His funeral was featured in episode two.

Many fans accurately predicted the death, but could some of those death guesses from season 1 still apply? When season 1 was being filmed, many Sex and the City fans worried that Samantha Jones would be killed off because actor Kim Cattrall was not asked to reprise her role. While it didn’t happen in season 1, Samantha may die in season 3. Cattrall insists she’s not returning to the series despite rumors to the contrary. Still, such a move would surely anger the show’s harshest critics.

For now, fans will just need to wait and see. Filming for season 3 of And Just Like That… began in May. Max has yet to announce an official release date, but the season is expected to premiere early in 2025.
