Recent Activity on the Set of ‘And Just Like That…’ Season 3 Suggests Carrie and Aidan’s Relationship Will Remain Complicated

The cast of And Just Like That… has spent the last several months filming on the streets of New York City. While much of the storyline for season 3 remains under wraps, we know that John Corbett will return as Carrie Bradshaw’s on-again-off-again love, Aidan Shaw. Corbett has appeared on set multiple times since filming for the season began. Not every scene appears to be happy, though. A recent scene suggests that Carrie and Aidan will experience significant relationship troubles in season 3 of the Sex and the City reboot.

Aidan Shaw will be back for season 3 of ‘And Just Like That…’

When fans last left Aidan, he told Carrie he couldn’t date her for the next five years because of his troubled youngest son. While Aidan focused on his teenage son, Carrie vacationed with her realtor-turned-pal, Seema Patel. Aidan’s insistence that he has no contact with Carrie for half a decade sealed his fate, or so fans thought.

Sarah Jessica Parker appeared at the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfronts presentation ahead of filming to throw a curveball at fans. She told the crowd that Aidan Shaw would “factor” into the third season of And Just Like That… Parker stopped short of revealing how he would factor into the season, but based on photos from the set, it looks like Aidan is back, sooner than expected, to woo Carrie. Pictures of the fictional couple together suggest Aidan ultimately does win back his love, but it doesn’t look like it was a smooth ride, and it’s unclear if the couple’s romance has a happy ending.

The relationship appears to be complicated

While Aidan Shaw will, once again, factor heavily into season 3 of And Just Like That…, it doesn’t sound like their reunion will run smoothly. There appears to be more strife in the relationship than ever before. At least scenes filmed on the streets of New York City suggest there will be trouble.

This week, Sarah Jessica Parker and John Corbett were spotted filming a scene for the much-anticipated third season at Tartine. A Reddit user shared a TikTok video that shows the on-screen couple having an extremely tense conversation while seated outside the famed cafe. During the scene, Parker, as Carrie, is seen yelling at Corbett, as Aidan, before she runs off with Aidan hot on her heels.

The video didn’t capture what the duo said during the conversation. We can make a guess based on their body language, though. We can assume it wasn’t a happy one. What that means for their long-term odds of finally making their relationship work is anyone’s guess. Plenty of viewers hope they don’t end up together, though.

When does season 3 premiere?

Fans are busy watching spy videos of the cast filming on the streets of New York. That will have to do for now. Viewers still have a long wait for the show’s third season to air. Max has not even offered up a premiere date at this point.

We know that the series is set to air on the streaming service provider sometime in 2025. Still, an official release date has yet to be announced. We hope to see the series early in 2025, but considering the filming schedule, the release date remains to be determined.

Aside from Carrie and Aidan’s drama, fans can expect to see more of Miranda Hobbes’ dating exploits. Charlotte York and her family will also return to the series. The characters of Seema Patel, Anthony Marantino, and Lisa Todd Wexley are all set to return, as well.
