And Just Like That season 3 release schedule: When will episode 3 air?

This comes as she continues to try and make her long-distance relationship with Aiden work, but will sparks now fly with Adam and put a potential spanner in the works?

Writer Michael Patrick King recently told Harper's Bazaar that, heading into season 3, he and the team "wanted to talk about relationships - how there are new ones that come into your life, how you have familiar ones, how there are possible ones".

He continued: "No matter what age you are, no matter where you are in your life, you have a possibility to evolve a little bit more based on who comes into your life. We knew that we wanted it to be about relationships, specifically Carrie and Aidan, because that’s the thing we left you with.

"We also knew we wanted it to be summer – summer in the city – and we wanted that to have that vibration, which is about excitement, fertility, fun, and dating, because we had a couple of single people in the show now. That was exciting for us. So, we were going to bring in a little sex to our city and reference Sex and the City."

With two episodes currently available to watch, when will the third instalment arrive?

What will happen in And Just Like That season 3?

In season 3 of the Sex and the City prequel, Carrie is writing a book, which should provide a healthy distraction while Aidan is tending to his son Wyatt back in Virginia.

After his meltdown last season while his dad was visiting Carrie in New York, Aidan has put his relationship on hold to prioritise his son's happiness.

"The Carrie-Aidan relationship is dramatic and exciting because it contains two points of view," writer Michael Patrick King told Entertainment Weekly.

"I think half the fans who do not want Carrie to be in a relationship will be like, ‘Enough!’ The other half will understand that when you love somebody, what comes with them is their family."

But he did say that he has "no interest in torturing an audience too much", so hopefully there will be a swift resolution either way. In the season 3 trailer, one of Carrie's new neighbours takes a shine to her. Will that develop into something more?

Elsewhere, Miranda is a lawyer at Human Rights Watch and navigating the queer dating scene following her breakup with Che, Charlotte is very much still a working woman after she decided to re-enter the art world last season, Lisa remains wholly focused on her documentary work, and Seema dumps Ravi after his career continues to encroach on their relationship, leaving her free to start dating again, but she's not exactly thrilled about it.
