Is Che in ‘And Just Like That' Season 3? Sara Ramirez's Character's Fate After Dramatic Season 2
Miranda Hobbes experienced both love and heartbreak in the Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That…, and her relationship with Che Diaz certainly had its highs and lows. Is Sara Ramirez's character in season 3 of the show?
It was reported by multiple outlets in February 2024 that Sara's character was not returning for season 3 of And Just Like That… after two seasons on the show.
Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda, spoke out on Che's exit from the show one year ahead of the season 3 premiere in May 2025.
"I think for Miranda, Miranda and Che were really pretty done," Cynthia told Entertainment Weekly in May 2024. "I think that Miranda and Che had kind of run the gamut of what they were going to be to each other."
Cynthia echoed a similar stance while speaking with Variety that same month.
'I do feel like our show always works best when people are dating,' she said.
'They created such an amazing character — such a controversial character, but such an amazing character,' she said, referring to the character of Che. 'I think they felt, and Michael Patrick [King] felt, that that character had run its course. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.'
The Emmy winner said that she understood that a lot of people were upset with the arc of Steve's character, Miranda's husband, whom she left and got back together with in the first Sex and the City film. In And Just Like That… their relationship came crumbling apart when Miranda met Che and began an affair.
While speaking with Grazia in May 2025, Cynthia said that the ''poor Steve' narrative doesn't really bother me. Our show always killed its darlings. If we're just gonna play it safe and nice, why are you watching?'
Cynthia revealed that she suggested Sara, who uses they/them pronouns, for the role of Che.
'I love Che, I love Sara. It's hard to know what people would have made of Che if Che hadn't ostensibly broken up Steve and Miranda,' she noted. 'But I don't want a show in which everybody is behaving well all the time. A feminist show doesn't show women being perfect.'
Miranda and Che ended up breaking up after their toxic romance hit its breaking point in season 2 of And Just Like That… Their romance was plagued by bickering and tension as Che's TV pilot ended up failing.
'I think for Che, there's an incremental ego death process that is occurring over time, with the failure of the pilot, with all of the projections that they internalized during that process, with all the questioning they've been doing,' Sara told TVLine in July 2023. 'I don't think they have the capacity to keep the wheels on the car any longer. They don't have the capacity to continue this fantasy of a bubble of love and friendship and affirmation.'
Cynthia revealed that in season 3, Miranda would be embracing her single era.
'Both the old show and the new show are more fun when people are dating, so Miranda will be dating,' she said.

Our awards columnist's Emmy ballot: Read his list of dream nominees
Emmy nominations voting ends tonight at 10 p.m. PT. Still need help with your ballot? I'm Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times and host of The Envelope newsletter. Still time to bite into a 'Jaws' doughnut and peruse my picks for this year's Emmy races. (An ordinary bagel will do.) There are more than 100 Emmy categories, and if you scrolled through each and every one of them on the Television Academy's website, you are probably one of those people who read the terms and conditions on a document before signing your name. For me, simply filling out the following 15 categories — five each for comedy, drama and limited series — left me exhausted and in need of a sweet treat. And I already finished my 'Jaws' doughnut. Maybe this cherries jubilee? Paul Giamatti would approve. Without further ado, here are my picks and a brief line of reasoning for each. And if it's predictions you're after, you can find our full BuzzMeter panel's choices here. COMEDY SERIES'Abbott Elementary''The Bear''Hacks''A Man on the Inside''Only Murders in the Building''The Rehearsal''Somebody Somewhere''The Studio' Yes, 'The Rehearsal' is a comedy. COMEDY ACTRESSQuinta Brunson, 'Abbott Elementary'Ayo Edebiri, 'The Bear'Bridget Everett, 'Somebody Somewhere'Natasha Lyonne, 'Poker Face'Jean Smart, 'Hacks' Last call on nominating Everett (and her magical series), which has won a Peabody. COMEDY ACTORTed Danson, 'A Man on the Inside'Steve Martin, 'Only Murders in the Building'Seth Rogen, 'The Studio'Martin Short, 'Only Murders in the Building'Jeremy Allen White, 'The Bear' Best Netflix comedy: 'A Man on the Inside,' anchored by Danson, still a master of light laughs. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTRESSLiza Colón-Zayas, 'The Bear'Hannah Einbinder, 'Hacks'Kathryn Hahn, 'The Studio'Linda Lavin, 'Mid-Century Modern'Jane Lynch, 'Only Murders in the Building'Catherine O'Hara, 'The Studio'Sheryl Lee Ralph, 'Abbott Elementary' Colón-Zayas won last year, probably for the episode that she submitted this year. It's weird when shows drop their new seasons in June. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTORIke Barinholtz, 'The Studio'Colman Domingo, 'The Four Seasons'Paul Downs, 'Hacks'Harrison Ford, 'Shrinking'Ebon Moss-Bachrach, 'The Bear'Tyler James Williams, 'Abbott Elementary'Bowen Yang, 'Saturday Night Live' Thank you, Sal Saperstein! DRAMA SERIES'Andor''The Last of Us''Paradise''The Pitt''Severance''Slow Horses''The White Lotus''Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' Voting for 'Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' checks a couple of boxes. DRAMA ACTRESSKathy Bates, 'Matlock'Britt Lower, 'Severance'Elisabeth Moss, 'The Handmaid's Tale'Kaitlin Olson, 'High Potential'Bella Ramsey, 'The Last of Us' Moss won this Emmy eight years ago. With the show ending, she has earned a parting gift. DRAMA ACTORSterling K. Brown, 'Paradise'Gary Oldman, 'Slow Horses'Pedro Pascal, 'The Last of Us'Adam Scott, 'Severance'Noah Wyle, 'The Pitt' 'Why don't you say whatever speech you've got rehearsed and get this over with.' Godspeed, old friend. Also: Joel's parting words should flash onscreen any time an Emmy winner goes long at the podium. DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTRESSCarrie Coon, 'The White Lotus'Taylor Dearden, 'The Pitt'Fiona Dourif, 'The Pitt'Tracy Ifeachor, 'The Pitt'Katherine LaNasa, 'The Pitt'Julianne Nicholson, 'Paradise'Parker Posey, 'The White Lotus' Women of 'The Pitt' > Women of 'The White Lotus' DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTORPatrick Ball, 'The Pitt'Gerran Howell, 'The Pitt'Jason Isaacs, 'The White Lotus'Damian Lewis, 'Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light'Jack Lowden, 'Slow Horses'Tramell Tillman, 'Severance'John Turturro, 'Severance' I don't know. Tillman might deserve the Emmy for this alone. LIMITED SERIES'Adolescence''Dope Thief''Dying for Sex''The Penguin''Say Nothing' 'Adolescence' should win everything. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTRESSKaitlyn Dever, 'Apple Cider Vinegar'Cristin Milioti, 'The Penguin'Lola Petticrew, 'Say Nothing'Michelle Williams, 'Dying for Sex'Renée Zellweger, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' OK, maybe not everything, as 'Adolescence' doesn't have a submission here. Zellweger probably won't win because comic acting rarely does, even though it most definitely should. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTORColin Farrell, 'The Penguin'Stephen Graham, 'Adolescence'Brian Tyree Henry, 'Dope Thief'Kevin Kline, 'Disclaimer'Cooper Koch, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' Farrell has already won so many awards for 'The Penguin,' it feels like either A) he must have won the Emmy too or B) he hasn't, and good God, let somebody else have a prize. (Like Graham.) LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTRESSErin Doherty, 'Adolescence'Ruth Negga, 'Presumed Innocent'Deirde O'Connell, 'The Penguin'Imogen Faith Reid, 'Good American Family'Jenny Slate, 'Dying for Sex'Christine Tremarco, 'Adolescence' Doherty will likely win for the series' third episode, the taut two-hander with Owen Cooper. But the fourth episode is just as good — maybe even better — featuring a heart-rending turn from Tremarco as the mom trying to hold it together. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTORJavier Bardem, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'Owen Cooper, 'Adolescence'Rob Delaney, 'Dying for Sex'Rhenzy Feliz, 'The Penguin'Hugh Grant, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy'Ashley Walters, 'Adolescence' Cooper will soon become the fifth teen actor to win a Primetime Emmy.

Peyton and Cane Spoilers The Waterfront Season 2
A new addictive Netflix show just landed in our laps for summer. And by "summer" I mean literally one day because that's all it takes to binge the entire thing. Welcome to The Waterfront, which is basically Yellowstone meets Outer Banks. The show follows a wealthy family trying to manage their floundering (heh) fishing business and casual drug ring, and every episode is packed with action and drama. But we're specifically here to discuss Cane and Peyton, because their vibe in the season finale was weird to say the least. Quick recap: Cane cheats on Peyton with his high school sweetheart Jenna, she finds out, and—after confronting and immediately forgiving Jenna—tells Cane in the most ominous way possible, "Everything's fine. You and me. We're fine. I'm gonna see to it." Like, not exactly a normal way to react to your husband's announcement that he's cheated on you and is dealing heroin. So, what comes next? Series creator Kevin Williamson tells Variety that Peyton could become one to watch next season: "I think Peyton is a power player," he said. "She knows what she wants, and she's going to get it. She had that moment where she could run, she could leave, and she almost does. But I think she has a better plan. She loves this man, and they say you can't change someone. Well, we're gonna watch her do it." Cannot! Wait!
