Shaking Up 'And Just Like That': Rosie O'Donnell In, Sara Ramirez Out for Season 3

Written by Published

Guess what's cooking in the world of "And Just Like That"? Season 3 is in the works, and there's some juicy gossip floating around. Sara Ramirez, who had folks talking with their portrayal of the nonbinary comedian Che Diaz in the first two seasons, won't be making a return.

But hold onto your hats, because here's the twist: Rosie O'Donnell is stepping into the mix for Season 3! Yup, you read that right. The tables are turning, and fans are buzzing with excitement.

Sarah Jessica Parker, the star and executive producer, took to Instagram to tease the start of Season 3 with a snapshot from the table read. She tagged some familiar faces like Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis but conspicuously left out Ramirez. Looks like things are shaking up in the cast lineup.

O'Donnell herself shared a sneak peek from the table read, revealing her character's name as "Mary." Max confirmed her role but kept the details under wraps for now.

Now, about Ramirez's absence... Rumors had been swirling for months, but it seems like the cat's out of the bag. Ramirez hinted at their departure on Instagram, suggesting their support for Palestine might've played a part. It's been quite the saga, with Ramirez advocating for a cease-fire and facing potential consequences in Hollywood.

Remember Cynthia Nixon's hunger strike? She's been vocal about the cause too. Ramirez's departure seems to be the end of an era, with their character Che sparking plenty of debate and memes along the way.

Despite the mixed reviews, Che was a central figure in Season 2, bringing fresh perspectives to the screen. Showrunner Michael Patrick King wanted to peel back the layers and show different sides to Che, even after their split with Miranda and professional fallout with Carrie.

But hey, change is the name of the game in showbiz. With Season 3 on the horizon, who knows what surprises await us? Looks like we'll have to stay tuned for the next chapter of "And Just Like That."
