With production on the third season of And Just Like That underway, actor Cynthia Nixon is opening up about co-star Sara Ramrezs abrupt, if unsurprising, departure from the Max series.

In an interview with Variety published Thursday, Nixon seemingly shrugged off the implication that Ramrezs exit from the Sex and the City revival was the result of any behind-the-scenes drama.

I think they felt, and [series creator Michael Patrick King] felt, that that character had run its course, she said of Ramrez, who uses they/them pronouns. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.

She also had ample praise for Ramrezs performance, telling Variety : They created such an amazing character such a controversial character, but such an amazing character.

In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly published Thursday, Nixon said she and Ramrez remained on good terms, noting that the two talk quite a bit.

She also didnt rule out the possibility of Ramrez returning to And Just Like That in the future. If Sara was on the show, I think it would be more Carrie and Che, she said, referring to Sarah Jessica Parkers character, Carrie Bradshaw.

Though it had already been widely reported that Ramrez would not be returning for Season 3 of And Just Like That, Nixon appears to be the shows first cast member to comment publicly on the news.

Ramrez was among the high-profile additions to the Sex and the City universe when And Just Like That debuted in 2021. The actor, whose credits include Madam Secretary and Greys Anatomy , portrayed nonbinary comedian Che Diaz, who became the love interest of Miranda Hobbes (Nixon).
