And just like that … viewers will have to wait a while for new episodes.
Max (formerly HBO Max) revealed that the “Sex and the City” spinoff, “And Just Like That,” won’t return to the streaming service until 2025.
The news about Season 3 was quietly announced during a “One To Watch” promo that dropped on Max’s YouTube page Wednesday.
Due to the Writers Guild of America and then the subsequent SAG-AFTRA strike, filming hasn’t even started yet.
There are currently no details available about what awaits Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends in the upcoming season, though the show is likely to pick up after she and her longtime love Aidan (John Corbett) split.
In the show’s Season 2 finale, the pair are forced to pause their relationship after it’s revealed that Aiden’s son Wyatt has been in a car crash while driving without a license in Virginia.
Due to the accident, Aiden says he most likely won’t be able to return to New York City for five years.
“Aidan believes now that bad things happen when he’s not there,” Michael Patrick King, who serves as showrunner, said on the “AJLT” companion podcast in August.
“He admits to [Carrie] that he’s really the home for these three boys — and that’s who he’s always been.”
The season also saw the return — albeit very briefly — of Kim Cattrall’s Samantha.
In the long-awaited cameo, Samantha calls Carrie to inform her that she has been delayed at London’s Heathrow airport, much to her friend’s surprise.
“My flight’s three hours delayed, Carrie,” she says in an exasperated tone. “I won’t be able to make it there in time.”
Sitting in the back of a black town car and wearing a red outfit complemented by a silver trench coat and a lime green purse, Samantha reveals that she was on her way to the Big Apple after Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) told her about Carrie’s “last supper” in her old apartment.
Confused, Carrie asks her friend why she was spending the money to come to a dinner party.
“Well, it is your apartment and I have to pay my respects,” Samantha tells her bewildered friend.
Asking to be put on speakerphone, Samantha says, “Thank you for everything, you f – – king fabulous, fabulous flat.”
Carrie then teases Samantha by asking if she is picking up an accent.
Samantha notes she was actually Annabelle Bronstein, a guise used by Samantha in the OG “Sex and the City” in an attempt to sneak into London’s exclusive Soho House and use the pool before being busted by the staff.
“Who’s Samantha?” she says in that episode. “This is Annabelle Bronstein! Ta and Cheerio!”
Cattrall, 67, initially refused to be a part of the reboot, saying that she was displeased with her character’s story arc and calling the spinoff “basically the third movie.”
“I was never asked to be part of the reboot,” Cattrall claimed to Variety. “I made my feelings clear after the possible third movie, so I found out about it like everyone else did — on social media.” (She also didn’t mince words about her not-so-friendly past with Parker in interviews.)
In May, The Post exclusively broke the news that Cattrall would be returning to her old stomping grounds.
An insider told The Post that show staffers were “definitely shocked, very intrigued on how they’re gonna write this in — and very excited.
“The fact that they’re keeping it very hush-hush says that there’s some implication that she might be coming back — not this season, but it’s definitely a cliffhanger that’s gonna get people to come back for Season 3,” an insider told The Post at the time.
