Sex and the City spinoff And Just Like That loses yet ANOTHER character as Max confirms actress is exiting the show following Che Diaz

Another cast member has exited And Just Like That... as the Max series prepares to enter its third season.

Karen Pittman, who played Professor Nya Wallace on the Sex and the City spin-off, is walking away after two seasons, citing 'scheduling conflicts'.

'It has been a joy to have Karen Pittman play the smart and stunning Professor Nya Wallace on the first two seasons of And Just Like That,' a Max spokesperson told Deadline.

'As we have thoroughly enjoyed working with this dynamic actress, so too have others. Due to her commitments to two other streamer series, it has become apparent that filming three shows at once isn't possible,' they continued. 

The statement concluded, 'Due to the production realities, we are disappointed to announce that scheduling conflicts will not allow us to continue with this character as part of season 3 of And Just Like That.

Nya started out as Miranda's professor in season one, and then became her friend and roommate in season two

'Karen and Nya will be missed, and her Max family and fans will all be cheering her on in her other endeavors.' 

Karen's character Nya was one of the most prominent new characters on the show.

She started out as Miranda's professor in season one, and then became her friend and roommate in season two. 

Nya isn't the only new character to depart before season three, with Che Diaz (played by Sara Ramirez) also leaving.

Kristin Davis recently revealed filming on And Just Like That... season three is set to begin imminently.

The spin-off - which stars Davis as Charlotte York alongside Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw and Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes - will return in 2025 after WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes delayed work on new scripts.

Sharing a montage of behind-the-scenes moments from the show, Kristin wrote on Instagram: 'It’s almost that time again… can’t wait to be reunited with my AJLT family.'

The show was renewed back in August at HBO's streaming service Max, just days before the much-anticipated return of Kim Cattrall's iconic Sex and the City character Samantha Jones.

In a statement, Max's Head of Original Content Sarah Aubrey, said: 'As we approach the highly anticipated season finale on Thursday, we raise our cosmos to [showrunner] Michael Patrick King and his magnificent team of writers, producers, cast and crew who continue to charm us, 25 years later, with dynamic friendships and engaging stories.' 

Aubrey added: 'We cannot wait for audiences to see where season three will take our favorite New Yorkers.'

Showrunner Michael Patrick King said: 'We are thrilled to spend more time in the Sex and the City universe telling new stories about the lives of these relatable and aspirational characters played by these amazing actors.'
