And Just Like That season 3 release schedule: When will episode 4 air?

But while the spark is clearly still alive between them, despite so much time spent apart, smuggling Adderall into the state for his son and sleeping on her own in his guest house doesn't exactly scream romance...

So, just how long can they keep this going for?

"I have a rule in writing that we don’t repeat," showrunner Michael Patrick King told Harper's Bazaar. "And because Aidan has been on the show twice, we couldn’t repeat any of those stories. As writers, we sort of painted ourselves into a corner last season where he said, 'I have to go home and be with my family. Give me five years.' End. Now what?

"First of all, we had to figure out, what did Carrie actually think she agreed to? That’s number one. And number two, how do you possibly keep this alive?

"We knew what we didn’t want to do: Five years later, Aidan comes back. That would be terrible. It created an interesting story maze that we had to move these characters through, and any obstacle creates opportunities. So how are they going to get together? That was the fun part."

With three episodes currently available to watch, when will the fourth arrive?

What will happen in And Just Like That season 3?

In season 3 of the Sex and the City prequel, Carrie is writing a book, which should provide a healthy distraction while Aidan is tending to his son Wyatt back in Virginia.

After his meltdown last season while his dad was visiting Carrie in New York, Aidan has put his relationship on hold to prioritise his son's happiness.

"The Carrie-Aidan relationship is dramatic and exciting because it contains two points of view," writer Michael Patrick King told Entertainment Weekly.

"I think half the fans who do not want Carrie to be in a relationship will be like, ‘Enough!’ The other half will understand that when you love somebody, what comes with them is their family."

But he did say that he has "no interest in torturing an audience too much", so hopefully there will be a swift resolution either way. In the season 3 trailer, one of Carrie's new neighbours takes a shine to her. Will that develop into something more?

Elsewhere, Miranda is a lawyer at Human Rights Watch and navigating the queer dating scene following her breakup with Che, Charlotte is very much still a working woman after she decided to re-enter the art world last season, Lisa remains wholly focused on her documentary work, and Seema dumps Ravi after his career continues to encroach on their relationship, leaving her free to start dating again, but she's not exactly thrilled about it.
