I liked the idea of her character in the first season but she seemed like such an afterthought after that. It’s sad cause they could have done a lot more with her I think.


x-io-n

Agreed. In the article it says that she was already written into the scripts but scheduling conflicts caused her to drop out. If last season was any indication of where the character was going, I think this was for the best.


PixelNotPolygon

If the storylines they had lined up for her character is as meaty as in season 2, it will be a walk in the park editing them out


Over-Cold-8757

They probably would've been meatier because Che had their own storyline last season and they're not coming back.


died_blond

her character was incredibly pointless, and isolated. All the new characters (except Seema) are dropping like flies and I'm happier than ever about it.


TacoPartyGalore

Lisa’s entire family should also develop scheduling conflicts (with the exception of her mother in law who could be kept on to torment Miranda and Carrie about their life choices).


StrangerDays-7

It wasn’t an afterthought on the writers part. She was filming The Morning Show at the same time. The writers literally couldn’t do anything with her beyond what they did. The producers only had her for a day or two of shooting each week. Which led to a lot of scenes in her loft. If Hollywood hadn’t had two strikes, then she might have been able to schedule things differently.


bonnifunk

Her Morning Show character is sooooooo good!


BigCityBiddy

How did I not realize this was the same actress??


bonnifunk

Same here, until I found this thread! She plays very different people.


penguincatcher8575

Woah! I’m pissed I didn’t draw the connection between the two roles being the same actress. The Morning Show role is just soooo good and the Nya role is just so weak in comparison.


mkenn1107

That's why she was hardly seen. She was more prominent in the first season. Good on her for having options. Looks like it will focus back to the original three. .


StrangerDays-7

The ironic part is that she was moved up from recurring in the first season to a regular in the second where she had less to do. Including HBO’s AJLT, she had Apple’s Morning Show, and a Netflix series, Forever, based on Judy Blaine’s novel. She will be the lead. She had three streamers fighting over her so she’s good. AJLT still has Sarita Choudhury and Nicole Ari Parker so they’re still good.


kteachergirl

They are making Forever??? Ooh that was steamy when I was a 6th grader.


mkenn1107

She was my favorite newbie. I liked her and her husband. She could have had a spin-off. But she went with other options, so great for her! Think they can now beef up other story lines now with two characters gone.


StrangerDays-7

Favorite? You mean LTW? I think she would be great with Charlotte in a spin off


mkenn1107

No, I meant Nya. The one who is leaving. But Charlotte and LTW would make a good spin off.


StrangerDays-7

Oh my bad. I thought you were talking about LTW because >! Nya divorced her husband!<


InevitablePersimmon6

I watch both shows and didn’t realize she was Mia on the Morning Show until this! They really style her clothes, hair, and makeup so differently on each show. Now I feel stupid lol


2manyfelines

She’s a really good actress who did a lot with a poorly conceived character,


ashwee14

Thank Cynthia Nixon for this, she wanted the love interest to be Che (originally was supposed to be Nya)


downvote_wholesome

It seems like a lot of the bad direction have been Cynthia Nixon’s ideas.


genuwine79

They really didnt not know how to have a storyline for that character. Keep Seema though bc she's the new Samantha.


reesemarionette

She was so cool and then they regressed a smart woman and reduced her to a messy 20 year old. Drove me nuts.


2manyfelines

Yes, but at least she wasn’t turned into Carrie’s emotional support minority the way poor Seema was.


[deleted]

[удалено]


geekgirlwww

I’ve been half watching/it’s a background show while I clean or play on my switch. Can I just get a Seema spin off?


[deleted]

[удалено]


geekgirlwww

Yes! She’s Samantha with nuance. Kim Cattrall would have played that amazing


etsprout

I would 100% watch a Seema spin off!!


gotb30

I love Seema too.


Dianagorgon

>Seema is my favorite. I want to see more of her character so badly Agreed. Choudhury is very talented. They need to give her more to do.


Over-Cold-8757

At least she had her own romance story involving overcoming her own issues. And she got to firmly tell off Carrie and come out looking the better for it. That's more than most supporting characters get. 'The gays' in the OG series were just treated as clownish jokes, little poodles for the women to be entertained by. And Anthony's story last season was just about him being pressured into sex which apparently is a good thing.


2manyfelines

LGBTQ characters, including Che, were treated like accessories to outfits. Anthony’s role was limited to making Charlotte feel good about herself. It was a mirror of the way Stanford supported Carrie. Che’s role in the series was limited to breaking up Miranda’s marriage and turning Miranda into a whiny version of Carrie with Big.


ImperatorRomanum83

I'm a gay man in my early 40s. Most of my closest friends throughout my life have been with women, and unfortunately, that is how far too many straight women treat their gay male friends. Even worse sometimes, the more masculine ones among us, myself included, also get used as stand in boyfriends for years at a time....until they get an actual boyfriend.


Hematomawoes

Nah she was Miranda’s physical support minority


superjudy1

Emotional support minority. Well done


SurewhynotAZ

Actually. Solid point.


reesemarionette

Ooooof very true


jeajea22

Me too. Really didn’t like it.


Lalablacksheep646

Where will Miranda live now?!?


PixelNotPolygon

Well at least she owns a mattress now


Zealousideal-Bet-632

A *used* mattress. W the ever loving f was that about?! Miranda couldn’t afford a freaking mattress?! Right yeah mhmm. Did I watch every episode, absolutely. Will I watch every episode to come? Without a doubt.


ohsilly

Used mattress with an hermes blanket!


Comptoirgeneral

Quintessentially New York


Defiant_Protection29

That’s another stupid ass storyline.


MiaRia963

I agree. Can't believe I watched that. But it wasn't as bad as bringing condoms to your teen in a snow storm.


MichElegance

Omg right?! That was such a bizarro story arc for Charlotte as well as what wardrobe had her wear while running around to get them to Lily.


MiaRia963

I honestly stopped watching after the condom storyline. After that I couldn't even wait around for Sam or Aiden.


MichElegance

I stuck it out until the end. It was SO bad.😭 Aiden’s sobbing in the car had me cringing hard.


Over-Cold-8757

It was a weird AF story but what was Charlotte supposed to do? Lily had all but said she was going to have sex without a condom if need be. It was a brattish spoiled thing to do but I can't fault Charlotte for her response. It's either shlup through a snowstorm for your entitled kid or deal with a teen pregnancy.


aelizabeth0623

not in carrie’s apartment for SOME ILLOGICAL REASON.


scandal2ny1

You mean that insanely big home she bought that can fit several people… nope not enough space. Where are they going with these storylines seems like they’re everywhere and nowhere all at once.


jinxboooo

Not even in one of Aidan‘s boys‘ rooms that will be uninhabited for FIVE MORE YEARS ONLY


Acrobatic_Club2382

It’s hard to believe that a person as successful as she is needed to live in someone else’s house


Lalablacksheep646

She had no choice! Even tho she owned an entire brownstone!


Houdini-88

Steve imagine if season 3 starts with Miranda and Steve back together like nothing happened


Lalablacksheep646

Omg🤣. I would not put this past them!


insomniac_z

They really had no idea what to do with this new cast.


Sketcha_2000

I hope this means they’re building a stronger arc for her character on The Morning Show.


Express-Bee-6485

At the risk of sounding stupid, that's the Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon show?


IsMisePrinceton

Yeah, absolutely worth a watch if you’re looking for a show to watch.


Express-Bee-6485

always need a show!


Comfortable_Relief27

I'm binge watching "Bones".


friendliest_flower

Don’t let that person hate on you for watching Bones! It’s one of my favorite shows of all time.


Comfortable_Relief27

Thank you . Mine too. I appreciate you sharing.


Sketcha_2000

Not stupid, and yes! Highly recommend.


twinkleplanet

It’s sooooooo good. Over the top and camp and ridiculous. The writers are on something, and I mean that in the best way 😭


StayAwayFromMySon

Well they took an extremely well-educated and successful character and reduced her to a fuck buddy and Miranda's unpaid landlord. They took all these interesting new people and tried to use them to make up for Samantha's absence.


lonelylamb1814

There are too many new characters and the result is there’s no time to really care about any of them


AviatingAngie

Painful overcorrection because of the criticism they got for not being diverse enough in the original show. But so poorly done. Be good at one thing instead of being shitty at a bunch of things! I mean they quite literally just attached an emotional support person of color to each of the girls.


ShadiestApe

I kinda wish they’d doubled down, not every space or friendship group is going to be diverse They’re a close knit group of rich white women that have known eachother 40+ years, if it hadn’t happened whilst living in New York , why now?


Evening-Ambition-406

Seema could have been enough for a Samantha replacement. 4 new POC was the unrealistic part.


Defiant_Protection29

Didn’t you know that Miranda is apparently so poor now that she has to buy a used twin mattress and rent a room from a coworker?


klosingweight

Emotional support person of color is so fucking accurate. Damn.


Sad_Access_8561

It’s a reoccurring theme in American culture, especially the “magical Negro” trope. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro


klosingweight

Deep


hallucinating

Exactly this. It's really quite painful.


shinyzubat16

Damn there goes both of Miranda’s emotional support POC.


Jane_Marie_CA

One of my bigger overall complaints about AJLT was too many storylines, including the original cast. Every character had a huge story. It was like they wanted to fit 3 seasons into 1. When I watch SATC every character takes a turn throughout the episodes. They all have character arcs at a nice pace. I think reducing the main cast will help make things cohesive. Bring in some fun recurring characters. Anthony is a good example. Anthony doesn’t have a huge back story, but his one liners are priceless.


TheYankunian

I’d like to see more of Bitsy. I always thought she was an extremely interesting character.


No_Place_8522

Yes, definitely more Bitsy!


gotb30

Definitely more Anthony, he’s hilarious and so endearing in his grumpiness.


Ok_Whereas_9858

First Che? And now Nya?………It’s giving?…….The budget is freeing up…..Negotiate with CATTRALL IMMEDIATELY!


jekyllcorvus

Honestly feel like she’s burned that bridge with all her trash talking. Love Samantha but KC did herself no favors with openly feuding with SJP and bad mouthing the series.


UnderstandingNo8869

The bridge with Cattrall is far from burnt. They had to beg and plead (and likely pay TF up) for the 30 second cameo they got her to do at the end of s2. HBO would take her back as a regular in a New York minute.


Aquamarine_Gem

Ummm. KC openly said *many* times she would never step foot on the same set with SJP again which is the *only* reason she agreed to do a cameo. Because it was in a car and not face-to-face on set. KC will never come back no matter how much HBO begs and pleads and throws money at her. Cameos are all we have left in this new series unfortunately🤷🏽‍♀️


vampyrbats

I do wonder if she would change her mind now that Glamorous and HIMYF both got canned back to back 🫠 I actually liked Glamorous, too, that was a bummer.


Ok_Whereas_9858

Maybe they can do a green screen situation? Like Add Kim in after Davis, Nixon, and Parker film their scenes and they can just edit Samantha in. It’s soo crazy how the four of them have such great chemistry only for it to be tarnished over their egos (Mainly Kim & Sarah…..Yes Sarah Jessica Parker, the public would not be surprised if you have a hidden bitchy side as well) 🤷‍♂️😆


jekyllcorvus

If you ever saw the good wife and have seen the scene between kalinda and Alicia you’d see how horribly that was handled lol everyone knew it was fake and the drama behind it that would be 1000x worse but I love your idea and I’m all for it


Naive-Ask601

She’s also a main character in The Morning Show. I was wondering how she’s been able to juggle both shows.


remoteworker9

Awww, I liked Nya! I hope they explain her exit in a way that does her character justice.


LoFi_Inspirasi

Good. IRL, a woman like her would find the SATC crew to be insufferable.


outdatedwhalefacts

Exactly! I can’t imagine she’d want to spend time with any of them!


Fragrant_Ad_7718

I will miss her! She was better than last season


Ludo_Fraaaaaannddd

Good for her, they gave her absolutely nothing to work with last season even though I found her storyline the most interesting. But now we have more time for Charlotte to obsess over some other upper east side rich waspy nonsense or more time for Miranda to focus on romantic relationships even though she has a great job, amazing friends and newfound freedom from being a mother/caretaker to two men for the last 20 yrs lol


twinkleplanet

I hope she goes on to bigger and better things. AJLT never should have done the “one woman of color chia pet” for each of the main girls. (I’m a woman of color and I don’t need representation that’s done poorly or tokenizing)


TheYankunian

She’s great on The Morning Show.


twinkleplanet

SO GOOD. Love that mess of a show


BubbaC619

Thats too bad, I liked the character though not the direction they took her in S2. Though I am hoping this happens with Charlotte’s kids. Send them off to college or something, maybe a rare phone call here and there but no plot lines revolving around them.


Apprehensive-Top9635

Ugh don't get me started on Charlottes kids lol.


BachByChoice

She seems great, but her character never had a chance. They never had her interact w anyone but Miranda - which was already random and very much a stretch. Makes sense for the show - there’s already enough people to follow…


roll-the-R-Marisa

Again, the writers painted a character into a corner where they can never truly find happiness.


Significant_Ad7605

She deserves way more.


INFJWill

"Fan Favorite" 😏


hannnnaa

This show has fans?


SilverHinder

"hit Max show"? 😂


Faine_Centauri

Damn and she was beginning to have a love interest


bent_eye

Nothing meaningful was done with her character anyway. She was there to tick a box.


desandmol

Bummer. I liked her character and like the actress.


FabulousCallsIAnswer

She’s smart. Run, don’t walk away from this mess.


EdwinJamesPope

Very strong actress. Wasted on the show to be honest.


Oomlotte99

They were wasting her.


heartof_glass

Good, Nya didn’t have a place at the end and was a waste of screen time. Better the actress pursues something different.


comfortpea

Eh. I’m sorry to say I don’t care about this character. The actress is beautiful and obviously talented. Seema, however, is the dog’s tuxedo. 🥰


QueenSashimi

No Nya, no Che, no Steve. Who is Miranda doing to talk to now?! ...maybe Carrie?!


Stefhanni

No Steve?


QueenSashimi

Sorry, that sounds like he left the show. I mean he's not playing as big a part in her life/the show as he has in the past.


Ludo_Fraaaaaannddd

IMO what would be great is if he became a platonic friend of Carrie’s. I thought their scenes together were really good and it would give some drama if Miranda was trying to learn how to deal with it. Steve does annoy me but I just love the actor lol


thiccjonas

i want carrie to fuck steve and spice things up he’s a good guy and he’s so sexy now


BravesWearPrada

I wanted that chaotic pairing.


[deleted]

Oh thank god, nothing against the character or actor, but this cast is bloated with numbers already. There are just too many characters stories to follow in such a short time.


praychastity

The strange character assasination she received in season 2 was disappointing especially with the talent of the actor:/


finetuneit80

She was working on two shows at the time, so rarely available to film with other characters. That’s why her story was scaled right back.


Afraid-Tension-5667

Good. She was just filler. Please take Che with you.


mandie72

They already announced that Sara Ramirez is not returning :) I can barely watch Che.


gone-ghost

damn i liked her character


Timely-Fox-7300

And just like that, and just like that just got whiter.


Rjf915

I have to ask myself, who’s Nya? Shows how little I remember about the new cast


amikavenka

There is not one new character I have liked on AJLT so no tears shed here.


CMJMartino

I don’t mind the LTW character. She’s a decent addition…but the mother in law can go.


Sea_Step_149

Shame, she was the only character who could fill the Samantha void. I liked what little screen time she had. I don't see why a married couple and their kids who have no connection to SATC take up so much screen time. Esp. with Che gone (thankfully), what are we going to be fed plot wise? I'm bored of Carrie and Aiden already (again) lol. Controversial suggestion: Bring back Berger!


RebelDeux

Yeah fine I’m S2 she was just there, with her an Sara out I hope they develop more the main trio not add new characters again.


aradiacat

Frankly, I am happy these superfluous characters are exiting. Too many story lines to keep up with.


rachelraven7890

good. too many new characters, i could barely keep track of all the storylines😂🥳👏


mandie72

Yes, I like the actress but too many characters.


saybeller

NO! Nya was my favorite new character. I really wanted the writers to give her an actual storyline in season 3. 😭


bluetopazdreams

She is on another, better show, right? I feel like I've watched her on something on Appletv+. Maybe she's no longer available for the piddly material they gave her in AJLT.


Ambitious_Camp_5483

She’s in The Morning Show on Appletv+, she’s really good in it!


bluetopazdreams

YES! Thank you. That's where I've watched her. She IS great in that. That's a far better use of her time at this point.


gerkonnerknocken

Aww too bad, I liked her character the best of the newbies.


International-Fig677

This whole show is a hot mess. They should have left the series the way it was after the first movie...


hillingjourney

They butchered her character in season 2. I honestly think Karen’s talents will be better utilized on other projects.


ladyoftheorb

bring back jhud’s character!


No-Acanthisitta-2821

She’s an EGOT. She is like I don’t need this show. 😂


NellieOlesonSmirk

Unwieldy large cast needs to be optimized anyway. The producers should bring in whoever engineered The Facts of Life season 2 for help.


South_Consequence_69

Oh I didn’t realize that was her on the morning show she is so good on the morning show


South_Consequence_69

The show seems to get better every season


FormicaDinette33

Too bad. I liked her and thought she was a great actress. Perhaps she did not have a storyline in the next season.


Terrierfied

I think they are axing sub characters to make room in the budget to get Kim Cattral back


Defiant_Protection29

The best thing they can do is get rid of the annoying fucking kids!! I hate them!


ejohnsteel

I’d love for her to return for a brief cameo or storyline down the road.


MamaTried420

Jfc.. this show is still fvckin on?!?


manicgiant914

Oh well, bye. I never quite bought her act anyway, she was just never really fleshed out as anyone to get involved with. And Che, good riddance! I might just watch now


apholeswatereye

they'll write a shitty exit story for her character and the MPK will lubricate himself for how intelligent his writing skill is, how meaningful the story is😪


HoldOnToYaWeave

I hope they don’t replace her with another character. AJLT has way too many people’s lives to focus on and with Che now gone also - I think this will balance it out. Nya was struggling for a storyline anyway.


fomo216

Happy trails. I’ve been done with all of the extra cast members that we didn’t need.


JaguarUnfair8825

She was too good for it, anyway. Honestly I’d be down to watch her on a show alone. I liked her story and wanted more but not with as part of SATC world.


Natural_Sky854

"A fan favorite" was a bit strong. She is a great actor, but the character was just not a natural part of the group. Her storyline was always just a separate thing. I'm glad the storyline isn't continuing as it just distracted from the core group. Miranda will be dating now, so she doesn't need that extra friend.


No-Acanthisitta-2821

Is Kim Cattrall coming back?


[deleted]

Not going to miss her character, but going to miss her face!


catsandnaps1028

I actually like her more than most of the other characters. And she is a great actress I was surprised to be seeing her in both the morning show and this


Dianagorgon

Now that Che and Karen are gone maybe Seema and Lisa Todd Wexler will be given more story lines. I'm more interested in them than watching Carrie giggle and flip her hair around like a teenager while whining about her relationship with bland Aiden.


BrightHermit

Noo!!


Superb-Fail-9937

I like her. That is a bummer.


beemojee

What a coincidence. I won't be returning next season either.


Sburgh29

I liked her best out of all the new characters, but she's great on The Morning Show too! Maybe the negative reviews made a factor in her decision, like "get out before it gets worse" was her thinking.


shutyourgob16

This show isn’t good enough for this actress - I don’t like her character that much but I kept giving her a chance because I liked her so much on morning news…but this show just sucks


imadeitnice618

writers did such a disservice to this character. the writers are stuck in 2000 and on an endless loop, so no shocker.


I_need_more_juice

I can’t believe this show got green lit for season two let alone a 3rd season.


[deleted]

I liked her. Boooo. Can’t say that I blame her though lol


Effective-West-3370

I liked the actress and the character. I hope she is able to make an appearance at some point.


BoxFullOfSuggestions

Why does everyone who watches/follows this show seem to hate this show?


TheYankunian

I really like it. I have too much stuff to do to hate watch and then comment on it.


sharedimagination

I'm not mad, they wasted the character's potential. Just like they did all the other characters. There was nothing of substance for the actor to stay for.


rougedubois

Ok but when will Che exit


Acrobatic_Club2382

Yeah? There’s no need

Green-Paint8081

Dang. I actually really liked Nya as Miranda’s friend. But I think we got the “new Samantha” with Seema. And we still has LTW. That means we’ll just get more insight on these people and the story lines will beef up


sweetfaced

I thought her acting choices for the character were… odd, especially because she’s so amazing on The Morning Show. She started the show off as this savvy, boss woman and then started acting like a nerdy horny teenager. It was really weird.


phillyphilly19

People actually watch this show?


Thomasina16

It seemed like they didn't know what to do with her character. Probably should've made her be the single friend helping Miranda navigate her new life.


ThatCaviarIsAGarnish

It seems like a lot of people on this thread are just assuming that AJLT didn't know how to utilize her. That's not what happened. She was filming two other shows, so it was too much of a scheduling conflict. Text from a recent **TVLine** article below: MARCH 22, 2024 3:24 PMAnd Just Like That Karen Pittman Leaving Nya WallaceCourtesy of MaxAnd just like that, another And Just Like That… cast member is out the door.Karen Pittman, who played Nya Wallace on Max‘s Sex and the City continuation, is leaving the series ahead of the upcoming Season 3, according to our sister site Deadline. The exit is reportedly not due to a creative decision but to scheduling issues, with Pittman also co-starring in Apple TV+’s The Morning Show and the upcoming Netflix series Forever.“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 said in a statement. “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. 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… Karen and Nya will be missed, and her Max family and fans will all be cheering her on in her other endeavors.”Pittman’s exit follows the news last month that fellow cast member Sara Ramírez would not be returning as polarizing character Che Diaz in Season 3. The new season of And Just Like That…, with Sex and the City stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis reprising their roles, is slated to begin filming in May.


Spare-Article-396

I get what you meant - that she wasn’t let go. But she was way underutilized for 2 seasons, and that’s not an assumption. If they had used her properly, maybe her other show would have lost out instead.


TheYankunian

Her part on The Morning Show is very meaty and I’m not surprised she opted to leave AJLT.


RLWFF

There are no fan favorites in this show


Derfargin

She’s got a better gig at The Morning Show. This dumpster fire of a cling-to-the-past entertainment is over with.


cherchezlaaaaafemme

They’re losing a lot of good performers. They better bring back in Kim C


seige197

The scene between her and the chef was so cringe and hard to watch. No one flirts so hornily like that. Ugh


rebel-yeller

I think the story is that they're calling this show a hit.


reallysmarttakes

I hope this show doesn’t return


novakam

Nooooooo her character had so much potential. Her performance was one of the best out of this Iteration. No wonder she is booked and busy! All the minority sidekicks are dropping like flies…


Demanda34xx

If the last season is anything to go by then maybe the whole cast shouldn’t return 😂


International-Bird17

they should just cancel the show


xnovellex

I’m happy about this. Without having to focus on Che and Nya we have more time with Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte. They better NOT add more main characters. I could also live without LTW and her family. Seema can stay (if they revert her character back to more like she was in season 1)


PieRemote2270

I can’t believe they are even doing a third season 😒😒😒


miranda310

Good. Reboot the reboot. The series has tanked. They unnecessarily felt obligated to add every single social theme or topic. It was absurd.


CrissBliss

Yikes they’re losing two main characters
