'And Just Like That' loses one of its main stars for season 3.

Sara Ramirez, known for her role as non-binary comedian Che Diaz in the 'Sex and the City' spin-off series 'And Just Like That', will not return for the show's third season, which should premiere in 2025 on Max. The report of her departure, released through the U.S. trade press, signals the end of Ramirez's participation in the series after two seasons, marked by both controversy and interest generated by her character.

Che Diaz was introduced in the first season as the love interest of Miranda Hobbs, played by Cynthia Nixon, causing the end of her marriage to Steve (David Eigenberg). During the second installment, Che and Miranda's relationship deteriorated, culminating in their final separation. This conclusion has led producers to decide not to continue with the character in the next installment, a source close to the production revealed to Deadline.

Ramirez's performance in this role elicited mixed reactions from audiences. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she expressed, "It's really interesting to play a person who provokes such strong reactions and can start much-needed conversations," highlighting the importance of representing the LGBTQIA+ community beyond stereotypes of perfection or universal likability. "Not every person is likable in every community. One non-binary character does not represent all non-binary people," she added.

There was speculation that Sara Ramirez's departure could be due to her pro-Palestinian stances on social media, especially after the Daily Mail suggested that her posts may have influenced her departure. However, sources consulted by Deadline denied that theory, arguing that the conclusion of Che's character was due to narrative reasons: she reached the end point of her story in a natural denouement after breaking up with Miranda.
