<p id=”par-2_93″>Rosie O’Donnell is officially joining the cast of <em>And Just Like That… </em>for season 3. The famed talk show host and actor took to <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.instagram.com/rosie/?hl=en” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram </a>to share a photo of her script for the show’s first episode. According to the post, O’Donnell will take on the role of Mary. It is the first time fans have heard about O’Donnell’s involvement in the series. O’Donnell didn’t share further information about her part, but it is safe to assume the character will be brand new to the <em>Sex and the City</em> universe. It is unclear how many episodes she’ll appear in. </p>

<p id=”par-3_82″>While O’Donnell is keeping details of her character quiet for now, her post did give away one juicy detail about the upcoming season. The first episode appears to be titled “Outlook Good.” The optimistic but vague title has fans cooking up wild theories about the upcoming season’s storyline. While some fans think the title might refer to<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sex-and-the-city-was-aidan-shaw-the-1-at-fault-for-carrie-and-aidans-failed-engeagemnt.html/”> the return of Aidan Shaw</a>, Carrie Bradshaw’s on-again-off-again love interest, John Corbett, the actor who portrays the hunky furniture designer, has not appeared on set. </p>

<p id=”par-4_81″>While Rosie O’Donnell is in as a new character on <em>And Just Like That…</em>, two other actors have departed the show. In January, it was reported that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/and-just-like-that-fans-are-getting-what-they-want-che-diaz-has-been-axed-from-season-3.html/”>Sara Ramirez had been axed</a> from the reboot. Ramirez played nonbinary comedian Che Diaz. While Ramirez is beloved for their work on <em>Grey’s Anatomy</em>, the character of Che fell flat for fans. They were among the most hated new TV characters in recent history. Che was introduced in the premiere episode and served as Miranda Hobbes’ love interest. </p>
