'And Just Like That…' Season 3 Starts with a Twist You Probably Missed
The day has finally arrived. And Just Like That… season three is officially here, with the premiere episode hitting HBO Max last night. First things first, hats off to the AJLT team for giving us another season in under a year. (Looking at you, other streamers. Take notes.) Now, let's get into it. I watched the season opener and I have thoughts.
Overall, the first episode moves at a slow pace—but not necessarily in a bad way. It feels like the writers may be gently setting the stage for everything to come. We pick up right where we left off. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is settling into a stunning new brownstone, living solo with the hope that Aidan will return (sooner than later) and they'll eventually share it together. In the meantime, Carrie and Aidan attempt phone sex—twice. And let's just say… neither attempt quite hits the mark.

Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), single and settling into her queer identity, is out at a gay bar when she meets Mary (Rosie O'Donnell), a confident woman her age. Sparks fly, they hook up and only after does Miranda find out that Mary was a virgin nun. Yep, you read that right.
Seema (Sarita Choudhury) nearly sets her mattress on fire while smoking a cigarette in bed, waiting for a call from her Hollywood director boyfriend that never comes. Although they do reconnect later in the episode, she ultimately decides to call it quits and break things off for good.
Craig Blankenhorn/Max
Charlotte's (Kristin Davis) storyline hasn't fully taken shape yet. She's mostly preoccupied defending her dog after it's (falsely) accused of attacking another dog. Turns out, the accuser just has terrible eyesight and mistook her pooch for another. There's also a budding plot around her daughter, Lily, who's crushing hard on a very fit ballet dancer.
Meanwhile, Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker) is in full creative mode, working on a PBS docuseries about overlooked Black women, while her husband stresses over whether running for city comptroller is 'cool.' Her response? 'Herbert, you are running for city comptroller—there is nothing cool about that.' Iconic.
The biggest twist? At the end of the episode, Carrie can't sleep. She heads to her laptop and begins typing—but for the first time, it's not in the first person. She writes, 'The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into.'
And just like that, season three is officially underway. One episode down, nine more to go.
Catch new episodes of And Just Like That… Thursdays at 9 PM ET on HBO Max through July 31.

With just hours before Kneecap takes the stage at the U,K,'s biggest music festival, the BBC remains tight-lipped about whether the controversial Belfast rappers will appear on TV, radio, or iPlayer. The hullabaloo around Kneecap's afternoon gig stems from allegations that the band displayed a Hezbollah flag at a November performance and made contentious comments about British MPs. We think the BBC will stream Kneecap – albeit on a delayed broadcast. But the situation remains fluid. If you're a fan of Kneecap's music, we'll keep you up to date as 4 p.m. BST approaches.

Marsha P. Johnson: The Black Pioneer Of Pride
SOPA Images A post that went up on our Instagram earlier this month sparked a bit of controversy in the comments (seen below) when we declared the month of June as an intersection between Black Music Month, Juneteenth, Caribbean Heritage Month and Pride Month. Of course, the issue came down to the latter's inclusion as some still fail to believe that Black culture can be connected to the LGBTQIA movement — yes, homophobia on various levels unfortunately still exists within our community. However, on the eve of commemorating the Stonewall Riots Anniversary (June 28) that sparked Pride Month altogether, we wanted to take a brief look at the Black drag queen that pioneered the movement from its violent inception to marching in the very first Pride Day Parade: the late Marsha P. Johnson. RELATED: Happy Pride Month: Celebrate 10 Black OG Influencers Who Paved The Way [Gallery] Marsha P. Johnson stands as an enduring symbol of courage, resilience, and activism. A Black transgender woman and revolutionary figure in LGBTQ+ history, Johnson's contributions transcend time, inspiring generations to fight for equality. Marsha played a pivotal role in the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a watershed moment for LGBTQ+ rights. Her presence at the uprising—widely regarded as the spark that ignited modern Pride movements—was marked by defiance and solidarity. At a time when queer individuals were criminalized and marginalized, Johnson stood on the frontline, embodying the fight against systemic oppression. Her courage underpinned a broader struggle for freedom, reminding the world that Black queer voices are an integral part of social progress. Beyond Stonewall, Johnson co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) alongside Sylvia Rivera. This organization provided shelter and support to homeless LGBTQ+ youth, particularly trans people of color. Through STAR, Marsha championed the rights of those overlooked by mainstream society, offering safe spaces and a voice to the most vulnerable. Her impact endures as a intersectional icon—her identity as a Black, transgender individual highlights the struggles and contributions of people living at the intersections of multiple forms of discrimination. Today, Marsha's legacy fuels Pride Month celebrations and underscores the necessity of equity in both LGBTQ+ and racial justice movements. Johnson's life was tragically cut short in 1992 under suspicious circumstances, yet her memory remains a beacon of hope and action. Pride Month is a time to amplify her powerful message: equality is non-negotiable, and the fight for liberation requires unity across all communities. Marsha P. Johnson's bravery continues to inspire, cementing her place as a towering icon of resilience and unyielding activism. The article 'Marsha P. Johnson: The Black Pioneer Of Pride' was created with the help of SEE ALSO
