A New York City stage legend is joining the ladies of “Sex and the City.”

On Friday, Entertainment Weekly confirmed that Patti LuPone, 75, is joining the “Sex and the City” spinoff, “And Just Like That,” for Season 3. 

According to the outlet, her role is a secret, but executive producer Michael Patrick King said that she’ll have “an arc on our show this season.”

“It’s a lot of ‘new’ within the familiar, but even the familiar characters are going through new things,” King said about Season 3. 

“It’s more than Carrie [Sarah Jessica Parker] that has a new apartment. Miranda [Cynthia Nixon] has a new apartment. We feel that there’s a lot of newness in the world right now, especially for these characters. We wanted to tell new stories and put them through new obstacles.”

LuPone joins other announced new cast members, including “Law & Order” star Mehcad Brooks, Logan Marshall Green, and Rosie O’Donnell. Meanwhile, cast member Sara Ramirez, who played Miranda’s controversial love interest, Che Diaz, will not return.

The show follows the friends of “Sex and the City” – including Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) through life, love, work and family issues in their 50s. Notably, Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones is not in the show, although she did get a brief cameo in Season 2. 

Cattrall has long been rumored to be in a  feud with her former “Sex and the City” co-stars, although Parker once told The Post in 2018, “I don’t have a disagreement with Kim, there’s no catfight… I’ve only ever expressed admiration and gratitude for everything she contributed — and I still feel that way.”

LuPone is a Broadway staple. Most recently, she’s been performing in “The Roommate” with Mia Farrow, and she was also nominated for Tonys for her roles in “The Robber Bridegroom” (1976), “Anything Goes” (1988), “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” ((2003), “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” (2011), and “War Paint” (2017). She also won Tonys for “Evita” (1980) “Gypsy” (2008) and “Company” (2022). 

LuPone has had her share of controversies, too. 

In November, Kecia Lewis, 59, released a six-minute Instagram video  where she called out LuPone, 75, for how she allegedly treated the production of “Hell’s Kitchen,” which Lewis stars in as Miss Liza Jane.

“Hell’s Kitchen” is at the Shubert Theatre, which shares a back wall with LuPone and Mia Farrow’s show “The Roommate” at the Booth Theatre.

Lewis then addressed “a couple of situations that have gone on in the last few weeks” involving the “Agatha All Along” actress.

“The first one is that you contacted our theater owner about changing a couple of our sound cues because you found them to be too loud,” Lewis claimed. “You also, after our sound design was adjusted, sent flowers to our sound and stage management team thanking them.”

Lewis’ video showed a clip of LuPone outside the theater telling a fan she wouldn’t sign a “Hell’s Kitchen” playbill because the show is “too loud.”

“These actions, in my opinion, are bullying,” said Lewis. “They’re offensive, they are racially microaggressive, they’re rude, they’re rooted in privilege. And these actions also lack a sense of community and leadership for someone as yourself, who has been in the business as long as you have.” 

“The Roommate” producers responded to Lewis’ video in an Instagram statement the following day. 

“We are grateful to everyone at ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ for adjusting their cues to prevent sound bleed into our theater, which was affecting backstage, onstage and into the audience,” the statement read. “On Broadway, these historic buildings were built long before the existence of modern amplification and sit side by side, playhouses sharing walls with musical houses. These kinds of sound accommodations from one show to another are not unusual and are always deeply appreciated. We’re proud to share Shubert Alley with ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ and wish our neighbors continued success.”

Season 3 of “And Just Like That” will premiere on Max at an unannounced date in 2025.
