And just like that, another cast member bites the dust.
The Sex and the City sequel series And Just Like That has lost a key star.
Karen Pittman, who played Professor Nya Wallace in the controversial HBO Max revival, has decided not to return for season three.
The Mississippi native left the comedy series due to scheduling conflicts.
Max announced the news on Friday, saying in a statement to Deadline that he was “delighted” to work with Pittman, 37.
“We've really enjoyed working with this dynamic actress, and so have the other actresses. She's on two other streamer series, so filming three shows at once is a huge challenge. “It has become clear that this is not possible,” the memo continued.
Pittman also currently appears on Apple TV+'s “The Morning Show” and will appear in the upcoming Netflix series “Forever.”
“We will miss Karen and Nya, but Max's family and fans will all be rooting for her in her other endeavours,” the streamer added.
Pittman was introduced in the first season of “And Just Like That” and also appeared in the second season. She was a law professor and friend of her character Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon).
The Luke Cage star's departure comes on the heels of co-star Sara Ramirez revealing she will not be returning to the show.
After Che Diaz's controversial appearance on “Grey's Anatomy,” it was announced last month that he would be leaving the show.
It was initially reported that Ramirez, 48, may have been arrested for posting pro-Palestinian posts on Instagram.
However, on February 27, a source told the Daily Mail that producers had always considered separating the character.
A source said at the time, “Sarah was not fired because she supports the ceasefire with Palestine.''
“Sarah was fired because Che brought nothing more to the show. After Che broke up with Miranda, the character no longer had any value and fans found them annoying.”
Ramirez appeared on both seasons 1 and 2 of “AJLT,” playing a comedian who pursues a relationship with Miranda.
The release date for season 3 has not yet been revealed.
