Patti LuPone is set to join the upcoming third season of "And Just Like That."
While the announcement of her involvement has been made public, the specifics of her character remain shrouded in mystery.
In a recent interview with EW, executive producer Michael Patrick King revealed that a significant storyline will unfold for the Broadway superstar's character in the upcoming season of the show.
"It's a lot of 'new' within the familiar, but even the familiar characters are going through new things."
LuPone will be joining forces with fresh faces such as Mehcad Brooks, Logan Marshall-Green, and Rosie O'Donnell.
The highly anticipated return promises to bring new dynamics and storylines to the beloved "Sex and the City" series, following the adventures of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis).
News of LuPone joining the HBO Max show comes after she finally revealed her opinions regarding the latest revival of "Sunset Boulevard" on Broadway.
She reached out to theatre journalist Frank DiLella and expressed her admiration for the show, praising Nicole Scherzinger and Jamie Lloyd's direction.
In a voice recording, the former Norma Desmond star said, "I was Sunset Boulevard last night."
"Now I went in with trepidation because I have strong feelings about the show, not what happened to me in the show, but the show, period. I loved this production. I thought Nicole [Scherzinger] and Tom [Francis] were stunning. I thought Nicole was unbelievable she broke my heart. She is a force. I thought the cast was fantastic, the lighting."
"The use of the filming was something that I questioned because I don't know where I am. Am I at a movie or at the theatre? This worked brilliantly. The whole thing. I was energized when I left the theatre. I loved it."
In an interview with "The View," LuPone previously hinted at her excitement to see how Lloyd approached the musical, referring to it as "lumbering."
Following her groundbreaking portrayal of Norma Desmond in London, LuPone's intricate relationship with the musical was shattered. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's decision to dismiss her sparked a legal battle that ultimately resulted in a settlement referred to by LuPone as the "Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial Pool."
