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 revival, which airs locally on BINGE — has decided not to return for season three.

The Mississippi native has left the comedy series due to scheduling conflicts.

HBO Max announced the news, saying in a statement to Deadline that it was a “joy” to work with Pittman, 37.

“As we have thoroughly enjoyed working with this dynamic actress, so too have others. Due to her commitments to two other streamer series, it has become apparent that filming three shows at once isn’t possible,” the memo continued.

Pittman is also currently starring on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show and will appear in the forthcoming Netflix series Forever.

“Karen and Nya will be missed, and her Max family and fans will all be cheering her on in her other endeavours,” the streamer added.

Pittman was introduced in the first season of And Just Like That and also appeared in the sophomore season. Her character was a friend, as well as the law professor of Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon).

The star’s exit comes on the heels of co-star Sara Ramirez revealed they won’t be returning to the show.

The Grey’s Anatomy actor’s axing was revealed last month after their character Che Diaz received a controversial reception.

It was initially reported that Ramirez, 48, may have been canned over their pro-Palestinian Instagram posts.

However, on February 27, an insider told the Daily Mail that cutting off the character had always been on the table by producers.

The source explained at the time: “Sara was not fired because they support Palestine and the ceasefire.”

“Sara was fired because Che brought nothing to the show anymore. After Che split with Miranda, the character really held no value anymore and fans found them annoying.”

Ramirez starred in both seasons one and two of AJLT, where they portrayed a comedian who pursues a relationship with Miranda.

No release date for season three has been revealed yet.
