Simmer down now! Cheri Oteri is joining the cast of And Just Like That… for the the Max show’s third season, which just began shooting this week. While the Saturday Night Live alum’s role is still unknown, Oteri broke the news of her involvement on Instagram, posting photos of herself on set with creator Michael Patrick King. “I’m in New York and just finished shooting And Just Like That… and it was so much fun,†Oteri said in a video taken after filming in Lincoln Center Plaza. She also shared photos on set with stars Mario Cantone (Anthony) and Sarita Choudhury (Seema), giving us some fodder to speculate about who she’ll be playing and just how much she’ll appear. We can only hope she’ll be in every single scene of every single episode.
Oteri is the latest casting to come out as the show begins shooting its new season. Most recently, Rosie O’Donnell also announced her casting via Instagram, revealing that she’ll be playing a character named Mary, and gets to wear a wig. With series regulars Sara Ramirez (Che Diaz) and Karen Pittman (Dr. Nya Wallace) exiting the show, there’s plenty of room for fresh faces to join the rotation cycling through Samantha’s vacated fourth seat. And while we’re on the subject, when will Molly Shannon and Amy Sedaris finally get to reprise their roles as Carrie Bradshaw’s two powerhouse book publishers?
