The Lede

The upcoming third season of Max’s AND JUST LIKE THAT… just got a lot rosier, with confirmation that Rosie O’Donnell has joined the cast. As production began, O’Donnell broke the news on Instagram with a photo of her script from the first episode of Season 3, titled “Outlook Good.” The script also shows that the name of O’Donnell’s character is Mary, but everything else is being kept under wraps – although that hasn’t stopped some intense online speculation! The first two seasons of AND JUST LIKE THAT… are on Crave, alongside all six seasons of HBO’s SEX AND THE CITY.

Last weekend’s episode of HBO’s THE SYMPATHIZER was a pivotal one, as The Captain, played by Hoa Xuande, made a devastating ethical choice that will change everything as the series moves forward. With the fourth episode dropping Sunday on Crave, Xuande talked about The Captain’s efforts to try to stay focused and sane, while he continues to live an increasingly complicated double life, in an interview with TV critic Bill Harris for The Lede. As Xuande put it, “you sometimes have to do things that you’re not proud of, and we see that portrayed, obviously, with The Captain, but also with so many other characters in this story.”
