Ramírez, who has also starred in Grey's Anatomy, previously spoke out against some of the backlash over Che that first arose in season one.
"I'm very aware of the hate that exists online, but I have to protect my own mental health and my own artistry," Ramírez told The New York Times in 2022.
They also reminded viewers that they're "also not in control of the writing" and are an actor portraying a character, adding: "I don't recognize myself in Che."
No further cast announcements have been shared about And Just Like That season three, though it's thought that leading ladies Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis will return as Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte.
And Just Like That is available on NOW, Sky and HBO Max.
