Rosie O'Donnell is seen on set of And Just Like That for FIRST TIME as she shoots late

Rosie O'Donnell was spotted filming on the set of And Just Like That... for the first time in a scene with series regular Cynthia Nixon.

On Friday, the 62-year-old comedian joined Nixon, 58, in the heart of New York City as they shot what appeared to be an emotionally moving scene in the middle of a busy crowd.

In a touching moment in Times Square, the pair were seen sharing lots of physical contact as they held hands and were later seen wrapped up in a warm embrace.

This comes as fans speculate O'Donnell's character Mary, of whom little is known currently, will be Miranda's new love interest in the upcoming third season.

As the rumored-to-be on-screen lovers filmed, Nixon's real-life wife Christine Marinoni was also spotted on set and showing her support. 

It was previously announced that O'Donnell would be joining the all-star cast in early May following reports of Karen Pittman and Sara Ramirez's exits.

Cynthia Nixon addresses the exit of 'controversial character' Che Diaz played by Sara Ramirez that 'shook everything up' on And Just Like That

In January, DailyMail.com exclusively reported Ramirez was officially dropped from the show after creators decided their divisive character Che Diaz was 'a waste of airtime' and 'annoying' fans. 

Deadline first reported that Pittman, who played Professor Nya Wallace on the Sex and the City spin-off, would be leaving her role after two seasons due to scheduling conflicts.

For her first scene, O'Donnell joined Nixon in Times Square and the pair filmed with a bag of candy in their interlocked hands. 

The official Instagram page for the reboot series also shared a photo of O'Donnell posing for a sweet snap besides Nixon.

Referencing O'Donnell's graphic T-shirt with the imagery of the critically acclaimed Broadway musical about the untold story of the witches of Oz, the caption read: 'A Wicked good night in Times Square.' 

In the snapshot, the actresses stood in the middle of a busy crowd and bright billboards but commanded attention with their radiant smiles. 

She was dressed in casual, tourist-inspired attire while Nixon, as Miranda, modeled her character's signature chic style.

As her character Mary, O'Donnell layered the Wicked T-shirt over a bright blue, long-sleeved top and donned cuffed jeans.

At a different time, when Nixon wasn't beside her wife, she was getting her makeup touched up.

On May 1, it was announced that the talk show host would be joining Nixon, SJP and Kristin Davis in the upcoming third season of AJLT. 

Since the exciting news, it has been heavily speculated that O'Donnell's character Mary would be the new love interest of Nixon's Miranda.

Last season, Miranda dated Ramirez's character Che Diaz until their split in the series and the actor was booted from the show. 

The Sex and the City reboot series was renewed for a second season last summer and production for the upcoming season began that same month. 

As filming is still ongoing, a release date for the series has not yet been announced but is expected to be released sometime in 2025.
