And just like that … Charisma Carpenter might soon be starring on “And Just Like That.”

The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum, 53, had a “friendly visit” on the New York City set on May 29, a source close to the show tells Page Six, sparking speculation of her casting on HBO’s “Sex and the City” spinoff.

We’re told that Carpenter spoke with producers, crew members and series star Kristin Davis, who plays the beloved character of Charlotte York.

Our insider points out that there are typically no “AJLT” set visits without some type of appearance being discussed. 

Carpenter, for her part, raved about her day on set in an ensuing Instagram post. 

“A very cool set visit today w characters I have watched and loved for decades,” she captioned a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos. “Thanks friend! You know who you are! Xoxoxo.”

Another chimed in, “WHAAAAAATTTTTT OMG! Cannot wait to see you on the show.” 

Reps for Carpenter and HBO did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on casting speculation. 

The actress — best known for her work on “Buffy,” its spinoff “Angel,” “Charmed” and “Veronica Mars” — has long been a “Sex and the City” franchise enthusiast.

Before “And Just Like That” premiered in December 2021, Carpenter divulged that she is a big fan of Samantha Jones, the super sex-positive PR guru played by Kim Cattrall, who did not appear in Season 1 but made a cameo in its sophomore installment. 

“Samantha was (the one) sexing in the city the most. With ALL THE BEST DIALOGUE. That character dies, the show as we knew it does too,” Carpenter wrote via X (formerly Twitter) in January 2021. 

“#mytwocents,” she added.

Perhaps she manifested Cattrall’s triumphant — albeit brief — comeback, as well as her own spot on “AJLT.” 

Production for Season 3 is currently underway. 

The show made headlines last month when Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays fashionista Carrie Bradshaw, wore an odd hat that fans described as “unhinged” — and even compared to a “pillowcase” — during filming.
