Sex And The City Fans Just Got Exciting News
And just like that, "And Just Like That..." has officially been renewed for a second season. That means that Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie Bradshaw, Kristin Davis, A.K.A. Charlotte York-Goldenblatt and Cynthia Nixon, who portrays Miranda Hobbes, have signed on for another season of the "Sex and the City" reboot on HBO Max (via People). Writer and showrunner Michael Patrick King shared in a statement about the good news, "I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters — played by these powerful, amazing actors. The fact is, we're all thrilled. 'And Just like That'... our Sex life is back."
The show was marred by controversy, first with Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones in the original "Sex and the City" series and two subsequent movies, declining to return. Then, Chris Noth was accused of sexual misconduct shortly after his character Mr. Big died on a Peloton, putting the company in financial jeopardy (via Newsweek).
But as Deadline reports, despite fans also questioning several storylines, including Miranda leaving her husband Steve Brady (David Eigenberg) for podcast host Che Diaz (Sara Ramírez), "And Just Like That..." was HBO Max's top-rated series premiere for new content (via SheKnows).
Fans already have demands for season 2
In addition to King announcing "And Just Like That..." will be revisiting the lives of our favorite New York City fifty-somethings for a second season, Sarah Aubrey, from HBO Max also shared a statement about the news.
"We have been delighted by the cultural conversation generated by these characters and their stories, set in a world we already know and love so much," she said. "We are proud of the work Michael Patrick King and our wonderful writers, producers, cast and crew have done to bring these stories to the screen. We can't wait for fans to see what's in store for season 2!" (via Deadline).
At time of writing, of the three women, only Nixon had teased the news on her social media, tweeting a brief trailer that showed scenes from season 1 and confirmed the show was coming back. "Hello again, lovers..." she captioned the clip. Of course, the announcement was met with a lot of excitement from fans who also shared strong opinions about what they'd like to see in season 2, from Miranda rekindling her relationship with Steve, to Carrie getting involved with the sexy producer she kissed at the end of season 1.
