“I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters — played by these powerful, amazing actors,” executive producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement. “The fact is, we’re all thrilled. And Just like That… our Sex life is back.”
Added Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content, HBO Max. “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. 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!”
And Just Like That follows Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s. Kim Cattrall, who played the fourth member of the friend group on Sex and the City, did not return and her absence has been explained by having Samantha be in London. Carrie did text her a couple times during the first season. Last we saw the three women, Carrie was kissing her podcast producer, Franklyn (Ivan Hernandez), in the elevator, Charlotte had a bat mitzvah, and Miranda (again with red hair) decided to follow Che (Sara Ramírez) to Los Angeles.
The Season 1 cast also included Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Karen Pittman, Chris Noth, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Willie Garson, and Evan Handler.
Joining King, Parker, Davis, and Nixon as executive producers on the first season were Julie Rottenberg, Elisa Zuritsky, and John Melfi. Writers included King, Samantha Irby, Rachna Fruchbom, Keli Goff, Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky. Directors included King, Gillian Robespierre, Cynthia Nixon, Anu Valia and Nisha Ganatra. The original HBO series was created by Darren Star and based on Candace Bushnell’s book Sex and the City.
