‘And Just Like That…’ Season 2: Everything We Know So Far
[ad_1]
Carrie Bradshaw and the girls are convening around the brunch table once more for the second season of And Just Like That…, HBO Max’s Sex and the City revival. The often divisive series from executive producer Michael Patrick King reunites Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis as three of the four fabulous friends (so long, Samantha) viewers loved and sometimes loathed in the original series and subsequent films. A first trailer for the new season, which will debut on what was formerly known as HBO Max (come May 23, it’ll be just Max), teases twists amongst the expected collision of cosmos, Manolo Blahniks, and SJP voiceovers.
Ahead, a preview of everything that’s been revealed about the next chapter of And Just Like That…, including what—exactly—is happening with Aidan Shaw.
Who is in And Just Like That… season two?
Returning for round two are Parker, Nixon, and Davis, alongside Karen Pittman as Dr. Nya Wallace, Nicole Ari Parker as Lisa Todd Wexley, Sarita Choudhury as Seema Patel, and Sara Ramírez as the oft-memed Che Diaz. Miranda’s estranged husband, Steve (David Eigenberg), is back to nurse his broken heart, perhaps with his (former, current?) fellow bar owner Aidan Shaw, played by a returning John Corbett. (More on that below.)
Also set to reprise their roles are Mario Cantone as sometimes Samantha surrogate Anthony, Evan Handler as Charlotte’s husband, Harry, Christopher Jackson as Lisa’s husband, Herbert, and Niall Cunningham as Miranda’s son, Brady, as well as Cathy Ang and Alexa Swinton as Charlotte’s children, Lily and Rock, respectively. Candice Bergen, who played Carrie’s ruthless Vogue editor Enid Frick in the original series, is reentering the fold as well. New guest stars include feminist activist Gloria Steinem and Sam Smith, who teased their presence on set back in February via Instagram.
What will And Just Like That… season two be about?
What can viewers expect from the upcoming season? The show is doubling down on Che Diaz, no matter how you feel about them breaking up Miranda and Steve or using something called a “Woke Moment” button. “One of my burning passions about season two is Che,” show creator Michael Patrick King previously told Variety. “I want to show the dimension of Che that people didn’t see, for whatever reason—because they were blinded, out of fear or terror. I want to show more of Che rather than less of Che. Like, really.” The last we saw of Che, they were headed to California for pilot season—and Miranda was hopping on a flight to join them.
Meanwhile, Carrie is blossoming (outlandishly large flower ensemble included) in her single era after kissing her hot podcast producer, played by Ivan Hernandez. And from the looks of the first trailer, there’s a lot more canoodling where that came from. But she may not be done with the past just yet. In addition to the return of Aidan, Parker was spotted filming scenes in her iconic Vivienne Westwood wedding gown from the first SATC film. Whether this callback is part of a dream sequence or a cry for help remains to be seen.
As for Charlotte, in the season one finale she had her own bat mitzvah when her child Rock’s “they mitzvah” crashed and burned. In addition to scandal involving a “MILF list” at her children’s school as seen in the first trailer, Charlotte will further be exploring her youngest child’s gender identity, Davis told reporters at a press junket attended by Vanity Fair during season one. As for her elder child Lily, the show’s “Last Supper”–esque poster suggests she and Brady could be a thing, which is certainly better than the rumored alternative should Kim Cattrall had been involved.
