Everything We Know About 'And Just Like That...' Season 2

L'OFFICIEL Ibiza breaks down cast updates, potential plot lines, and more information about the second season of the Sex and the City reboot. 

Just like that season 2

When four best friends Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Charlotte York, and Miranda Hobbes appeared on screen in 1998, they charmed audiences with their genuine friendships, their unique fashion senses, and their candid brunch conversations. The Sex and the City leading ladies charmed audiences so much so that decades later, HBO Max decided to reboot the show. And Just Like That... three out of four of the audience's favorite characters were back to reprise their iconic roles and take on the city once again. 

And they're not done just yet. Earlier this year, it was announced that the reboot was renewed for a second season. Sarah Jessica Parker, the Manolo Blahnik wearer, the Cosmopolitan drinker, and the relationships writer protagonist echoed the news with a cast photo on Instagram. Beginning her caption, she wrote, "Season 2." She continued, "Thank you to our audience. Plain and simple. You are our heartbeat. We love you so. X, SJ."​​

In honor of some exciting news (keep reading!), L'OFFICIEL shares everything we know about Season 2. 

 

The Cast

Don't worry, Carrie, Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) aren't going anywhere. According to Deadline, the three leads will reprise their roles. New York's favorite cringy comedian Che Diaz (Sara Ramírez) and the fashionable Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) will also be returning for the upcoming season. 

While fans had hoped that Kim Cattrall, who played the openly sensual and confident Samantha Jones, would decide to hop on the AJLT train, it seems it just isn't in the cards—and especially after Cattrall and Parker's public feud. In May, Cattrall told Variety, “It’s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough.” She continued, “I also didn’t want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear.”

Parker has also previously commented on Cattrall's potential return. According to an interview with Deadline, Parker said she doesn't think she would be OK with her returning and that "there’s just too much public history of feelings on her part that she’s shared.”

But there's good news for fans of the original show. John Corbett is reportedly joining the cast for the second season. Corbett played Bradshaw's former flame, Aidan Shaw, in the original series. Their relationship cut a chord with many audience members resulting in the Mr. Big versus Aidan debate.

 

The Plot

As per usual, not a lot is yet known, but Season 1 left plenty of room for plot developments. One of Bradshaw's finale scenes ended the way most rom-coms do—an unexpected, but butterfly-inducing kiss. Her next romantic escapade? Given that the elevator season finale kiss was with Franklyn (Ivan Hernandez), a podcast producer, I'd say he's a top contender. But with Corbett's potential return, there could be something else in the works. And aside from her love life, she has a new podcast. So, here's hoping for more Carrie content. 

As for Miranda Hobbes, the conventional and rational redhead—although, she did stay true to her roots and embrace the gray hair this season, until the very end, that is—does exactly the thing that her younger self would never do. She decides to follow Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) to Hollywood in pursuit of this new love. Season 2 will surely show Miranda navigating this new stance on life. 

And Charlotte York Goldenblatt? The majority of the season sees her trek through the ups and downs of parenting. The 10-episode reboot ended with a sweet sentiment though, as York takes Rock's place at the "They Mitzvah," leaving her character open to a myriad of possibilities in the next season.

 

Release Date

HBO recently confirmed that the second season of the spinoff wouldn't air until 2023, according to E! News. Filming has officially begun with Parker posting photos on her Instagram wearing an ever-so-fabulous Carrie outfit consisting of a cargo jumpsuit, a Fendi baguette anklet, and the J.W. Anderson pigeon clutch. The caption read, "First exterior. Streets of NY. X, SJ."
