And Just Like That Season 2: News, Updates, Everything We Know
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for And Just Like That's finale!
The first season of Sex and the City’s revival has come to an end, so here’s everything we know about And Just Like That season 2. One of HBO Max’s first original series, And Just Like That follows Sex and the City’s main characters a decade after the sequel films, with the women now exploring life in New York City as married 50-somethings rather than singles in their 30s. And Just Like That’s 10-episode season 1 brought back Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda, and Kristin Davis as Charlotte, with Kim Cattrall choosing not to return as Samantha Jones.
And Just Like That attempted to fix many of the original series’ shortcomings, including Sex and the City’s notable lack of diversity. With plenty of new characters joining the fray, And Just Like That’s story wasn’t just focused on the love lives and friendships of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. With all of the changes to Sex and the City’s formula, And Just Like That also grew to have a very different tone from the original, especially since episode 1 ended with the death of Carrie’s husband Mr. Big. The rest of season 1 followed Carrie’s grief, Miranda deciding she wasn’t happy in her marriage to SATC's Steve Brady, and Charlotte supporting her children in their own self-discoveries.
The finale of And Just Like That season 1 seems to set up a future for the series, with Carrie beginning her own “Sex and the City” podcast as she returns to dating, Miranda going to LA with her significant other Che, and Charlotte getting “they”mitvahed after converting to Judaism in the original series. The finale also saw Carrie and Samantha’s feud come to an end, with the two getting drinks together off-screen in Paris. With Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte likely to return for another chapter, here’s a breakdown of everything we know about And Just Like That season 2, including a possible release date and story.
HBO Max has yet to officially renew And Just Like That, but the comments from the returning Sex and the City cast, showrunner Michael Patrick King, and HBO Max representatives themselves suggest the announcement will come anytime now. And Just Like That’s finale left off ambiguously for Miranda as well as setting up a familiar lifestyle for Carrie, so the story itself doesn’t seem to be over anyway. According to Variety, HBO Max's chief content officer revealed that And Just Like That is the streaming service’s most popular original show to date, so it doesn’t seem like the service would be eager to let it go so soon. Sarah Jessica Parker explained that right after And Just Like That season 1 wrapped, she was excited to discuss moving forward with season 2. It seems the renewal of And Just Like That season 2 is a matter of working out schedules before the new season of the HBO Max original series can be officially announced.
And Just Like That season 1 was officially ordered as an HBO Max original series in January 2021, with the release date of episode 1 of the series in early December 2021. If the schedules of And Just Like That’s cast don’t conflict too much, it seems audiences can expect a little under a year after the announcement for season 2's release date. If HBO Max renews the series in February, And Just Like That season 2’s release date will likely be in late Fall 2022 or Winter 2023.
Following And Just Like That's season 1 ending, season 2 will likely see Carrie fully returning to her old SATC character by optimistically diving back into dating life, as hinted at by her third date with Peter and closing makeout session with her podcast producer. She’s also starting a podcast called "Sex and the City" where she gives advice to callers, thus getting back to the original show’s formula. And Just Like That season 2 would also reasonably explore Miranda returning from LA after Che’s TV show pilot, as well as Charlotte continuing to explore her children’s changing lives as teenagers.
