And Just Like That: The legacy of love, friendship, and city life continues
Fans of the iconic S*x and the City series were elated when the news of the second season was announced. And Just Like That picks up several years after the events of the original series and its sequels, exploring the lives of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon). The characters will now be seen navigating the complexities of middle age, relationships, and the evolving landscape of New York city.
While the movies saw the lead characters settle down - Carrie with Mr. Big, Miranda with Steve Brady, and Charlotte with Harry Goldenblatt - the series resumes after Mr. Big passes and Bradshaw is left to make something out of her life. Meanwhile, York brings up her children with her significant other, and Hobbes has moved in with her non-binary partner, Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez), who is also a comedian in the city.
In case readers were wondering about Kim Cattrall, Samantha Jones shifts to London and is referred to numerable times throughout the show.
