CARRIE Bradshaw and her best friends Charlotte York Goldenblatt and Miranda Hobbes came back to the lives of fans in their reboot, And Just Like That, revealing that nothing much has changed between them.
With new characters and fresh storylines, the series’ first season concluded on February 3 with its 10th episode.
And Just Like That: Will there be a season 2?
HBO Max has yet to reveal whether there will be a second season of And Just Like That.
However, executive producer Michael Patrick King has alluded to the idea of a second season in an interview with Variety, and it appears to be a strong possibility.
King said: “We did something that was hard to do, which is we took something familiar and did make it new, for better and for worse.”
In the same interview, the show’s front runner Sarah Jessica Parker said that if they did make a second season, she was interested in being part of it.
“Michael and I spoke two weeks ago, and said: ‘OK, when are we going to talk about this?’” Parker said in the interview. “Because there’s a calendar and you don’t want to let too much time pass. There feels like there’s momentum.”
Meanwhile, Casey Bloys, HBO’s chief content officer and HBO Max’s president, praised the show as the streaming service’s most popular series to date, fueling speculation of a second season.
“In terms of viewership, it’s been phenomenal. I couldn’t be happier with how it’s doing in terms of reception,” he said.
Will Kim Cattrall come back for season 2?
In his interview with Variety, King said that the door for Kim Cattrall – who played Samantha Jones in the original Sex and the City films and series – is closed.
“…there was no thought that Kim would ever participate in And Just Like That because she’s said what she had said.
“The only place I participate in magical thinking is in fiction.
“You take people at their word, and you’re a smart producer — you don’t back yourself into a corner.
“Magically thinking, it’s great to have Samantha. I have no realistic expectation of Kim Cattrall ever appearing again.”
Who would be in the season 2 cast of And Just Like That?
Because she’s the leading lady, it is expected that Parker will return to reprise her role as Carrie Bradshaw in a potential second season of And Just Like That.
Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon would also likely return to their roles as Carrie’s best friends Charlotte and Miranda, respectively.
Anthony Marentino, played by Mario Cantone, the women’s close friend who is now divorced and unmarried, is also expected to return.
Evan Handler will reprise his role as Charlotte’s husband Harry, Alexa Swinton will reprise her role as their child Rock Goldenblatt, and Cathy Ang will reprise her role as their daughter Lily Goldenblatt.
Niall Cunningham will also likely reprise his role as Miranda’s son Brady Hobbes, with Cree Cicchino reprising his role as his girlfriend Luisa.
Newcomers to the series Sarita Choudhury as Seema Patel, Nicole Ari Parker as Lisa Todd Wexley, Karen Pittman as Dr Nya Wallace, and Sara Ramirez as Che Diaz are also likely to reappear in And Just Like That if a second season of the series is confirmed.
