‘And Just like That…’ Season 2 Is Finally Here!

Season 1 of And Just Like That… gave fans so much. Sure, the storylines were kind of wacky and sometimes ceased to exist altogether, but at this point, it’s all part of the fun. AJLT viewers have collectively strong feelings about Che Diaz, groans about Carrie not calling 911 fast enough, and questions about what happened to Miranda in Cleveland ’cause the show sure as hell didn’t tell us. But when the season 1 finale aired, I couldn’t help but wonder…is this really the end of And Just Like That…? And thank god it was not. The show just returned for season 2 (literally today!) and here’s what we can expect.

Kim Cattrall is returning!!!

OKAY, OKAY, there’s much to discuss and many details about season 2 to share, which I will get into below, but the biggest news is that Kim Cattrall is returning. She notably did not appear in season 1 of the reboot, but Variety is exclusively reporting that she has one scene in the season 2 finale. It’s a phone call between her and Carrie, and she has already filmed it. This is, to put it lightly, f*cking major. But she didn’t interact with any of her fellow castmates, so feel free to drop any hopes you had of a gushy reunion with all the ladies.

Is And Just Like That… season 2 officially happening?

Yes, obviously, that’s why we’re all here! “I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters—played by these powerful, amazing actors. The fact is, we’re all thrilled. And Just Like That, our Sex life is back,” Michael Patrick King previously said in a statement, according to Deadline.

Before it was officially renewed, writer-director King and Sarah Jessica Parker revealed they were both interested in coming back, as reported by Variety. “Definitely, yeah,” said SJP, who is also an executive producer, when asked if she’d want to continue. “Michael and I spoke two weeks ago and said, ‘Okay, when are we going to talk about this?’ Because there’s a calendar and you don’t want to let too much time pass. There feels like there’s momentum.”

Sarita Choudhury, who plays Seema, also said she’d like a second season. “Just the other day, I was thinking, I wonder. Because there’s a point where they let you know if there is or not and we’re not at that point yet. I was thinking, God, I hope there is,” she told Entertainment Tonight in January. “I feel like the second [season] would be able to just jump into who they really are as opposed to getting the audience used to seeing what they’re seeing. So I would love a second season, but I really don’t know.”

And production took place months ago.

Both SJP and Sara Ramírez posted pictures of the script on their Instagrams, giving fans a glimpse into the production.

Sara even blurred out an episode name in the picture. Ironic that the social media guidelines for the show are front and center, lol.

When will season 2 come out? And where is it streaming?

Now! The first two episodes are literally out now! So if you’re not running to Max (formerly HBO Max), what are you even doing? Because the streamer changed names in late May, it makes sense that the show would be one of its first big releases after its makeover.

Curious as to what’s going to happen? You can watch the teaser below to find out! Oh, and there’s a special surprise at the end!

And if you want to try to get more Easter eggs out of the poster, here ya go:

Who is returning for season 2?

Carrie (SJP), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) are all returning, and as previously mentioned, Kim Cattrall will be there for literally one scene.

But! Another familiar face from the original show *is* coming to season 2 of AJLT… and that is Aidan Shaw (!!!!), Carrie’s old furniture-making fiancé played by John Corbett! According to an exclusive from Deadline, “Aidan Shaw will reunite with former love Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) on HBO Max’s And Just Like That…” and he is supposedly “set for a substantial, multi-episode arc on the second season of the Sex and the City follow-up.” But either way, who said manifesting wasn’t real?!

Nicole Ari Parker, aka Charlotte’s friend Lisa Todd Wexley, is also back. And we’re so glad, because we’re kind of living for this hat moment:

Sara Ramírez, Sarita Choudhury, Karen Pittman, Christopher Jackson, Evan Handler, Mario Cantone, and David Eigenberg are also all coming back.

More recently, Deadline reported that Tony Danza has been cast in a recurring role as himself (okay, iconic!). His storyline? Che’s father in the comedy series they created about their family. And tbh, we shouldn’t be shocked! After all, Che legit said in the season 1 finale, “Tony Danza is coming in to read for my father. He’s not Mexican or Irish, but he is Tony Danza.” Kay, whoever is spearheading these casting decisions deserves a *major* raise, lol.
