Is Season 2 ofAnd Just Like That…happening?
HBO and HBO Max Content Chief Casey Bloys says showrunnerMichael Patrick Kingand starSarah Jessica Parkerwill be influential to whether or not theSex and the Cityrevival gets the green light for another round.
He added that he thinks there “will be” a second season, “but they’re talking and making sure they want to jump in.”
“It’s a big commitment, and they’ll come to us and let us know what they’re thinking but I’m feeling good about it,” said Bloys.
The first season ofAnd Just Like That…, which Bloys said did “really, really well” for the streaming platform, premiered in December, with the finale airing earlier this month.
Also in his interview, Bloys addressed the absence ofChris Noth’s character, Mr. Big, after the actor was accused of sexual assault in December. While Mr. Big suffered a fatal heart attack in the season premiere, Noth wasedited out of the finaleamid the allegations.
He went on to explain why the cut was an “easy decision”, stating, “Obviously his character’s dead and we’re not having any more flashbacks to him. So that doesn’t affect a decision on season two.”
Bloys briefly spoke on ifKim Cattrallwould joinAJLT, should season two happen. Though Cattrall (who portrayed Samantha Jones) was physically absent from the 10-episode season, her character was present throughout the storyline. She and Carrie Bradshaw (Parker) communicated over text multiple times, and they connected following theshocking, sudden deathof Mr. Big (Noth).

“I don’t think [she’d return],” Bloys said of Cattrall. “I think they handled it really sensitively and really well. I don’t expect to have those conversations.”
In the meantime, while fans await a possible second season,And Just Like That… The Documentaryis now streaming on HBO Max.
The doc goes behind the scenes of the making ofAJLT, which picks up in the lives of Carrie and two of her best friends, Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis), almost two decades after the original HBO series ended.
