And just like that, Sex and the City – the cult romantic comedy show that explored the sex lives of single women in their thirties as they dated their way around New York City throughout the early Noughties – has been renewed for a third season.
Meeting with mixed reviews, the first season of And Just Like That… first aired in December 2021, following Sex and the City’s central characters Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York (Kristen Davis) as fifty-somethings. Along with exploring a complex new slate of issues, including Carrie’s grief following the sudden death of Mr Big, Miranda’s sexuality being thrown into question by a new romance, and Charlotte struggling to support her child Rock as they come out as non-binary, it often felt worlds apart from the original source material. A second season is currently airing; in a review, we called it “rudderless and disjointed” but celebrated the sillier aspects of the show.
