Warning: This article contains Sex and the City and And Just Like That... spoilers
The Sex and the City reboot series And Just Like That... injected some much-needed frivolity and Fendi baguette bags into our lives when it landed on HBO in December 2021.
Last year, actors Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis announced they were starring in a follow-up series to their hit Nineties and Noughties drama, which ended with their respective characters settling down with Mr. Big (Carrie Bradshaw), Steve Brady (Miranda Hobbes) and Harry Goldenblatt (Charlotte York).
In the most recent series, written by Michael Patrick King, Bradshaw is seen navigating life as a single fifty-something following the death of Big, Hobbes splits from Brady to move to Los Angeles with her non-binary comedian partner Che Diaz, and York navigates parenting two children with her ever adorable partner. While Kim Cattrall declined to participate in the project, her character Samantha Jones is referred to numerous times during the reboot, and now lives in London.
While some SATC fans have praised the new show for its progressiveness, addressing issues like gender identity, racial sensitivities, sexuality and ageing head-on, others have criticised it for its sometimes clumsy attempt to push a ‘woke’ agenda. ‘We can’t just stay who we were, right? There are more important issues in the world,’ Hobbes tells her human rights law professor in one of the earlier episodes.

In true SATC fashion, its wardrobe didn’t disappoint. Fans have been treated to larger-than-life tangerine Valentino SS19 couture gowns, a traditional maroon lehenga by Falguni and Shane Peacock and a powder blue bodycon Norma Kamali dress that was almost identical (if not for the colour) to Carrie’s black mini dress in the second season of Sex and the City.
However, the reboot hasn’t been without its controversy, not only for Cattrall's refusal to take part, but also with scenes involving actor Chris Noth (Mr Big) being removed as a result of allegations of sexual misconduct coming out soon after episode one of AJLT… aired. Noth has denied all the accusations.
If you’re wondering how to fill that AJLT… hole left in your life after season one ended, fear not as it’s rumoured that a second season might be on the cards.
Grab your tutu skirts and Manolo Blahniks and read on to find out everything we know about the rumoured AJLT… season two:
Has And Just Like That…season two been confirmed?
Technically, no. The 10-episode first season came to a conclusion on February 3, 2022, but there are several hints flying around from actors and producers that fans could be treated to a second, 10-part season.
A source recently told Page Six, ‘The creative conversations haven’t happened yet, but everyone is feeling good about the show.’
Meanwhile, HBO and HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys told Vulture last year that a second season was ‘certainly a conversation we’ll have—for sure. But we haven’t decided anything or done anything.
‘I’m going to leave it up to these guys to figure out what they want to do, but I’m very happy with what they’ve done. I will tell you, it’s kind of what you want in a show like this. It really does feel like you’re picking up with old friends and haven’t missed a beat,’ he added.

Actor Sarita Choudhury, who plays real estate agent Seema Patel in AJLT… season one, told Entertainment Tonight that she’s holding out for 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,” And also, I was thinking, you know when you bring in new characters and you just start establishing and everyone's getting used to all of us having grown up, Carrie's grown up.
‘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.’
As for Parker, she recently appeared on What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and cryptically spoke about John Corbett’s character Aidan Shaw’s role in a follow up series.
'Having said that, I think he would be … well I'm not gonna — I mean, yes, all of it is possible... All of it is possible,' she said of Shaw’s return for series two.
Could Kim Cattrall make an appearance in And Just Like That… season two?
We have a feeling the answer is probably ‘no’, but never say 'never'.
When asked whether Cattrall could appear in a future season, if it was to be commissioned, Bloys said: ‘I don’t think [she’d return]. I think they handled it really sensitively and really well. I don’t expect to have those conversations.’
While Cattrall has not commented on the reboot, several of the show’s actors have touched on her absence in interviews. In the opening scenes of season one, Parker, Hobbes and York Goldenblatt tell character Bitsy von Muffling that Jones is living in London ‘for work’, and later touch on how the move came as a result of a dispute with the trio.

Discussing how Jones is dealt with in the show, Nixon recently told us: ‘I really love it, I think it's great - the way we address it, head on.'
‘We reveal that there are layers to it. There’s what you tell casual acquaintances is the situation, and then when you're left alone and discuss it amongst yourselves, we get to a deeper level of sadness and confusion about it. We love this character, and we want to show great respect for her.’
When would And Just Like That… season two be released?
Given that a second season hasn’t even been commissioned, we highly doubt that – if confirmed – it would arrive on our screens this year.
Parker, Nixon and Davis announced season one was in the works on January 11, 2021. Filming for the season ended on November 8.

As a result, we have a feeling that if a second season does end up being on the cards, it’s likely we’d see be treated to it in mid to late 2023.
What would happen in the And Just Like That… season two plot?
Your guess is as good as ours, but it’s likely season one just touched on the surface of the protagonist’s complex relationships.
If we could dream up the second season, Patel and club owner Z, who began dating at the end of season one, would still be together (yet enjoying the occasional open relationship jaunt) and taking over the New York City social scene, one Old Fashioned at a time.
Despite enjoying a passionate kiss with her podcast producer Franklyn (Ivan Hernandez), Bradshaw would be back on the dating scene and writing yet another book, while York Goldenblatt and her husband would be loved-up as ever and coming to terms with their daughters’ beginning to date.

Diaz and Hobbes will likely have split up, given the comedian’s admission that they don’t want to follow conventional dating tropes, while Brady (Steve, not his and Hobbes’ teenage son, FYI) will be in a relationship with a younger bar tender in Brooklyn and still enjoying his movie nights and ice cream toppings.
Is there an And Just Like That… season two trailer?
No, and given that the second season is only rumoured to be in the works, we doubt we’ll be seeing one for a long time if it does receive the green light.
We will continue updating this article as more information comes in.
