Here’s everything we know about ‘And Just Like That…’ season 2 (but will Samantha be back?)
It was him reboot of ‘Sex and the City’, but it was also the return of the easygoing and, yes, very divine, attitude that the 90’s series put into the minds and guts of viewers around the world. ‘And Just Like That…’, with some updated feminism lessons (and others still pending) it gave us back Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte (sarah Jessica ParkerCynthia Nixon Y Kristin Davis) of adults, in the middle of the crisis of the fifties. The return had to take the form of a miniseries limited to ten episodes, which would mark a self-conclusive review of a past that was beautiful, but not always better.
In December we were able to get excited about the first episode of the miniseries, whose grand finale This week it has been seen on HBO Max from all over the planet. We receive it with feelings on the surface, because It’s been over a decade after the second ‘Sex and the City’ moviereleased in 2010, and where we last saw the characters created by Candace Bushnell.
At the end of the first season, it was revealed that this had been the biggest premiere of any Max Original series to date, so the confirmation of a season 2 has not been long in coming.
What will Season 2 of ‘And Just Like That…’ be about? Will Kim Cattrall return as Samantha? What is the premiere date for the comeback of ‘And Just Like That…’?
‘And Just Like That…’: Second season confirmed
The clues of the confirmation of a second season of ‘And Just Like That…’ begin months ago. in January, CaseyBloysdirector of original content for HBO Max, confirmed that the audience figures for the reboot they had been excellent and that he is delighted with the project. His words were: “In terms of viewership, it’s been phenomenal. I couldn’t be happier with the way it’s working out for its reception.”. Although this does not automatically imply a second season, it does open the door for the miniseries to be something more than that.
At the end of March, the great news has been given. It has been the same HBO who has issued a statement with a quote from Michael Patrick King: “I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant and bold characters, played by these powerful and incredible actresses. The fact is that we are all excited. With “And just like that…” our sex life is back”
For her part, the current Director of Original Content for HBO Max, Sarah Aubreyhas said: “We have loved the cultural conversation generated by these characters and their stories, set in a world we already know and love so much. We are proud of the work that Michael Patrick King and our wonderful writers, producers, cast and crew have done to bring these stories to the screen. We can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store for season two!”.
let’s talk about crew, synopsis, cast, and other details that end up making a continuation worthwhile.
‘And Just Like That…’: Season 2 Synopsis
With an arc that closes automatically (don’t worry, this news is without spoilers), the next installment of episodes can open in totally unpredictable directions. What they did reveal Julie Rottenberg Y Elisa Zuritskyscriptwriters, was the criterion that will guide their hand, in case of a second season: not to repeat itself.
They were saying: “The reality is that we try not to repeat. It’s a gold mine of where you can go. We like people, and [los personajes] they are all complex. Some have more flaws than others. For some, their flaws have yet to be revealed. So who knows where it might go?”
‘And Just Like That…’: Will Samantha come back? Distribution
Today, it’s hard not to be aware of the war between actress Kim Cattrall, behind the character of Samantha, and the rest of the cast and crew (and universe in general) of ‘Sex and the City’. It happens that, not having killed her in fiction, there were still fans hoping to see Samantha in the second season of the reboot. In the end, in the first she is working in London, distanced and angry with the rest of the group.
But Michael Patrick King, showrunner of ‘And Just Like That…’ and director of the ‘Sex and the City’ movies, is clear: “No. There was never any intention for Kim to be on ‘And Just Like That,’ because she said what she said. The only place I use magical thinking is in fiction. But you have to take people’s word for it, and be a smart producer… you can’t put yourself in a corner. Thinking magically, Samantha is great to have. But I have no realistic expectations that Kim Cattrall will show up again.”
‘And Just Like That…’: Season 2 release date
Despite the confirmation of a second season, it is still too early to determine a premiere date. Of course, Sarah Jessica Parker confirmed having had conversations with King, also an executive producer, about the beginning of season 2: “Michael and I talked two weeks ago and said, ‘Well, when are we going to talk about this?’ […] There is a schedule and you don’t want to let too much time go by. It feels like now is the time.” So, folks at HBO: When’s the announcement?
