HBO Max has dropped the Season 2 teaser for “And Just Like That,” its successful revival of “Sex and the City.” The company also announced the show will premiere in June, without announcing the specific date yet — at that point, the streamer will simply be known as Max.
In the show’s first season, overseen by executive producer Michael Patrick King, the worlds of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) expanded, when new characters played by Nicole Ari Parker, Sarita Choudhury, Karen Pittman and Sara Ramírez were added to the ensemble.
When we last saw the group, Carrie had launched a new podcast (called “Sex and the City”) and seemed to be embarking on a new romance with her producer, Franklin (Ivan Hernandez), though John Corbett’s addition to the second season, returning as Carrie’s ex-boyfriend, may have thrown a wrench into that. Charlotte was still happily married to Harry (Evan Handler), but was coming to terms with challenges from her teenaged children. And Miranda had ditched her marriage (as well as a prestigious internship) in order go to Los Angeles with her lover, the comedian Che Diaz (Ramírez).

In the show’s finale, Carrie also made up with Samantha (Kim Cattrall), after the two estranged friends had texted all season. Cattrall’s Samantha wasn’t seen onscreen, since she didn’t participate in “And Just Like That,” but after spreading the ashes of the late Mr. Big (Chris Noth) off their bridge in Paris, Carrie texted Samantha, and the two friends made a plan to see one another.
The reaction to Season 1 of “And Just Like That” was divided, with some die-hard “Sex and the City” fans wholly enoying its resurrection, while others slammed it: The character of Che especially bore the weight of fan criticism, which Ramírez addressed in a cover story for Variety‘s Pride issue last year.
“Other people’s opinions of a character — that’s not something I can allow into my process,” they said in an interview last spring. “I choose what I receive, right? That’s the beauty of being grown — I don’t have to receive everything!”
Meanwhile, after its December 2021 premiere, “And Just Like That” was the most successful Max original series since its launch.
