Grab a drink, stat, because you’re going to want to celebrate this news! And Just Like That, which premiered in December 2021, will be back on your television screen. On Tuesday, March 22, HBO Max confirmed the series would be back for a second season.
“I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters — played by these powerful, amazing actors. The fact is, we’re all thrilled. And Just like That… our Sex life is back,” executive producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement obtained by Deadline.
Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content at HBO Max, gushed, “We have been delighted by 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 Michael 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’s in store for season 2!”
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon all reprised their roles from Sex and the City, which aired from 1998 to 2004. However, Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones, made it clear she did not want to return after she feuded with her costars.
In the season finale, Miranda (Nixon) found love with Che (Sara Ramirez), Carrie (Parker) seems to be dating someone that works on her podcast, while Charlotte (Davis) threw a bat mitzvah … for herself.
When asked if the series was going to come back again, Nixon wasn’t positive.
“Even though I’m an executive producer and I got to direct an episode, I am not a writer. And so, that is one of the great privileges of being a writer, that it’s not my job to figure it out, thank god,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight when asked about the fate of the series. “You know, it’s my job to say that doesn’t seem right for my character. But in terms of the amazing writers, we have [been] dreaming things up. They know much better than I do.”
But Sarita Choudhury, who plays Seema Patel, was interested in continuing the story.
“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,” she spilled. “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.”
And just like that, we can hardly wait!
