HBO Max Renews ‘Sex and the City’ Update Series ‘And Just Like That …’

HBO Max has renewed “And Just Like That …” for a second season.

The series, from executive producer Michael Patrick King, alongside stars and executive producers Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, delivered the strongest debut of any Max Original series to date, according to the service.

The Max Original, the new chapter of the HBO series “Sex and the City,” follows Carrie (Parker), Miranda (Nixon) and Charlotte (Davis) as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s.
 
In addition to Parker, Nixon and Davis, season one stars Sara Ramírez, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Karen Pittman, Chris Noth, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Willie Garson and Evan Handler.
  
“I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters — played by these powerful, amazing actors,” said executive producer King in a statement. “The fact is, we’re all thrilled.”

“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,” Sarah Aubrey, HBO Max head of original content, said in a statement. “We are proud of the work 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’s in store for season two.”
 
The HBO series “Sex and the City” was created by Darren Star and was based on the book “Sex and the City” by Candace Bushnell.

HBO Max Jan. 10 announced it has given a limited series order for “And Just Like That,” a revival of the groundbreaking (1998-2004) HBO series “Sex and the City,” which starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall.

The new Max Original series is based on the book “Sex and the City” by Candice Bushnell as well as the original TV series, which was created by Darren Star and won seven Emmys and eight Golden Globes.

The new Max series will follow Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s. The 10-episode, half-hour series is scheduled to begin production in New York late spring.

“I grew up with these characters, and I can’t wait to see how their story has evolved in this new chapter, with the honesty, poignancy, humor and the beloved city that has always defined them,” Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max, said in a statement.

Noticeably missing from the reboot: Cattrall, who famously played Samantha Jones on the original series, but has long stated little desire to reprise the role.
