The following contains major spoilers for Season 1 of “And Just Like That.”
Sarah Jessica Parker revealed she hasn’t spoken with her “And Just Like That” co-star Chris Noth since sexual assault allegations came out against him. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in May, Parker was asked for her reaction to the news, especially given her involvement as a series producer. Parker seemed at a loss for words, saying in response, “I don’t even know if I’m ready to talk about it, but I don’t think … I wasn’t reacting as a producer.” She added before trailing off, “I should have worked on this because I’m just … it’s just …”
Despite wide speculation otherwise, The New York Post confirmed that “And Just Like That” was returning for a Season 2. Given its high streaming numbers on HBO Max, that isn’t exactly shocking, especially given Noth’s character’s fate in Season 1 — after all, Noth’s Mr. Big died from a heart attack in the first episode of the series, per Variety. After allegations were levied against the actor after the series premiere, Variety reported that HBO decided to also cut Noth out of the Season 1 finale. And just like that, the “Sex and the City” spin-off will go on without Noth in Season 2.
