And Just Like That... continues the story of the beloved 90s comedy-drama series Sex and the City. The original show was based on Candace Bushnell's popular newspaper column and her 1996 book.
It sees original stars Parker, Nixon, and Davis reprise their iconic roles as Carrie, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt, respectively, 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, dealing with children, romance and their careers.
