Like a Whack-a-Mole you can’t quite bonk into silence, And Just Like That … is coming back for another season. The Sex and the City reboot dropped a trailer filled with the show’s distinct calling cards: messy age-gap relationships, teenagers acting like adults, adults acting like teenagers, mediocre sex, great sex, men in weird ascots, and scenes that look as if they were lit by someone who has experienced the eerie glow of the afterlife. I love it!
The producers really tried to shove everything they could into these two minutes and 47 seconds, including out-of-character introductions from Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon (who, as an outspoken pro-Palestine advocate, will probably get Miranda expelled from Columbia’s authoritarian halls for wearing a shirt that looks like the Palestinian flag).
I mean, this trailer has it all — a rich woman romanticizing summer in New York, a Bat-Signal to all romantasy-obsessed readers, women eating Kentucky Fried Chicken in bed, a random man cosplaying Noah from The Notebook, an utterly mythical fashion show with spacious seating, and a horde of rats. We even get Aidan accosting Carrie at her apartment, a regular, canonical event for those in the know.
I can’t wait to cringe through another season of rebooted television.
