Carrie Bradshaw is moving on in the return of And Just Like That.
The official trailer for season two of the hit HBO sequel series to Sex and the City picks up more than one year after Big’s (Chris Noth) sudden death and sees Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) focused on moving on. Not only has she realized how to use her kitchen (“Did you know stoves aren’t just for storage?” she asks), but she’s also dating and reaching out to the former flame that viewers have been waiting for.
Toward the end of the nearly two-minute first look (below), Carrie sends Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) an email. A closer look reveals the note reads: “Hey Stranger … Remember me? IF this is still your email, it’s me — Carrie. Was just thinking about you the other day … and I wondered how you were doing. So, how ya doing?” She ends the note by saying something to the effect of hoping to hear back.
It seems Aidan gets the message, as the next scene in the trailer features the former couple at a meal together. “Sitting here with you, it’s like 10 years just— (snaps),” Aidan tells Carrie as they laugh.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Miranda’s (Cynthia Nixon) relationship deepens with Sara Ramírez’s Che, as she begins to question if she has the full story from her partner. And Charlotte (Kristin Davis) provides comic relief as she balances motherhood with her career — and some shots at the bar.
Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker and Karen Pittman return as series regulars alongside Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, Christopher Jackson, Niall Cunningham, Cathy Ang and Alexa Swinton.
One thing there is no sign of is the highly anticipated Kim Cattrall cameo, following news that the estranged star of the mega-franchise will be briefly reprising her role as Samantha. After famously opting out of returning to the series, Cattrall will appear in the season two finale after filming a top-secret cameo with limited crew and no interaction with former co-stars Parker, Nixon or Davis.
