  • The 'Sex and the City' spin-off, 'And Just Like That', was widely criticised and cancelled last year after two series due to low viewership numbers.
  • Showrunner Michael Patrick King believes the show will 'age well', comparing its initial reception to Lisa Kudrow's 'The Comeback', which gained relevance over time.
  • King argues that 'And Just Like That' tackled societal expectations for 55-year-old women, similar to how the original 'Sex and the City' explored issues for 35-year-olds.
  • Chris Noth, who played Mr Big, commented he felt 'very lucky' not to have had a larger role in the series, following sexual assault accusations against him.
  • Kim Cattrall, who declined to return as Samantha Jones, made a brief cameo in the series two finale, filmed separately from the main cast.
