'''''And Just Like That...''''' is an American comedy drama television series developed by Michael Patrick King for HBO Max. It is a revival and a sequel of the HBO television series ''Sex and the City'' created by Darren Star, which is based on Candace Bushnell's newspaper column and 1996 book anthology of the same title.

Development for the series began in December 2020, following the cancellation of a third film adaptation. It was given a straight-to-series order in January 2021 by HBO Max. Casting announcements were made throughout 2021 and filming started in July 2021 in New York City. ''And Just Like That...'' premiered on HBO Max on December 9, 2021.

The first season was billed as a one-off miniseries, and its finale was released on February 3, 2022. However, a second season was announced in March 2022; it premiered on June 22, 2023. In August 2023, the series was renewed for a third season which premiered on May 29, 2025. The final episode of the series aired on August 14, 2025 after the third season was announced to be its last the same month, expanding the season from 10 to 12 episodes, and therefore concluding the ''Sex and the City'' franchise.

The series received mixed to negative reviews, with many critics deeming it unnecessary and inferior to the original ''Sex and the City'' series.

==Overview== Set 11 years after the events of the 2010 film ''Sex and the City 2'', the women of ''Sex and the City'' make their transition from a life of liberation and friendship in their 30s to a more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s.
