Michael Patrick King: Last News

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the Season 2 premiere of “And Just Like That…”The long-awaited Season 2 of “And Just Like That…” premiered Thursday on Max, and the show gave one of its beloved stars a special reference in his absence.When Willie Garson died unexpectedly in September 2021 following a quiet battle with pancreatic cancer, the “Sex and the City” spinoff reworked the fourth episode to reveal that his character, Stanford Blatch, made an unexpected career move, going oversees to Tokyo to manage a TikTok star.In the new season’s premiere, Stanford and his life in Tokyo were referenced — keeping the character alive in everyone’s hearts.As Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) got her dress altered for the Met Gala, she was complimented on her silk kimono.“Oh, thank you — my friend, Stanford, sent it to me from Japan,” she replied.Garson’s final on-screen appearance in the show was in Season 1 Episode 3. In Episode 4 of the first season, he had an off-screen “appearance” with a written letter to his BFF Carrie, telling her of his departure amid the death of her husband, Mr.

was revealed in episode 10 of season two, which aired last week on Max. Garson, a memorable presence in the original “Sex and the City” series and season one of AJLT, died from cancer in September 2021 at the age of 57 — leaving producers wondering how to tie up a rather significant and sad loose end.“We didn’t want Stanford to die,” King said of the final decision during an August 17 episode of the podcast, “And Just Like That… The Writers Room.” “We wanted Willie to be alive, as Stanford, somewhere in the world.”“I would say it was a Band-Aid, it was a fast fix,” he said.

Like a disastrous first date where there’s still something there (that zsa zsa zsu, perhaps), season two of “And Just Like That…” proves that everyone deserves a second chance. In its first ten episodes, back in 2021 and 2022, the “Sex and the City” reboot was grating and clumsy, full of cringe-inducing dialogue and misguided attempts at relevancy, absent everything that made the original series a must-watch for generations of women.

Kim Cattrall, 66, will return as sultry publicist Samantha Jones in a cameo appearance on the “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That”Showrunner Michael Patrick King discussed Cattrall’s homecoming in a new interview, but played coy about Samantha’s future.“I wouldn’t even want you to know she was coming back this time, so I am not gonna say anything about Samantha in the future,” King told “Entertainment Tonight” on Tuesday.The Post learned that Cattrall filmed a “cliffhanger” scene for the series’ sophomore season, which is set to premiere Thursday on Max (formerly known as HBO Max).The scene was filmed in March in a town car in a parking garage near Silvercup Studios in Queens, where the show’s interiors are shot. One source said Cattrall’s appearance was kept so “hush-hush” that her name didn’t even appear on the call sheet.

After “Sex And The City 2” in 2010, no one expected Carrie Bradshaw and her friends to return to the small or big screens. But that’s exactly what happened in 2021 when “And Just Like That…” premiered on HBO Max (now Max), albeit without Kim Cattrall‘s Samantha Jones in tow.

Well, “Sex And The City” fans, hell has frozen over. Variety reports that Kim Cattrall will reprise her role as publicist Samantha Jones in the upcoming season of “And Just Like That…” But there are a couple of caveats to Cattrall’s return: she appears in only one scene, an over-the-phone convo with series star Sarah Jessica Parker.

the upcoming Season 2 of the Max spinoff “And Just Like That…”A spokesperson for Max — née HBO Max — exclusively confirmed her appearance to The Post.In a shocking development, sources revealed that Cattrall, 66, made a hugely “hush-hush” cameo that left no paper trail to tip off show workers beforehand — her name never even appeared on a call sheet — leaving many people stunned behind the scenes.An insider told The Post that show staffers were “definitely shocked, very intrigued on how they’re gonna write this in — and very excited,” they told The Post. “She said she’d never do it! She said she’d never come back!”Details about Cattrall’s “completely” secretive appearance are slim, but an insider claimed that her scene was filmed in March in a town car in a parking garage near Silvercup Studios in Queens, where interiors for the series are shot.
