In late December 2021, there were rumors that the Chris Noth sexual assault allegations would potentially derail a sophomore season. According to an unnamed source who spoke with Us Weekly at the time, "There was talk about doing another season, but after the past few days, all those conversations have stopped. Everyone is raw."

But since Chris Noth's Big is no longer a character in the series (his presence was even cut out of the finale following the allegations), it appears that writer-director Michael Patrick King and Sarah Jessica Parker did some rethinking.

Cynthia Nixon, SJP, and Kristin Davis also all released identical statements condemning Chris Noth, "We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth. We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it."

Season 2 of And Just Like That will be streaming on HBO Max in June.
