'Sex and the City' Creator Dishes on One-Woman Show
- The show And Just Like That, continuing the narrative of Carrie Bradshaw and her friends, debuted in late 2021 and is set to premiere its third season on May 29, 2025.
- This revival follows 11 years after the last Sex and the City film and aims to portray middle-aged women's lives, reflecting studies showing 73% of midlife women remain sexually active.
- And Just Like That presents its female characters as multidimensional and sexually autonomous, contrasting with broader media where fewer than 25% of leading roles feature those over 50, mostly men.
- In the show, Carrie loses her husband Big to a heart attack, while characters like Seema, 53, affirm that seeking love later in life is not tragic, highlighting ongoing societal pressures.
- The series advances discourse on aging and visibility for women over 50, suggesting media still has significant progress to make in representing authentic, relatable stories for this demographic.
