The finale of And Just Like That left us in a whirlwind of emotions, and with plenty of questions about the future of the fabulous four (Yes, we’re still holding out for a Samantha return. Sue us.) 

We already know that Miranda’s divisive love interest Che will be returning for the yet-to-be-scheduled second season of the hit TV show and that Kim Cattrall’s character will still be around in the show’s new storyline. However, the return of another familiar face could throw a spanner in the works for our darling Carrie Bradshaw.

We first heard the news from Deadline, which reported that John Corbett’s Aidan Shaw will reunite with former love Bradshaw for a “substantial, multi-episode arc,” before Sarah Jessica Parker herself confirmed the news. And now, we have our first look at the pair in action in And Just Like That season two thanks to a new image shared by HBO.

Since season one of And Just Like That ended, there has been plenty of speculation over how season two will pick up the ever-changing lives of Miranda, Charlotte and Carrie. 

In the final moments of the season one finale, Carrie was seen kissing podcast producer Franklyn (played by Ivan Hernandez), a sign that she is ready to begin dating again following a period of mourning. So could Aiden’s return be her second chance at true happiness?

The pair did briefly rekindle in the film Sex and the City 2 after bumping into one another at a market in Abu Dhabi. Despite both being married, they shared a passionate kiss before Carrie ran away. Therefore, any romantic reunion so many years later will likely have to address what has happened to Aidan’s wife, Kathy, and their three children.

However, it’s certainly exciting to daydream about just what role Aidan might play in the latest series.

Season one of And Just Like That is available to watch on Sky Go and NOW
