Sex and the City Fans Confused by Fake ‘And Just Like That’ Filming Signs

Fans of the HBO dramedy And Just Like That… have been left puzzled by fake filming notices scattered around New York City.

The Sex and the City reboot is currently on a break between seasons, with the second season having premiered last year on the US streaming service Max.

While audiences eagerly anticipate updates on Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), an unknown prankster has been putting up curious flyers throughout the city. These flyers describe improbable storylines supposedly being filmed for the series.

One notice humorously states, “After getting hit by a Citi Bike, Carrie retains Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) from Liar Liar as her lawyer.” Another claims, “Carrie goes on a bad date with Mr. Bean (the character) and then accidentally sends him a nude.”

A third, equally peculiar flyer mentions Carrie “telling her friends at brunch that she is Garfield the cat.”

The bizarre flyers have drawn significant attention on social media, where fans are sharing photos of them as they encounter them across the city.

So far, the mastermind behind these spoof filming notices remains unidentified. On X/Twitter, viewers of the series have expressed their confusion and amusement over the situation.

“WHO is making these fake And Just Like That… filming notices?” questioned one user.

Another joked, “New season of Sex and the City is gonna be wild.”

The third season of And Just Like That… is expected to arrive on Max in 2025. In the UK, the series is available on Sky and streaming service NOW.

The upcoming season will introduce new cast members, including Rosie O’Donnell, Mehcad Brooks, Jonathan Cake, and Logan Marshall-Green.

In a two-star review of the most recent season, Nick Hilton from The Independent commented, “When Sex and the City premiered on HBO in 1998, it was like nothing on TV. A metatextual pastiche of the newspaper advice column, it followed four friends – Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha – through the trials and tribulations of being rich, successful, and beautiful in turn-of-the-millennium New York.

“Whether the show’s candor was an exposé of its characters’ lack of self-awareness, or whether the show’s lack of self-awareness imbued its characters with a strange candor, was immaterial: it was a hit. It’s striking, then, that its reboot, And Just Like That…, seems entirely ambivalent about all the things that made its forebear great, event TV.”
