I think that opening is glamorous and aspirational - all these beautiful actors coming to bed. Where do you think the opening montage falls in that spectrum? But sex on our show is either glamorous or aspirational or funny. Then it’s just like, “Oh, wait a minute, these people are all sexual.” I mean, Charlotte and Harry have a great sex life, which we always thought was so funny. And once you get Carrie having sex that’s supposedly not important, then the doors are open. So, the last thing that happened in season one was Carrie spontaneously kisses Franklyn, so then it became, “Okay, what happened when that happened?” And the first thing I thought was, like, “Sex: Carrie and Franklyn.” We literally start the with Carrie opening the bathroom door to a new sex life. As a writer, you just sort of keep going and something happens, and then you have to deal with it the next season.
I think if last season had to deal with death - and it was what we chose to do, we broke the old show to make a new show, and it was really infused with death - this season was going to be about life, and sex is such a big part of life. If Sex and the City was groundbreaking in giving women agency in their sex lives and showing that on screen, what did you want to say this season about sex on And Just Like That? Nevertheless, this new season seems to explore more modern and, in some instances, more fluid sensibilities about relationships and sex. If you put it in its context, if it was very, very sexual for 1998. I’ll be honest, it’s hard to remember just how sexually forward Sex and the City was, given how many times I’ve caught the sanitized reruns on cable over the years… In mid-June, showrunner Michael Patrick King piped in via Zoom from New York, where he spoke candidly about the significance of sex in the series and what he wanted to say about intimacy of all kinds.
