And Just Like That S2: Actress Responds To Fans’ Negative Reactions

Nicole Ari Parker, the actress of the series “And Just Like That,” has responded to the negative reactions from fans towards the show. 

The sequel to “Sex and the City” received mixed reviews from longtime fans, with criticism directed at creative choices and the absence of Kim Cattrall’s character, Samantha Jones. 

However, Parker believes that strong, negative fan reactions are just as important as positive ones because it shows that people are watching.

Parker acknowledges that fans have a right to be upset, comparing the show’s fanbase to a family that becomes upset when beloved members break up. 

She believes that viewers will continue to tune in and learn something from the show, challenging them to see beyond a one-dimensional perspective and understand the complexities of relationships.

As the show prepares for its second season, creator Michael Patrick King has made the controversial decision to bring back Aidan Shaw, Carrie’s ex-boyfriend, for a significant storyline. This choice has further fueled speculation and anticipation among viewers.

Although fans were disappointed by the absence of Samantha Jones in the first season, there is some excitement as Kim Cattrall is set to make a cameo appearance in the second season finale.

Parker believes that it is essential to provoke discussion and engage viewers, even if it means stirring up strong emotions.

With its diverse cast and authentic portrayal of women in their fifties, the show aims to reflect the realities of life and friendships while combining the ‘beauty with brain’ that made its prequel popular.
