- The creator of “And Just Like That…” teased Aidan’s return in the second season of the spin-off.
- “I went into season two knowing that I was going to bring Aidan back,” Michael Patrick King told EW.

The creator of “And Just Like That…” mocked Carrie Bradshaw’s relationship with fan favorite aidan in the spinoff upcoming second season – but said that Sarah Jessica Parker’s character is not a “homewrecker.”
“I personally knew that I was killing Big in the first season. I knew it when I started and I felt it very strongly”, Michael Patrick King told Nick Romano of Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview, referring to Mr. Big’s (Chris Noth) fatal post-Peloton heart attack that left Carrie a widow.
“I started the second season knowing that I was bring back aidanand I felt very strongly about it,” King continued, adding: “How, when it shows up, what happens is part of the great fun and puzzle of writing a show, to somehow give people what they expect and, however, finding ways to make people grow up and still be that person.”
Aidan (John Corbett) recently appeared in the second “Sex and the City” movie, sharing a kiss with Carrie even though they were both married at the time.
According to King, he plans to address Aidan’s relationship status in the second season of “And Just Like That.”
“I wouldn’t turn Carrie Bradshaw into a homewrecker. That’s the biggest leak I can give you,” King said, adding that both Carrie and Aidan are “open to work” when things pick up in season two.
“They’re both single. You know how she’s single. You don’t know how Aidan is single,” the creator quipped.
The second season of “And Just Like That…” premieres in June on HBO Max. You can watch the trailer below.
