- The creator of "And Just Like That..." teased the return of Aidan in season two of the spinoff.
- "I started season two knowing I was bringing Aidan back," Michael Patrick King told EW.
The creator of "And Just Like That..." teased Carrie Bradshaw's relationship with fan-favorite Aidan in the spinoff's upcoming second season — but said that Sarah Jessica Parker's character isn't a "homewrecker."
"I personally knew I was killing Big in season one. I knew that when I started and I felt very strongly about that," Michael Patrick King told Entertainment Weekly's Nick Romano in a recent interview, referring to Mr. Big's (Chris Noth) deadly post-Peloton heart attack that left Carrie a widow.
"I started season two knowing I was bringing Aidan back, and I felt very strongly about that," King continued, adding: "How, when he shows up, what happens is all part of the great fun and puzzle of writing a series, to somehow give people what they're expecting and yet find ways to have people grow and still be that person."
Aidan (John Corbett) most recently made an appearance 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 marital status in the second season of "And Just Like That."
"I would not make Carrie Bradshaw a homewrecker. That's the biggest leak I can give you," King said, adding that both Carrie and Aidan are "open for business" when things pick up in season two.
"They're both single. You know how she's single. You don't know how Aidan's single," the creator teased.
The second season of "And Just Like That..." premieres in June on HBO Max. You can watch the trailer below.
