One of the stars of And Just Like That... has controversially claimed that 'woke culture' played a significant role in the show's unexpected cancellation. The Sex and the City revival, which premiered on HBO Max in 2021, faced mixed reviews and backlash over its handling of certain storylines.
The unnamed actor suggested that the creative team struggled to navigate modern sensitivities, leading to a disjointed narrative that alienated long-time fans. 'The pressure to be politically correct stifled the show's original spirit,' they alleged.
Fan Reactions Divided
While some viewers agreed with the assessment, others argued that the reboot's issues stemmed from poor writing rather than 'wokeness'. Social media erupted with debates about whether the show failed to balance progressive themes with the franchise's signature humour.
The Future of the Franchise
HBO Max has yet to comment on these claims or confirm if any SATC spin-offs are in development. The original series, which aired from 1998 to 2004, remains a cultural touchstone, but its recent revival has clearly struck a nerve in today's more socially conscious climate.
