Cynthia Nixon is standing by her “Sex and the City” character Miranda Hobbes’ arc in the chaotic reboot “And Just Like That” — despite how bewildering some fans found it. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the actress explained that despite the fact that the show’s viewers “were so horrified by [Miranda’s] sadness and alcoholism and awkwardness at trying to become a woke person at this advanced age,” that was what she appreciated most about the character. While Hobbes underwent several personal shifts in the reboot of the iconic 6 Season HBO drama, the most contentious point for audiences was her relationship with comedian Che Diaz, whom she left her husband, Steve Brady, for in Season 1.
In the original series, Hobbes, a lawyer, met Brady, a bartender, in Season 2, then broke up, ultimately got back together, got married, and welcomed a child, Brady Hobbes, by the show’s end. Nixon also spoke of how she was swayed to reprise the role of Hobbes in the reboot to begin with. The show debuted in Jan. 2022 and has run for three subsequent seasons.
Season 4 premiered on Sunday on HBO and HBO Max. Despite the success of “The Gilded Age,” though, Nixon noted that “Miranda seems to eclipse everything else” she’s done, even 22 years after “Sex and the City” finished airing in 2004.
