Actress Sara Ramírez has joined the cast of And Just Like That, the new sequel to Sex and the City.
BroadwayWorld reports that Ramírez will play Che Diaz, a non-binary Latino comic and podcaster. Diaz’s podcast will also feature frequent guest Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), and will also discuss gender and sexual fluidity.
Ramírez joins returning stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristen Davis and Cynthia Nixon in the limited series, which will catch up with the ladies of Sex and the City trying to navigate life in their fifties. The character of Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall, would not appear in the series. Cattrall has long expressed his disinterest in returning to the role.

Also note: Ramírez identifies as bisexual and not binary.
Production of And Just Like That is scheduled to begin in New York this summer. The 10-episode series will air on HBO Max, although a release date has yet to be announced.
