Season 4 of And Just Like That… arrives with a quiet confidence, no longer trying to outrun its past but finally standing comfortably in its present. This is a show that understands its characters have lived, lost, and learned—and now, it lets that history breathe instead of apologizing for it.
Carrie Bradshaw, still magnetic in Sarah Jessica Parker’s hands, feels more grounded than ever. Her storyline this season isn’t driven by romantic chaos alone, but by an internal reckoning: what does fulfillment really look like after reinvention? Carrie’s choices feel less impulsive, more intentional, yet no less emotionally risky.
What makes Carrie’s arc compelling is its honesty. Season 4 allows her to sit with uncertainty instead of narrating her way out of it. Love is no longer the destination—it’s a question mark, hovering beside ambition, creativity, and solitude.
Charlotte York’s world, once meticulously polished, begins to crack in the most human way possible. Kristin Davis delivers a quietly strong performance as Charlotte confronts the uncomfortable truth that perfection has limits—especially in marriage and motherhood. Her struggles feel deeply relatable, messy, and refreshingly unglamorous.
Charlotte’s arc is about control—or the loss of it. Watching her learn to loosen her grip, to accept imperfection without seeing it as failure, becomes one of the season’s most emotionally resonant threads.
Miranda Hobbes continues to be the most polarizing, yet arguably the bravest character of the series. Cynthia Nixon leans fully into Miranda’s evolution, portraying a woman who refuses to settle into an identity that no longer fits. Her choices may frustrate some viewers, but they feel undeniably real.
This season treats Miranda’s journey with more nuance and patience. Instead of forcing clarity, the writing allows discomfort, doubt, and growth to coexist—reflecting how self-discovery rarely comes with clean answers.
The friendships remain the beating heart of the show. Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda don’t just support one another—they challenge each other. Season 4 emphasizes that long-term friendship isn’t about agreement, but endurance, forgiveness, and the willingness to grow side by side, even when paths diverge.
New and returning supporting characters, including Che, continue to add friction and perspective. Their presence isn’t about replacing the original dynamic, but expanding the emotional vocabulary of the series—highlighting how friendship and love evolve in a more complex, modern world.
New York City, as always, is more than a backdrop. It reflects the characters’ inner states—vibrant, overwhelming, lonely, and alive. The city mirrors the season’s themes: change is constant, and resisting it only makes it harder.
Ultimately, And Just Like That… Season 4 is not about reclaiming youth, but redefining freedom. It’s about learning that growth doesn’t stop at a certain age—it simply becomes more honest. With warmth, wit, and emotional maturity, this season proves that the story of these women still has something meaningful to say… and just like that, it matters again.
