Cynthia Nixon’swifeChristine Marinoniknew theSex and the Citystar’s intimate scenes onAnd Just Like That…would be meaningful.
For starters, the scene was game-changing — and relationship-ending — for Miranda, who was married to cis, straight man Steve Brady (David Eigenberg) for nearly two decades before her romance with nonbinary comicChe Diaz(Sara Ramírez).
She continued, ‘We had an intimacy coordinator and we tried to do it different ways. Miranda, in the next episode, keeps having fantasies. And so we were going to shoot it at the same time, but make it look different, because things look different when we remember them than when they’re actually happening."

Yang, 31, told Nixon: “What I think is remarkable is that you had to sell that moment in the kitchen as life-changing. You have to believe that she’s going to rearrange everything about her life.”
Nixon responded, “And you have to feel both the sexual jolt and also the emotional breakdown that happens later, not just that this thing that happens is earth-shattering, but also that she’s been in winter for so long. It’s both of those things.”
Despite the backlash, showrunnerMichael Patrick Kingsaid therewill be more of Chein season 2.
“One of my burning passions about season 2 is Che. I want to show the dimension of Che that people didn’t see, for whatever reason — because they were blinded, out of fear or terror,” he toldVarietyearlier this month. “I want to show more of Che rather than less of Che. Like,really.”
