And just like that, HBO Max’s hit series starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis wrapped filming its second season on Tuesday — shooting the final scenes right here on the Upper East Side, where the production and its stars have been spotted repeatedly since last fall, Upper East Site has learned.
Tuesday afternoon’s ‘And Just Like That’ shoot at Nardos Design on Madison Avenue would feature Kristin Davis in character as Charlotte York, walking into high-end women’s boutique located near the corner of East 68th Street, with Nicole Ari Parker, who plays Lisa Todd Wexley, Charlotte’s only black friend in a storyline from the show’s first season.
Crew members revealed to Upper East Site that Tuesday‘s filming on the UES would be the production’s last — and that both Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon, who portray Carrie Bradshaw and Miranda Hobbes, respectively, had already completed their scenes for the second season of ‘And Just Like That,’ the popular revival of HBO’s ‘Sex and the City.’
Outside Nardos, extras were staged nearby along Madison Avenue in their finest duds — trying to look part as shoppers and pedestrians— and were instructed to carry their bags on the side of their body opposite the storefront, so it wouldn’t be facing the camera while shooting.
At one point a ‘safety’ meeting was called during the shoot, which could be heard over the crew’s radios, describing how the dresses inside Nardos Design — which cost as much as $5,000 each — belonged to the boutique and that the production staff needed to be mindful of that because ‘you break it, you bought it.’
Earlier this month, Upper East Site spotted SJP herself filming ‘And Just Like That’ at Lexington Candy Shop, the iconic old school luncheonette located at the corner of East 83rd Street and Lexington Avenue. Also on set that day was Sara Ramirez, who portrays Che Diaz, Miranda Hobbes’ new love interest.
The last time Nixon was spotted on the UES was last November, when she was seen sitting in a chair on set, waiting to film scenes on Madison Avenue as Miranda. Parker was also there that day, seen standing in front of gourmet grocer Marche Madison near the corner of East 74th Street.
‘And Just Like That’ is expected to return to HBO Max this summer, however, a premiere date has not yet been yet.
