Release Date and Streaming Platform
And Just Like That season 5 has not been officially greenlit by HBO or Max as of the latest public updates. The fourth season premiered on June 27, 2024, and concluded on August 22, 2024, airing all 10 episodes on the Max streaming service. HBO has not yet announced a premiere date for a potential fifth season, and no official renewal has been confirmed by the network or production companies.

For the latest announcements, you can check the official HBO page at hbo.com.
The show is produced by HBO Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television, with Michael Patrick King serving as creator and executive producer. Production timelines for season 5 depend on the renewal decision, cast scheduling, and the completion of post-production work for season 4. HBO typically makes renewal decisions weeks or months after a season finale airs, so a greenlight could come later in 2024 or into 2025. Max remains the primary streaming home for all new episodes, with no current plans to move the series to another platform.
Cast and Character Updates
The main cast of And Just Like That includes Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes, and Kristin Davis as Charlotte York Goldenblatt. In season 4, the characters navigate life in their 60s, dealing with retirement, relationships, and health challenges. No new main cast members have been announced for season 5, and it is unclear whether any recurring characters will return or be added. The show has also featured guest appearances by celebrities and public figures, a pattern that could continue in a future season.
Behind the scenes, Michael Patrick King continues as showrunner, and the writing team has adapted the story from the original Sex and the City source material. The cast has discussed the possibility of additional seasons in interviews, but no specific plans for season 5 have been confirmed by the actors or the network. Any casting changes would be announced through official HBO channels and covered by entertainment outlets such as Forbes and Deadline.
Plot, Themes, and Production Details
And Just Like That season 4 explored themes of aging, friendship, and reinvention, with storylines involving health scares, career shifts, and evolving romantic relationships. A potential season 5 would likely continue these themes while introducing new conflicts tied to the characters' current life stages. The series has been praised for its modern take on the original Sex and the City format, blending humor with real-life issues such as menopause, financial planning, and family dynamics. Production details for season 5, including filming locations and episode count, remain unknown until an official renewal is announced.
The show is filmed primarily in New York City, with some scenes shot on location and others on studio sets. Budget and scheduling for a fifth season would depend on the scope of the story and the availability of the cast and crew. HBO and Max have not released any official plot summaries or production timelines for season 5. Fans and industry analysts track updates through press releases, investor calls, and trusted entertainment sources such as The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
