## Summary

Cynthia Nixon has defended Miranda Hobbes’ storyline in the “Sex and the City” reboot “And Just Like That”, saying she loved the character’s awkward attempts to become more socially aware later in life. She said viewers were horrified by Miranda’s sadness and alcoholism, but valued the chance to take the character in unexpected directions.

Miranda left her husband, Steve, for comedian Che Diaz in the first season; in the original series, she and Steve reunited, married and had a child. Nixon said she agreed to return because the reboot could address the original show’s lack of diversity, but was unprepared for its cancellation before a fourth season. She added that Miranda still tends to overshadow her other work, including her role in HBO’s “The Gilded Age”.
