Sarah Jessica Parker teases John Corbett’s return to ‘And Just Like That’

This is bigger than Big.

Sarah Jessica Parker has teased John Corbett’s long-awaited return to “And Just Like That.”

The show follows Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt navigating NYC life in their 50s, without Samantha Jones and Mr. Big, who died in the show’s first episode.

In a joint Instagram post with the reboot’s official account, SJP — who plays hopeless romantic Carrie in the “Sex and the City” spinoff — can be seen strutting down the streets of NYC with her former on-screen love, Corbett — who plays Aidan Shaw.

“Shh. Don’t tell anyone,” the caption reads.

The pair are notably holding hands, hinting at a possible rekindling of romance between their characters.

Carrie and Aidan share an extensive history in the original show, which was later revisited in the second “Sex and the City” movie, released in 2010.

Last year, Entertainment Tonight reported that SJP finally confirmed Corbett would be coming back to reboot for its second season.

The confirmation saw fans breathe a collective sigh of relief after Corbett lied about appearing in the spinoff’s first season in an April 2021 interview with Page Six.

“I’m going to do the show,” he told us at the time, claiming he was “very excited” and would be in “quite a few” episodes.

It soon turned out that Corbett’s character did not actually appear in the reboot, leaving many fans disappointed and angry at the casual remark.

The HBO Max series stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis — and the much-buzzed-about absence of original series star Kim Cattrall.

Showrunner Michael Patrick King revealed to Variety the storyline of season 2 will feature the dearly missed PR guru.

King — who previously said the door isn’t open for Cattrall’s return — was asked last year if fans can expect to see Samantha’s back in the upcoming season, to which he answered, “Yes.”

While he chose to not divulge further, he did add that his goal “is to bring all the characters into the mix together so that they’re not so much on separate runways.”

“And Just Like That” also added several new big names to the “SATC” world, including Sara Ramírez, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, and Karen Pittman. 

Season 1 ended with Miranda leaving NYC and moving to LA for Che Diaz. Meanwhile, Carrie shared a kiss with her handsome co-worker Franklyn (Ivan Hernandez).

In March, HBO Max announced the reboot was renewed for a second season.

Hannah Waddingham Is a Hot Witch Mommy In ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ And I’m Living For It

All respect to Bette Midler—who is obviously an icon/legend/treasure forever—but the best witch in Hocus Pocus 2 is Hannah Waddingham. Like, it’s not even close. No hard feelings, Sanderson sisters. It’s just that Waddingham’s “Mother Witch” is objectively perfect.

The Ted Lasso star has just one scene in the Hocus Pocus sequel, which was released on Disney+ on Friday. But it’s arguably the best scene in the movie. The year is 1653, and the young Sanderson sisters (played by Taylor Paige Henderson, Nina Kitchen, and Juju Journey Brener) have just been exiled from Salem, thanks to some patriarchal bullcrap. They’re lost in woods, with nowhere to go, when suddenly… a witch descends upon them!

This witch—who transforms from a bird that sounds like a crow but looks like a parrot—is played by none other than Rebecca Welton herself, aka everyone’s favorite HBIC from Ted Lasso. And friends, if you thought Waddingham was hot as Rebecca, you are not ready for this seductive, spooky sorceress.

Known only as “Mother Witch,” (yes, mommy!), she arrives just in time to empower the young Sandersons—literally, with a book of powerful spells.  Mother Witch dons a long, luxurious velvet cape, adorned with a feather fringe, and clasped at the neck with a gold medallion. Her dress is a red, flowy number with a mysterious eye embroidered on the front, and a neckline low enough to show off her frankly impressive cleavage. (Do they give out cleavage Emmys? Because if so, Waddingham has my vote.)

And don’t get me started on that flowing, witchy hair—Waddingham is going to have folks begging their colorist for silver locks in droves. But the best part? Her absolutely flawless brow and eye make-up, with wings sharp enough to kill a man, accentuated by sparkly face rhinestones. Costume designer Salvador Perez has really outdone himself with this one.

None of the above would work if Waddingham weren’t also delivering an Oscar-worthy performance in her five minutes of screentime. From the moment she enters, she commands the screen with unquestionable authority. She delivers her lines with a theater-trained Shakesperean lilt, no doubt thanks to her background as a West End and Broadway singer and actress. (Why the heck didn’t Hocus Pocus 2 give Waddingham a musical number? C’mon!)

That said, she doesn’t take it too seriously, either. When a young Winnie is surprised that Mother Witch knows it’s her birthday, Waddingham quips, “I’m a witch. I know things,” leaving no room for argument. Though our time with her is too short, perhaps we’ll see more of Mother Witch in Hocus Pocus 3.

And god bless Mother Witch for dropping her beauty regime—eating children, of course. How else does one stay young and ridiculously beautiful?

Do You Have to Pay to Watch ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ on Disney Plus?

While Hocus Pocus wasn’t an instant hit when it premiered in 1993, over the years, the family-friendly film has become a beloved cult classic. And now, just in time for Halloween, the Sanderson sisters will make their return in a sequel, premiering September 30 via Disney+.

The new film stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy reprising their roles as the trio of villainous witches, and has debuted to lukewarm critical reception. IndieWire dubbed the film “totally satisfactory,” The A.V. Club said it “could have been so much worse,” and Forbes writes that it’s “exactly as bad” as its predecessor (which could be taken as a compliment).

Nonetheless, featuring fun musical numbers and a campy, light-hearted storyline, Hocus Pocus 2 remains a highly-anticipated sequel. Here’s everything you need to know about watching Hocus Pocus 2, what the film is about, and who is in the cast.

Do You Have to Pay to Watch Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney Plus?

No, Hocus Pocus 2 is free for Disney+ subscribers. It will not debut on the premier access tier, which saw subscribers paying extra for early access to titles, such as Raya and the Last Dragon, Black Widow, and Jungle Cruise. Subscriptions to Disney+ starts at $7.99 per month.

What is Hocus Pocus 2 About?

Hocus Pocus 2 takes place 29 years after the first film and follows the Sanderson sisters as they are resurrected in present-day Salem by three high students.

 

Who is in the Cast of Hocus Pocus 2?

Hocus Pocus 2 is led by Bette Midler as Winifred “Winnie” Sanderson, Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah Sanderson, and Kathy Najimy as Mary Sanderson, all reprising their roles from Hocus Pocus.

The cast continues with:

  • Sam Richardson as Gilbert
  • Doug Jones as Billy Butcherson
  • Hannah Waddingham as The Witch Mother
  • Whitney Peak as Becca
  • Belissa Escobedo as Izzy
