In preview images, released ahead of the second season of the show, characters Carrie Bradshaw ( Sarah Jessica Parker ) and Aidan Shaw ( John Corbett ) are seen walking holding hands on a New York street. The first look photos, shot by Craig Blankenhorn, were shared on the television show's Instagram and Twitter accounts. "Shh. Don’t tell anyone," the HBO show captioned the photos.

A love interest of journalist protagonist Carrie's, he is a furniture maker, who first appeared in season three of the long-running series in 2000.

In August, US publication Deadline reported Aidan was set to return, though HBO declined to comment on the casting. However, speaking to the New York Post in April 2021, Corbett said: "I’m going to do the show. I think I might be in quite a few [episodes]." In the first series of the HBO spin-off, Carrie and her friends, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) are continuing to live in New York, facing the "complicated reality of life and friendship in their fifties". The series was first aired in December 2021. Spoiler alert. Carrie's husband Big (Chris Noth) died after suffering a heart attack on a Peloton bike in the opening episode of the first season. The series was renewed for a second season in March last year and is expected to be released later this year, the exact date is yet to be announced.
