OTTplay Now You Know - And Just Like That

Carrie Bradshaw and the gang are back! The spin-off to the hit TV series Sex and the City features Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis reprising their roles in the comedy-drama And Just Like That…, Lets look into some trivia now.

1. Kristin Davis’s character, Charlotte, has a new pet in the series, a dog named Richard Burton, named after the popular Welsh actor. Fans of the original show will remember that her previous dog was named Elizabeth Taylor. This is in fact a nod to the fact that the real-life actors Taylor and Burton were married twice.
2. In the pilot episode of And Just Like That… eagle-eyed fans will notice DVDs of Sex & the City on a shelf in Carrie Mr.Big’s residence.
3. While most actors are not too keen on working on two simultaneous projects, Sarah Jessica Parker was not too concerned about doing double duty. She worked on And Just Like That... and Hocus Pocus 2 at the same time.
4. As a result of the hype surrounding the series, the production demanded more intricate set pieces while filming with heightened surveillance to keep the paparazzi and bystanders from leaking any potential spoilers.
5. Every child actor who essayed the roles of the children of the main characters has been replaced with new actors. Niall Cunningham replaces Joseph Pupo as Brady Hobbes. Cathy Ang replaced Alexandra Fong and Parker Fong replaced Lily York Goldenblatt, as both previous actors retired from acting. Whereas Alexa Swinton's character, Rose, was previously essayed by four different child actors.
6. Most writers take real-life inspiration while creating characters and storylines. This was the case when writer Keli Goff used her own issues surrounding infertility for the plot line involving Karen Pittman’s character, Nya. A similar storyline was also used in the original series around Kristin Davis’s character, Charlotte. The noticeable difference is the fact that Charlotte wanted to have kids whereas Nya is against the idea of having children.

Well that's the OTTplay Now You Know for today, until the next episode it's your host Nikhil signing out.
