Where was And Just Like That filmed? Filming locations of Max's latest comedy drama, explored

And Just Like That, the Sex and the City sequel series, brings Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte's stories into the new decade—but very much still in the city where they began. Fans of the show have always asked where it is filmed, and the answer is largely simple: New York City. From iconic parks to iconic neighborhoods, the show employs real-world locations to construct its world.

A lot of scenes are filmed at locations familiar to long-time fans, such as Carrie's West Village brownstone and Central Park. Some new sites are introduced as well, reflecting how the characters have evolved. Per several production sources, shooting isn't confined to Manhattan. Scenes have also been filmed in Brooklyn, on Governors Island, and in Paris.

Let's have a look at where And Just Like That was shot and how these settings assist in telling the story in every episode.

Central Park and its central role

Central Park is frequently used throughout And Just Like That. Various character moments are shot here, particularly around Bethesda Terrace and the Loeb Boathouse. These locations also appeared in the original Sex and the City series.

Smith's Bar and Restaurant is another actual venue featured on the show, continuing to anchor it in the workaday New York environment.

These venues are utilized as real elements of the characters' routines, not merely as settings.

Outside Manhattan: Brooklyn, Governors Island, and Paris

The decision to film in these real locations continues the Sex and the City tradition of having New York not just as a setting, but as part of the narrative. These locations capture the way the characters live, work, and evolve.
