Sex And The City fans have been left sharply divided by the new season three trailer for the controversial spinoff And Just Like That….
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are all back in their beloved respective roles of Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes.
Jon Corbett has also returned as Carrie’s ex Aidan, a recurring role he played on the original series, winning the hearts of viewers.
Aidan featured on season two of And Just Like That… as he and Carrie attempted to reignite their old relationship, only to end up going their separate ways again.
In spite of their latest breakup, however, Aidan reappears in the new trailer, leaving a few embers of hope still glowing for their romance.
The sneak peek drew polarized reactions on social media – and diehard viewers of the original show were furious over one particularly glaring omission.

Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha Jones, one of the four main characters on Sex And The City, is still not part of And Just Like That….
After years of rumors that Kim did not get along with the rest of the original cast, she notably refused to return for the spinoff series.
Season two did feature a brief appearance by Samantha, who was shown talking to Carrie on the phone from London – meaning Kim did not film with the rest of the cast.
At the end of season two, Aidan splits from Carrie in order to live in Virginia with his children until they are all adults – a milestone about five years off.
Carrie and Aidan planned to get back together after he was able to move back to New York, and in the trailer, they make a concerted effort to keep their spark alive.
Aidan sends Carrie a postcard and can even be seen visiting her in New York, though his attempt to be romantic by tossing a stone at her window goes awry when he ends up shattering the glass and terrifying her.
Meanwhile Charlotte and her lawyer husband Henry (Evan Hander) are caught in the whirl of raising their daughters Lily (Caty Ang) and Rose (Alexa Swinton), while Miranda continues exploring her queer sexuality in New York.
When Max dropped the new preview on X, formerly Twitter, one of the top replies was: ‘And everybody was hoping to see queen Kim Cattrall in trailer’.

‘Meh…not intrigued. Sorry,’ wrote one viewer as another observed: ‘You can tell no one even cares anyomore – they ruined it so hard.’
One felt: ‘This looks miles better than the first two seasons tbh,’ but another wrote: ‘this looks even worse than the first seasons, which i didn’t think was possible.’
Another social media user was exasperated at Carrie’s love life, saying: ‘Over ten years later, it’s still up in the air with Aidan. Girl, stop!’
Season three will premiere May 29, with newly added cast members including Rosie O’Donnell and Broadway titan Patti LuPone.
There were some social media users who expressed excitement, such as one who exclaimed: ‘Sold! Can’t wait for May 29’.
