Good news "Sex and the City" fans! You'll get to see more of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and their pals when "And Just Like That..." returns for season 2.

HBO Max announced Tuesday that it's picked up the show for a second season. Series creator Michael Patrick King said in a statement that he's "delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters -- played by these powerful, amazing actors."

He added, "The fact is, we’re all thrilled. And Just like That… our Sex life is back."

Star and executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker took to Instagram to celebrate the news, sharing a cast photo and writing, "Thank you to our audience. Plain and simple. You are our heartbeat. We love you so."

The good news was also shared on social media by SJP's co-stars and co-executive producers Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, who play Miranda and Charlotte, respectively, to thank the fans and share their excitement.

The show hasn't been without controversy; fans of Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones were disappointed that Cattrall made good on a vow that she was done with the series and wouldn't return. Samantha remains unseen in the follow-up series, although she made plans via text to meet up with Carrie after the events of the season 1 finale.

Meanwhile, Candace Bushnell, the author who wrote the column that inspired the original series "Sex and the City," shared her thoughts about "And Just Like That..." with The New Yorker, saying some of the decisions made "really startled" her.

"I mean, Carrie Bradshaw ended up being a quirky woman who married a really rich guy. And that's not my story, or any of my friends' stories," Bushnell said. "But TV has its own logic."
