Cynthia Nixon discusses Miranda Hobbes and The Gilded Age roles

Actress Cynthia Nixon has reflected on her career, specifically contrasting her role as the optimistic Ada Forte in the historical drama The Gilded Age with her iconic character Miranda Hobbes from Sex and the City and its sequel, And Just Like That.

Nixon addressed the polarizing character arcs in the And Just Like That reboot, noting that while some viewers were horrified by Miranda’s personal shifts, she appreciated the opportunity to explore interesting and dangerous narrative directions. She also expressed a desire to address the lack of diversity in the original series, stating the goal was to make up for the fact that it was an overwhelmingly white show.

Regarding the future of the Sex and the City sequel, Nixon admitted she was caught off guard by the news that the series would not be returning for a fourth season. She continues to star in The Gilded Age, which recently premiered its fourth season.
