Just Like That: Preston And Emerson Celebrate New Season

Image Snapshots From The Celebration

Carrie Preston took to Instagram this week to share a series of festive photos with fellow actor Michael Emerson, marking the long-awaited return of the Max series And Just Like That… in its second season. In the first image, Preston smiles brightly in a sequin-embellished black top and high-waisted trousers, while Emerson leans in close, champagne flute in hand. The next shot captures the pair mid-toast, their gleeful expressions reflecting the warmth of the evening. A third frame zooms in on their clinking glasses, bubbles rising in crystal flutes. Finally, a candid portrait shows them arm in arm against a softly lit backdrop, the glow of anticipation for the new episodes clear on their faces.

Career Spotlights

Carrie Preston is no stranger to celebratory posts. The Georgia-born actress earned Emmy recognition for her turn as quirky lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni on The Good Wife, then reprised the role on its spinoff, The Good Fight. Her résumé spans horror (True Blood), comedy (Clueless), and stage work—she holds an MFA from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Michael Emerson, meanwhile, rose to prominence as the enigmatic Benjamin Linus on Lost and later as reclusive tech genius Harold Finch on Person of Interest. Both actors have built devoted fan bases by choosing memorable, unconventional characters.

Inside ‘just Like That’ Season 2

And Just Like That…, the HBO Max revival of Sex and the City, premiered its sophomore season on June 22, 2023. The sequel follows Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) as they navigate life, friendship, and new love in New York City. Season 2 adds depth to fan-favorite storylines while introducing fresh faces and guest stars. Though neither Preston nor Emerson appears in the series, their Instagram salute underscores the cultural buzz surrounding the show’s return. The celebratory energy reflects the broader excitement across streaming platforms as major franchises reemerge with new chapters.

Fans Weigh In On Social Media

Comments on Preston’s post poured in from fans and fellow actors alike. One user wrote, “Love seeing you two celebrate! Hope there’s more champagne and sass this season.” Another noted, “That sparkle in Carrie’s top matches the spark of the show.” Co-star Kristin Davis left clapping-hands emojis, and Person of Interest creator Jonathan Nolan added a heart. The duo’s lighthearted approach—mixing glam with genuine affection—tightened the thread connecting classic TV icons to contemporary storytelling.

Behind The Scenes On Instagram

While this celebration spotlighted And Just Like That…, Preston often uses her Instagram to share glimpses of her own projects. In a post last month, she teased her CBS series Elsbeth with the caption, “I want to be mysterious but this is who I am… #elsbeth #fashion #comedy #tvshow #meme.” That behind-the-scenes peek demonstrated her knack for blending character moments with personal style. Here, her collaboration with Emerson felt like a mutual salute to both their storied careers and the return of fan-favorite television.

Both actors seem to find genuine joy in marking milestones online, treating followers to intimate yet polished glimpses of industry celebrations. Their decision to commemorate And Just Like That… Season 2 speaks to the enduring appeal of ensemble storytelling and the power of shared memories—whether around a fictional Manhattan dinner table or in front of a smartphone camera.

Next up for Preston? She’s slated to appear in the upcoming indie film Pepper and Summer, while Emerson is reportedly attached to a new thriller series in development. But for one night, their attention was squarely on the Carrie-Charlotte-Miranda triumvirate, raising a glass to a show that continues to unite multiple generations of viewers.

Their Instagram revelry captures that perfect intersection of nostalgia and novelty: celebrating a familiar franchise’s fresh start alongside two actors whose own legacies span decades. It’s proof that when beloved talents come together—just like that—fans everywhere are ready to join the toast.
