We’re anxiously awaiting anything and everything to do with the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That…, so it’s no surprise that we’re very excited for the news that broke today.
Grey’s Anatomy star Sara Ramirez has joined the cast of the reboot.
“Everyone at And Just Like That… is beyond thrilled that a dynamically talented actor such as Sara Ramírez has joined the ‘Sex and the City’ family. Sara is a one-of-a-kind talent, equally at home with comedy and drama – and we feel excited and inspired to create this new character for the show.” Executive Producer Michael Patrick King said.
Ramirez stars as “Che Diaz” (they / them), a non-binary, queer, stand-up comedian that hosts a podcast on which Carrie Bradshaw is regularly featured. Che is a big presence with a big heart whose outrageous sense of humor and progressive, human overview of gender roles has made them and their podcast very popular.
