A plague of mysterious filming notices for And Just Like That has invaded Manhattan, confusing fans and locals.

“AFTER GETTING HIT BY A CITIBIKE, CARRIE RETAINS FLETCHER REEDE (JIM CARREY) FROM ‘LIAR, LIAR’ AS HER LAWYER,” one reads.

“CARRIE GOES ON A BAD DATE WITH MR. BEAN (THE CHARACTER) AND THEN ACCIDENTALLY SENDS HIM A NUDE,” reads another. And then, my personal favorite,

“AT BRUNCH WITH THE GIRLS, CARRIE REVEALS THAT SHE IS GARFIELD THE CAT.”

The two prevailing theories are that these are fake, in which case the identity of the genius who made them must be kept secret with the same protectiveness as the identity of Banksy, or they’re a stealth marketing ploy created by and for the series.

My theory? They’re real. I have never seen a whole episode of the reboot, but I’ve seen plenty of Sex and The City because I’m a good little millennial, and these storylines sound par for the course to me. If anything, based on the reviews and recaps I’ve read by my colleagues, the writing has only gotten sillier in the new era. Are we forgetting that Mr. Big died on a Peloton? Are we forgetting the trainwreck that was Che Diaz? This is a ridiculous show! There’s a theory, I think started by Matt Rogers on Las Culturistas, that The Morning Show is written by 3rd graders as a class project. If that’s true, I think And Just Like That is what their teacher writes when she gets home and needs to feel like an adult.

Season 3 started filming this summer and will debut in 2025. I hope to see Mr. Bean!
