The reboot And Just Like That… picks up with the women navigating their 50s following their last appearance in Sex and the City 2 in 2010. While Samantha (Kim Cattrall) may not have graced our screens this time around, the revival added an exciting batch of new faces to the cast. The kids, whom we previously saw as toddlers in the original series and movies, are all grown up in the reboot! From Lily, now a piano prodigy, and her younger sister, Rose, a rebellious spirit, to Brady, whose active sexual life is giving Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) many a sleepless night, the next generation of the iconic franchise is sure an intriguing mix! Keep reading to check out the young actors who bring these characters to life in the And Just Like That... revival ahead.

01

Cathy Ang as Lily York Goldenblatt

Cathy Ang plays Charlotte York Goldenblatt's (Kristin Davis) and Harry Goldenblatt's (Evan Handler) daughter Lily York Goldenblatt. When Charlotte faces fertility complications, the couple decide to adopt a baby girl named Lily on the 2004 series finale of Sex and the City. Lily's role was previously portrayed by twin sisters Alexandra Fong and Parker Fong in the subsequent spinoff movies, Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010).

Before landing the role of Lily, the 26-year-old actress lent her voice to the lead character of Netflix's animated flick Over the Moon. Other than that, Ang sharpened her acting chops through live theater. She starred in the prominent British rendition of the musical Maybe Happy Ending. She also earned a small role on Hulu's dramedy Ramy, where she played a White Castle cashier before And Just Like That... came along.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Ang revealed that she hadn't seen Sex and the City at all prior to her audition for the reboot. "I didn't understand how big it was because I hadn't watched it, and so once I got the audition . . . this was the wrong thing to do, but . . . I watched the movies first. And then once I got the role, I binged the show in, like, a week," she said.
