Sex and the City fans aren't the only ones rooting for David Eigenberg's character Steve Brady.
In fact, after Cynthia Nixon's character Miranda Hobbs left him for Sara Ramirez's Che Diaz in season one of And Just Like That, the actor revealed even his 9-year-old daughter Myrna demanded showrunners reunite the fictional couple next season.
"She saw some of that 'justice for Steve' stuff," Eigenberg exclusively told E! News, adding that she suggested he declare during his season two table read, "'My name is Dave Eigenberg and I play Steve and justice for Steve!'"
While viewers will have to wait to see how Steve and Miranda's relationship works out—or doesn't—Eigenberg is just happy to reunite with Nixon and the rest of the cast for a second season of MAX's revival.
"It was a lot of fun," the Chicago Fire star shared. "To come back 20 years later, they are beautiful, lovely people. There's a great heart there. They've always really cared about each other so much."
Calling Nixon "an amazing colleague," Eigenberg added, "Cynthia is the best, she's a phenomenal actor. I've never had a bad second with her."
As for his favorite memory from filming the original dramedy? "I got in trouble, John Corbett once stole a bottle off of a real bar," Eigenberg revealed. "He got caught and I saw it and they screamed at me."
In addition to the iconic Steve Brady, Eigenberg has played firefighter Christopher Herrmann for 11 seasons on Chicago Fire. The star recently bonded with real-life first responder Captain Dan Olivas, who stars on NBC's new reality series L.A. Fire & Rescue. Olivas even lauded Eigenberg's portrayal of the fictional firefighter.
"That's a very nice compliment," Eigenberg told Olivas in E! News' exclusive interview, "because I was watching you guys do the real thing and when you say, 'It's the best job in the world,' it's a heartfelt, beautiful thing."
L.A. Fire & Rescue premieres Wednesday, June 21, at 8 p.m. on NBC. Season two of And Just Like That premieres on Max June 22.
Keep reading for everything we know about And Just Like That season two.
Kim Cattrall—who starred on all six seasons of Sex and the City and its two spin-off movies, but did not reprise her role for the first season of And Just Like That...—will make an appearance on the revival's second season, a rep for Max (formerly HBO Max) confirmed to New York Post on May 31.
If you just couldn't help but wonder what's going on with Carrie and Aidan, this February 2022 photo of Sarah Jessica Parker and John Corbett acting out a scene for season two might give you an idea.
In August 2022, Deadline reported that John Corbett—who played Carrie's boyfriend Aidan on seasons three and four of Sex and the City—would be returning for "a substantial, multi-episode arc" on season two. In January, Max officially confirmed Corbett's season two casting with first look photos.
Corbett won't be the only fresh face in season two, as Tony Danza is also joining the cast as the actor playing Che's father in her sitcom pilot.
In a Nov. 3 photo from the And Just Like That... set, Carrie was seen wearing her iconic Vivienne Westwood dress from her wedding to Mr. Big (Chris Noth) in the 2008 Sex and the City movie.
Do we hear more wedding bells?
Charlotte's beloved dog Elizabeth Taylor was noticeably absent in season one, which left some fans befuddled. Charlotte did have a new bulldog named Richard Burton, but it didn't quite feel right that the legacy and impact of Elizabeth went unaddressed.
In season two, a wrong appears to have been righted. In a Nov. 15 Instagram post, costumer designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago shared an oil painting of Elizabeth Taylor wearing a Burberry sweater, writing, "On charlotte's hallway wall."
Kristin Davis even commented, "My first baby."
May she rest in peace.
While season one of And Just Like That... was an undeniable nostalgia rush, it was a bit....bleak. An entire season centered around death and grief will do that.
However, the second season promises a breath of fresh air, at least according to Sarah Aubrey, Max's head of originals.
"What you're seeing this season is all of these characters embracing life," Aubrey told Variety Nov. 10. "It's a very joyful season and I think, in some ways, it feels like iconic Sex and the City episodes."
Season two will premiere on Max on June 22.
