Comedian Lea DeLaria has opened up about the Sex and the City revival, and its polarising character Che Diaz. In December 2021, HBO Max dropped the highly anticipated series And Just Like That.
The new show follows Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristen Davis) as they navigate their life in their 50s.
The revival also introduces an array of new characters, including non-binary comedian Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez), documentarian Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker), Columbia law professor Dr Nya Wallace (Karen Pittman), and real estate broker Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury).
While most of the new additions have been welcomed by viewers, the reception of Che Diaz has been noticeably mixed. In an interview with Page Six, DeLaria revealed that she has often been compared to the fictional podcast host.
