Danza will indeed be Che’s father in And Just Like That Season 2. By the looks of it, fans will see more of the non-binary podcaster/stand-up comic’s family as they and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) move to Los Angeles.
Tony Danza in And Just Like That Season 2
Che and Miranda went to L.A. in the first season finale after their comedy project had been ordered a pilot. They said, “Tony Danza is coming in to read for my father.

The Hopes for Che’s Character in And Just Like That Season 2
The show has been renewed after the first season’s success, and showrunner Michael Patrick King has high hopes for Che’s character in And Just Like That Season 2. “One of my burning passions about season 2 is Che,” he told Variety. “I want to show the dimension of Che that people didn’t see, for whatever reason, because they were blinded out of fear or terror.” YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: Beauty and the Beast Live-Action Special Added Two Iconic Showbiz Veterans To Play Major Roles He wanted to show more of them instead of decreasing their appearance in the new season. “My friend Gregg Araki, he’s a filmmaker, said to me, ‘How does it feel to have created the most polarising character in all 5,000 shows that are on TV?’” he continued. King then enlisted all of the controversial characters on TV, but many were concerned about the non-binary and stand-up in today’s world.
Sara Ramirez on Their Role as Che
Meanwhile, Ramirez also talked about their role, describing the love their character received as “complicated, messy, and human.” “Che is a great reminder that even when we don’t like someone in our community, they still deserve love, safety, and joy like everyone else,” they said. “But the movement for liberation includes everyone, even people we don’t like. This movement, this fight, this party of pride, isn’t just for the people who make us feel cozy and cute – it’s for everyone.” READ MORE: Grey’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 5: Dr. Jackson Avery Returns; Will He Be With April? “Other people’s opinions of a character – that’s not something I can allow into my process,” they continued. “I choose what I receive, right? That’s the beauty of being grown – I don’t have to receive everything.” There are no words yet for when And Just Like That Season 2 will be out.
