- Fake film notices for 'And Just Like That…' are going viral in New York City.
- The flyers feature bizarre plots like Carrie Bradshaw dating Mr. Bean.
- The mystery prankster also imagined a reboot of "The King of Queens" where Doug dies.
Imagine if the next season of "And Just Like That…" featured Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw on a date with Mr. Bean.
At least one person in New York is imagining it, according to a series of fradulent film notices appearing around the city and going viral on social media.
The notices, taped on signposts and electric boxes, feature a fake warning that the show will be filming in the area and a description of a bizarre episode plot.
"After getting hit by a Citibike, Carrie retains Fletcher Reede (Jim Carrey) from 'Liar, Liar' as her lawyer" one flyer said, per a post on X.
Another one reads: "Carrie goes on a bad date with Mr. Bean (the character) and then accidentally sends him a nude."
Each flyer is signed by a location manager named "Next Tuesday Productions," though Business Insider could not find a business with this name in New York. It is unclear who is behind the stunt.
Max did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other social media sleuths spotted notices for a fake reboot of Kevin James' sitcom "The King of Queens." James told the New York Post in January that he didn't see a reboot happening because "a third of that big core cast is gone."
However, that did not stop the prankster from reimagining one.
"Doug (Kevin James) dies when Queen Elizabeth dies because of an Eliott/E.T. kind of thing," the notice reads, per a post on X.
It is unclear if either show will take inspiration from the prankster and, in the case of "And Just Like That…" incorporate the plots into episodes of the upcoming season 3.
But if you see Carrie Bradshaw at brunch telling her friends that she's Garfield the Cat over brunch, you'll know where the idea came from.
