Miranda Hobbes first appeared in Candace Bushnell's newspaper column "Sex and the City" as a cable television executive in her early thirties.

[7] The television Sex and the City version of Miranda Hobbes is a fiery career-minded red-head, a Harvard-educated lawyer with a cynical take on relationships and men.

As the series progresses, Miranda's cynicism softens, particularly after she becomes pregnant by her on-again, off-again bartender boyfriend, Steve Brady, whom she eventually marries.

The birth of her son, Brady Hobbes, brings up new issues for her Type A, workaholic personality as she finds her way to balance career and motherhood.

Of the four women, she is the first to purchase a Manhattan apartment, which she gives up when she moves into a Brooklyn town house in the final season to make room for her growing family.

Miranda and Steve go to couples' therapy, during which they decide to meet on the Brooklyn Bridge in two weeks if they want to forgive and forget what happened and start over.

The Carrie Diarie's showrunner Amy B. Harris revealed that if the show had been renewed for a third season, young Miranda would have been introduced as a character.

[8] In And Just Like That..., Miranda pursues a master's degree in human rights at Columbia University,[9] after being inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests.

She finds herself drifting away from Steve, as their sex life has once again died out, and becoming attracted to Carrie's podcast co-host, comedian Che Diaz [10] (played by Sara Ramirez).

Originally introduced by Carrie, Miranda finds Skipper young and immature, and is irritated by his romantic view of life and love, which contrasts sharply with her cynical outlook.

Dr. Robert Leeds (Blair Underwood) is a successful sports medicine doctor for the New York Knicks, whom Miranda meets while interviewing him with fellow members of her building's tenant board to occupy a vacant apartment.

Miranda also begins dating Robert, but eventually confesses to Steve her true feelings and they end their respective relationships with other people.

In And Just Like That... Miranda and Steve's sex life has become stagnant again and she finds herself attracted to non-binary comedian Che Diaz, who hosts a podcast with Carrie.
