In a nostalgic turn of events, the beloved series Sex and the City is making a comeback, sans Samantha. HBO Max has announced a limited series featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis as Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte, respectively. Kim Cattrall, who portrayed the iconic Samantha, will not be returning. Nevertheless, Parker assures fans that the revival will incorporate contemporary elements, including the impact of COVID-19 on New York City and the rise of podcasts.
Parker confirmed the reboot, titled And Just Like That…, in a video shared on her Instagram. While promoting the show, she addressed the absence of Cattrall, stating, “We’re not looking to create a fourth character. We have New York City as the fourth character. There will be plenty of intriguing new characters that we are thrilled about.”
Following the somewhat controversial decisions made in the second Sex and the City film, many are curious about what new narratives the franchise can explore, especially after the complexities of Carrie’s previous relationships came to light.
In a January 29th interview with Vanity Fair, Parker expressed her eagerness to see the scripts being crafted by acclaimed showrunner Michael Patrick King, who is working with a writers’ room made up entirely of diverse women. “It’s incredibly diverse in a really exciting way,” Parker said, highlighting how the new team will bring fresh perspectives to the series.
Parker noted that COVID-19 will “clearly be part of the storyline, because that’s the city [these characters] live in.” As the show centers around relationships, it will delve into how the pandemic has altered friendships and dynamics, particularly when connections fade.
While the specifics of her character’s journey remain unknown, Parker is excited about exploring the characters’ lives in their 50s. “I think that Cynthia, Kristin, and I are all eager to see how time has shaped them,” she remarked. “Who are they now? Have they adapted? What challenges have they faced as women and friends?”
Parker also pondered how social media has influenced their lives. With Miranda and Charlotte now mothers of teenagers, she questioned what their lives look like today. For Carrie, who lacks family ties beyond her friends, what does her professional life entail? Is she still writing, or has she transitioned into the podcast realm? How have her friendships evolved?
