You'll notice, of course, that Parker named herself, Nixon, and Davis as cast members, but omitted the name of the fourth star of Sexual activity and the Urban center , Kim Cattrall.

"No. I don't dislike her. I've never said that. Never would," Parker said, refuting a commenter's claim that the two "dislike each other." She went on: "Samantha isn't part of this story. Merely she will e'er be part of u.s.. No matter where nosotros are or what nosotros exercise."

There volition be 10 half-hour episodes.
Parker, Davis, and Nixon are signed on equally executive producers of the new show, per The Hollywood Reporter. And so far, this is slated as a express series, but if we know anything nearly the seemingly endless stamina of Carrie Bradshaw and co., it could continue manner by the i flavour HBO Max has currently green-lit.
Here's how HBO is describing the series:
This new chapter of the groundbreaking HBO series Sex and the City follows "Carrie" (Sarah Jessica Parker), "Miranda" (Cynthia Nixon) and "Charlotte" (Kristin Davis) every bit they navigate the journeying from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the fifty-fifty more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s. The ten-episode, half-hour series is scheduled to brainstorm production in New York this summertime.
The writers' room was difficult at work.
Us Weekly reported in late Feb that the writers' room opened in January. As Vanity Fair also reported, the writers' room is made upwards entirely of women, and Parker referred to the writing staff as "incredibly diverse in a really exciting manner." She added that the staff volition add "life feel, political world views, and social world views" to the series.
In February, Deadline appear members of the writers' room include Shrill and Tuca & Bertie writer and Wow, No Thank You author Samantha Irby, who will also serve as co-producer; Parks and Recreation alum Rachna Fruchbom, who will also co-executive-produce; Twenties, Black Lightning, and Being Mary Jane alum Keli Goff, who will serve a supervising producer; and Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky, who both worked on the original series and volition serve as executive producers.
Diversity is a priority.
TVLine reported that the show'southward original showrunner, Michael Patrick King, and his group volition be focusing on diversifying Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda's friend group—something they were called out for not doing in the past. The site reports that there volition be at least six new characters who will be flavor regulars and women of color. This certainly doesn't brand up for the prove's past mistakes, just it will be interesting to picket the series try to reinvent itself.
HBO Max primary content Casey Bloys told TVLine that EPs Parker and King "didn't desire to tell a story with all-white writers or an all-white cast" considering "it's not reflective of New York. So they are beingness very, very conscious about agreement that New York has to reflect the way New York looks today."
Sara Ramírez is joining the cast equally the bear witness's first non-binary character.
Tony winner Sara Ramírez will bring together the original cast as Che Diaz, a stand up-upwardly comedian and podcast host who frequently invites Carrie onto the testify. Che, like Ramírez, identifies as non-binary and queer, and per The Hollywood Reporter, "is a big presence with a big heart whose outrageous sense of humor and progressive, human overview of gender roles has made them and their podcast very pop."
The original leading men are reprising their roles.
Another big casting question surrounded Carrie's dear interest, Mr. Large (Chris Noth), and the prove's other love boyfriends. On Feb. 18, Folio Six published a report that Noth would non be joining the reboot—only Noth quickly batted that thought away by dropping a inkling on social media.
"Everything changes—including announcements in the rags," he wrote.
Now, it's official: The New York Post reported all three of the original leading men—Noth, John Corbett (Aidan), and David Eigenberg (Steve)—will return for the revival. A source from the senior production squad said "viewers will definitely run across Large, Aidan, and Steve."
On Midweek, May 26, HBO Max released a press release confirming Noth's render. "I'm thrilled to be working with Chris again on And Just Similar That…," King said in a statement. "How could nosotros ever exercise a new chapter of the Sex and the Urban center story without our Mr. Big?"
On August 2, Noth was finally spotted on set with Parker for the commencement time:
Three new cast members have recently signed on.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Nicole Ari Parker, Sarita Choudhury, and Karen Pittman have all joined the SATC sequel. Parker (Empire, Rosewood) volition play Lisa Todd Wexley, a documentarian, and Park Artery mom, while Choudhury (Blindspot, Little Fires Everywhere) takes on a Manhattan existent estate broker named Seema Patel. Finally, Pittman (The Forenoon Show, Yellowstone) will play a Columbia Police School professor, Dr. Nya Wallace.
The reboot will introduce a younger cast.
According to Entertainment This night, HBO Max announced that Life in Pieces player Niall Cunningham would join that cast as Miranda Hobbes' older son. Mr. Iglesias actress Cree Cicchino is set to play Miranda's son'due south girlfriend, Luisa Torres.
And But Like That will also innovate Charlotte York and Harry Goldenblatt's daughters Lily (Cathy Ang) and Rose Goldenblatt (Alexa Swinton).
COVID-19 will be mentioned in the revival.
Speaking of COVID, it doesn't seem as if the writers are just going to ignore the pandemic, which devastated New York City final spring. Parker told VF that COVID-19 will "obviously be function of the storyline because that's the urban center [these characters] live in. And how has that changed relationships one time friends disappear? I take not bad faith that the writers are going to examine it all." The argument had some fans speculating that Samantha would die from the virus.
Or just more often than not afraid that Samantha will be killed off, somehow.

But all signs currently betoken to the writers not killing off Samantha.
Fans can accept a sigh of relief that their worst fears are non coming to fruition in And Only Like That… In an interview with TVLine, HBO Max main content officer Casey Bloys seemed to point that the character of Samantha just goes her own mode—just doesn't dice. Bloys added that "just every bit in existent life, people come up into your life, people leave."
He added: "Friendships fade, and new friendships get-go. So I call back it is all very indicative of the real stages, the actual stages of life… They're trying to tell an honest story about existence a adult female in her 50s in New York."
So, perchance they merely…ghosted each other? But no ane is an actual ghost. Can you lot imagine a series of unexplained events that the women somewhen blame on Samantha's ghost?
The story will follow Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte in their 50s.
We last saw the friends in 2010, then more than than a decade has passed in the friends' lives. That goes back to what Bloys said nigh the women's friendship with Samantha. Information technology'southward been a long time, anybody is in their 50s, and friendships fall off. What else is going on with the group now that they're fifty? Surely they've picked up some quarantine hobbies. The real question is whether we could ever see Carrie condign a sourdough addict.
The door is reportedly 'open for Kim Cattrall to return every bit Samantha Jones' in a second season.
HBO is expected to announce flavour ii of the reboot soon. A senior production source told the Daily Mail that "Michael Patrick Male monarch (executive producer, manager, and writer) and Parker have plans for this to be more a limited x-episode run on HBO Max, so expect to come across a second season appear soon."
A source too said, "The door is open for Kim Cattrall to return as Samantha Jones." The source added, "There was plainly a concern that people would miss Kim and not exist engaged, merely the response and then far has been phenomenal, and for fans of Kim, the door is open up for her to return. If she ever changes her listen, she tin come up back."
The franchise is no stranger to spin-offs.
This is definitely not the outset time the SATC creators accept expanded the universe. If you'll recall, The CW had a series called The Carrie Diaries based on Candace Bushnell'due south prequel to her 1997 Sex and the City book. The show, which starred Anna Sophia Robb, ran from 2013 to 2014.
Of grade, there were also two feature films, Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the Urban center 2 (2010). Will we ever see the end of these friends, this show, and Carrie Bradshaw? Not if fan power has anything to say about information technology. That said, if you lot don't have an HBO Max subscription, it's fourth dimension to go on it.
(Spoiler Alarm) At that place are definitely some new love interests.
Some new photos from the set were released on October 20 showing Sarah Jessica Parker walking manus-in-hand with actor Jon Tenney, then standing outside of Carrie's well-known brownstone facade.
And and so, a pic of them kissing:
This must mean that Carrie'southward relationship with Mr. Large is in one of its "off once again" phases during the testify. There are another series of shots from the gear up of And Merely Like That.. . featuring Parker and Tenney, so information technology seems similar this is at least a two date affair between Carrie and whoever Tenney's character is on the series.
Either that, or Carrie's outfit changes are happening even faster than nosotros remember.
Fifty-fifty more scenes appear with actor Jon Tenney.
The number of outfits that Sarah Jessica Parker wears with a man indicates the seriousness of her relationship with him on the show. It looks like things are heating upwardly with her and role player Jon Tenney, who was seen kissing Parker during scenes shot in front of her well-known brownstone facade. At that place are now new photos of the pair, in which Parker is wearing a black greatcoat made of puffy vest material, which Tenney helps slide off:
Then she walks away from him in her rather conservative (for Carrie) white dress line with black trimming—and a pair of hot pink heels for a splash of color.
And she'due south carrying a very interesting tasseled silver pouch as a purse. Maybe Jon Tenney's character understands Carrie's accessories better than Jack Berger did.
The show did not write in Willie Garson'south decease.
Actor Willie Garson, who played Carrie's shut friend Stanford Blatch, passed abroad on September 21. Garson died of cancer and was still in the midst of shooting his scenes for And But Similar That. Fans have wondered is this mean Stanford'due south grapheme arc volition reflect this loss.
On December 3, in an interview with The New York Times, executive producer Michael Patrick King answered in a way, saying, "Nobody'south dead. Nobody."
He offered this as an explanation for why Garson's death wasn't included in the narrative in some mode. Rex said, "Because it wasn't charming. And I knew that the audience would know."
A few days before in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter King was asked if the reboot had filmed everything they had intended to with Garson. King responded, "Oh God, no."
He connected, "We had a whole journey that we weren't able to practice. Merely what he did is fantastic."
Chris Noth was apparently instrumental in designing Large'southward decease.
Showrunner Michael Patrick King told Usa Weekly that when Noth was pitched the idea that he would die in the very commencement episode of the new series, he wasn't super enthusiastic.
"[I asked,] 'You lot wanna come in and dice?' And and then he was similar, 'Of course, no, who wants to?'" said King on Friday. Merely Noth gradually came around.
"We started talking about the character and what it would mean," King said. "And so Chris and I worked a lot, and it was a thrill considering he has not bad instincts, great story instincts."
King continued, "Together, what we came upwards with is exactly how he left and why he left and how he would leave and what their last moments would be."
The showrunner also claimed that Noth was the one who came upwardly with the last substitution Big and Carrie share, when he lovingly tells her he's looking at her before she head'southward out for the night.
"That was Chris. That's pure Chris. He only wanted that," King said.
He ended, "Chris was really pleased with the collaboration, and nosotros're both very happy with the daring daring choice to have Mr. Large come up dorsum and go."
Sarah Jessica Parker never thought the reboot would happen.
On Sunday, HBO Max released a roundtable for reboot And Just Similar That... featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis. During the brief interview, Parker tearfully admitted she never really thought the new series would get off the basis.
"We're very aware of the adept fortune that surrounds just this effort this time," Parker began.
Nixon jumped in to say, "You tin can never become home again. Except very occasionally, you actually can. This astonishing thing that happened in your life, 25 years ago…"
At that bespeak things began to go emotional.
"To be together is really, like, neat," Parker continued.
Davis then added, "You never become to work with people this long, in this mode, in this depth."
"I didn't recall information technology was going to happen," Parker and then admitted.
She later explained how much it took to get to where they were and how they've all grown in the time information technology took to create the reboot.
"At that place is so much that went into this try," Parker explained. "Cynthia and Kristin are executive producers at present, and Cynthia is directing."
