On Sunday January 10, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis all shared a trailer confirming the rumors weâd all been talking (and dreaming) about. âAnd Just Like Thatâ we hear SJP say in her classic Carrie Bradshaw voice, and then we see her type âthe story continues.â The trailer left us all with lots of questions, so hereâs everything you need to know about the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That. Â
Â
I couldnât help but wonder…what about Samantha? Kim Cattrall is the only member of the original SATC group who did not share the trailer. In the past, Cattrall has been very vocal about not being interested in reprising the role of Samantha Jones and this has not changed.Â
Â
While she has not made an official statement about her lack of involvement in And Just Like That, Cattrall liked a tweet the day after the announcement which read: âI absolutely love Sex and the City and whilst I am saddened that Samantha will not return, I applaud doing what is best for you and think this is great example of putting yourself first. Well done @KimCattrall ???.âÂ
Â
The series will not replace Samantha Jones with a new character (how could you ever replace Samantha Jones?) Sarah Jessica Parker told TMZ. âWeâre not looking for a fourth character,â Parker stated, âWe have New York City as a fourth character.â
Â
And Just Like That is set to begin production in the late spring of 2021. While we donât have an official release date yet, the series will be available on HBO Max, consisting of 10 half-hour episodes. According to Deadline, âthe revival will follow Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s.â
Â
All three of the showâs stars, Parker, Nixon and Davis, will executive produce the show. Michael Patrick King, the writer and director of both Sex and the City movies, will also be an executive producer.Â
Â
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Sarah Jessica Parker revealed a few things that we can expect from And Just Like That. She said that COVID-19 will âobviously be part of the storyline.â The series is described as a ânew chapterâ of the SATC world, one where Miranda and Charlotte are mothers to teenagers. Parker told TMZ, âthereâll be lots of interesting new characters that weâre excited about.âÂ
SJP also noted that the series will have a writersâ room which is âincredibly diverse in a really exciting way.â She explained that the writersâ room is made up entirely of women, other than the returning showrunner, Michael Patrick King.
