TheSex and the Citytelevision revival is officially happening. It’s been over a decade since we last romped with Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. Previously, we saw the quartet in 2010’sSex and the City 2, the second of two feature films spawned by the HBO series. Like many shows that radiate with nostalgia and boast big fanbases (see:FriendsandThe Office), reunion rumors forSex and Cityhave swirled around for years. Now, it’s finally going to become a reality.
On Sunday night, HBO Max announced aSex and the Cityrevival limited series. A New York City-set teaser trailer was also released viaSarah Jessica Parker’sInstagram. The title of the limited series isAnd Just Like That…— a reference to one of Carrie’s (Parker) many catchphrases.Michael Patrick Kingwill return as an executive producer on the series, which will consist of 10 half-hour episodes. Additionally, it was confirmed Parker,Cynthia Nixon(Miranda), andKristin Davis(Charlotte) would return to star in the newSex and the Cityinstallment. All three actors will serve as executive producers, too.
Now, fans of the series will notice thatKim Cattrall, who plays Samantha, is not returning. We’ll let you Google the complete timeline, but, to put it politely, Cattrall’s relationship withSex and the Cityis rocky. As such, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that she won’t be back for yet another installment. Cattrall’s absence does mean thatAnd Just Like That… will have to find a way to write Samantha out, which should entertain fans to no end when the limited series eventually premieres.
Per HBO Max,And Just Like That…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.” Beyond this brief synopsis, it’s unclear what theSex and the Cityteam is cooking up for Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. Will the new series comment on the pandemic? Will these three best friends still be married to their respective husbands? Will there be more kids around for Miranda or Charlotte to wrangle? Is Carrie heading her own media start-up after spending years as a writer? Anything is possible.
And Just Like That…is set to begin production in New York City in the spring. In the meantime, check out the teaser trailer below and check out our picks for thebest TV shows on HBO Max.
