Everyone’s been talking about one thing this week—the Sex and the City reboot. After rumors about a reboot for years, it’s finally been confirmed that it’s happening. The announcement for the revival came in a short video clip shared by returning cast members Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon which featured York City streets. So, what can we expect from the revival titled And Just Like That…?
The 10-episode series will follow Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York through their friendship during their 50s, which is much more complicated than it was during their 30s. While there’s no premiere date set, the series is scheduled to begin production in New York in late spring.
Also returning are executive producer Michael Patrick King, who directed the original series and worked on the show’s two feature films. There’s no word yet if the show’s iconic costume designer Patricia Field will be returning. The show’s creator, Darren Star, won’t be part of the reboot due to other obligations.
A notable face that won’t be returning is the fourth member of the friend group, Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones. Fans are worried about how the series will do without Samantha Jones and they’re wondering if the producers will replace Cattrall with another actor or if they’ll eliminate her character altogether.
Parker may have answered this question when responding to a comment on her Instagram post announcing the revival. “Samantha isn’t part of this story. But she will always be part of us. No matter where we are or what we do.”
Besides for these details, not much else is known about the revival, but we’re excited to find out more to come.
