…’And Just Like That’ HBO Max Confirms ‘Sex and the City’ Reboot

SJP couldn’t help but wonder… where are they now?

~it’s as if she was reading our minds!!

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis posted a teaser trailer and confirmed the news earlier today on Instagram that yes- there will be a Sex and the City spin-off and it will be titled And Just Like That.

HBO Max, also confirmed in a press release  that the network has officially ordered 10 episodes, each 30 minutes long.

And Just Like That is being described as a 'new chapter’ in the Sex And The City world, that as you know, was based on the book by author Candice Bushnell and TV series (that ran from 1998-2004) by Darren Starr (who most recently created Emily In Paris for Netflix). The series 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.

Kim Cattrall, who has been very vocal for years about not wanting to return to the SITC franchise, chose not to be a part of the reboot. You probably remember when a third Sex and the City movie was in the beginning stages, but stopped there once Cattrall decided she did not want to be involved. Cattrall’s character of Samantha Jones is said to not be recast, but instead “eliminated entirely.” Eek.

Sarah Jessica Parker respond to two comments on her Instagram, both regarding whether Cattrall would be returning to the next chapter, and whether the two disliked each other.
SJP said, "No. I don't dislike her. I've never said that. Never would. Samantha isn't a part of this story. But she will always be a part of us. No matter where we are or what we do."
