All the Sex and the City fans finally had their dream meeting – sort of. HBO Max confirmed that a limited series of 10 episodes, entitled And so …, will star Sarah Jessica Parker (as Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (as Miranda Hobbes) and Kristin Davis (as Charlotte York), with Michael Patrick King back as executive producer alongside the trio. King directed many episodes and wrote and directed both SATC feature films. The most notable absence is Kim Cattrall, who will not return to play Samantha Jones.
According to a statement, the new Max Original series is based on the book, Sex and the City, by Candice Bushnell and the original TV series created by Darren Star. “The series will follow Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their thirties to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their fifties.” The series is scheduled to start production in New York City in late spring and broadcast on HBO Max (the streaming service is also where you can stream the original Sex and the City Series.
Cattrall made public her desire to put the franchise, her castmates and her character Samantha behind, and, as TVLine points out, in an October 2017 interview with Piers Morgan, she begged SATCThe team creating a rework of the role of Samantha with a non-white actress. “It’s a big role,” she told Morgan. “I played beyond the finish line and a little more, and I loved it. AND other the actress should play. Perhaps they could choose an African American Samantha Jones or a Hispanic Samantha Jones. “
Both films were a huge hit with fans, although they were heavily dragged by film critics. As Peter Travers pointed out in his analysis of the sequence – a saucy girl trip that was set in the Middle East: “Abu Dhabi and the other United Arab Emirates may have issued a fatwa against the carnality classified for minors and Samantha’s thoughts about the desert as “Lawrence and my lips”. “
Despite the fact that all the actresses have appeared in several other films and television series – the Parker series on HBO Divorce was canceled after its third season of six episodes – it seems that the fascination of returning to its historical series was simply irresistible.
