Sex and the City is set to return as a limited series on the new HBO Max streaming service.
The news comes after years of rumors about a third film in the hit series, which were denied by Sarah Jessica Parker in 2017.
According Deadline, sources confirmed that the show will return to a limited screening, with a screening date not yet specified.
Sources say that three of the series’ main characters – Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes and Kristin Davis as Charlotte York – will return for the limited series, but Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones) is unlikely to make a comeback.
Talking to the Female Fiction Award podcast this week as rumors started circulating about the restart, Cattrall said of the original show: “It was a lot of fun and I loved it and being in new territory is always exciting. I felt like we were. “
She added: “Running away, even if it is the only thing to do, you always feel, it makes me a little ashamed, I think. The taste of shame and you have to give it up. You don’t want to become that caged bird (sic). “
When putting forward ideas for a third Sex and the City movie in 2017, Sarah Jessica Parker said, “It’s over … let’s not do that.”
She even revealed that a script had already been written and that she was “disappointed” because the film had not gone ahead. “We had a beautiful, funny, moving, joyful and very identifiable script and story. It is not only disappointing that we cannot tell the story and have that experience, but even more for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another film. “
