Sex And The City: HBO Max Orders Revival Series

 And Just Like That ..... the story continues.

Last month there were rumours that HBO Max had plans to revive Sex And The City for a limited series and last night, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon all took to social media to confirm that the show would be coming back for a 10 episode series, now titled And Just Like That for HBO Max as this upcoming series would focus on Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda in their 50s. As you have no doubt noticed by now, a certain someone is not returning.

Yup, it seems that Kim Cattral will not be reprising her role as Samantha Jones and already this is going to be a major obstacle for the limited series. I know Cattral doesn't get along with the rest of the ladies but it's a pity differences cannot be put aside for this likely one off event. I do wonder if this upcoming limited series can draw in potential new audiences or even the same impact the original series, which ran for six seasons between 1998 to 2004 on HBO as well as the two movies from 2008 and 2010. I feel Sex And The City is definitely a product of its time, but perhaps this revival an at least be more entertaining than it's big screen adventures were. However the lack of Samantha Jones doesn't work in its favour.
