Check out the official announcement:
“The series follows Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the complicated journey of life and friendship from their 30s, now to an even more complicated stage in their 50s.”
Cattrall’s absence from the rebirth is no longer a surprise, as the actress herself had previously expressed her contempt for the possibility of a revival of the series, due to disagreements between her and Parker.
In interviews, the actress has even admitted to being harassed backstage by her colleague, who would envy the popular reach of her character, Samantha Jones.
Additionally, Cattrall has reported on awkward situations suffered behind the scenes, due to troubled relationship dynamics with the castmate. It would have made the actress lose interest in remaining involved in the franchise.
Created by Darren Star (now in front of Emily in Paris), the original series spanned six seasons, aired between 1998 and 2004 on HBO.
The plot follows four friends who dealt with celibate life in New York in the late 1990s, while one of them recounts his experiences in a journalistic column.
In theaters, “Sex and the City” grossed $ 415 million worldwide, while the sequel reached $ 280 million.
