Sex And The City return confirmed for HBO

“I couldn’t help but wonder… where are they now?”

It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for (possibly) – Sex And The City is coming back to our screens.

It’s been 16 years since the TV show last aired and HBO confirmed this week to Variety that the series is getting the revival treatment at HBO Max.

They even have a new name for the new series, which will be called And Just Like That… and will star Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. The three will also executively produce the show.

You may have noticed all the girls will be back except for Kim Cattrall AKA the infamous Samantha Jones.

It’s strange to imagine the show without her, but after much reported beef between her and Sarah Jessica Parker, it’s not a huge surprise that she’s not returning.

And although it’s hard to picture the streets of New York without one of its main stars gracing them, that’s how the next chapter is shaping up.

It’s not looking like we’ll have to wait too long for the next instalment as filming is expected to start this spring.

Variety says the new show will follow the ladies as “they navigate love and friendship in their 50s. The series will consist of 10 half-hour episodes.”

The stars shared the news on social media last night with a little teaser video that had everyone around the world buzzing for the new episodes and in Parker’s post on her Instagram she wrote: “I couldn’t help but wonder… where are they now?”

Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, said in a statement: “I grew up with these characters, and I can’t wait to see how their story has evolved in this new chapter, with the honesty, poignancy, humour and the beloved city that has always defined them.”
