Sex and the City premiered on HBO in July 1998 and ran for six seasons before its series finale in February 2004. The show, which won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2001, starred Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones), Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) as four New York women in the late ’90s and early ’00s. The series was followed by two movies, Sex and the City: The Movie and Sex and the City 2, in 2008 and 2010.

In January 2021, SJP confirmed in an Instagram post that a Sex and the City revival was set for HBO Max. The miniseries, titled And Just Like That…, premiered in December 2021 and stars Parker, Davis and Nixon. Michael Patrick King, the series’ executive producer, also returned. Cattrall, however, didn’t come back amid reports of her years-long feud with SJP. In an interview with CNN in 2018, Cattrall confirmed that she has no interest in ever playing Samantha again. “Me playing her, that I can assure you will never happen. For me it’s over, it’s over with no regrets,” she said at the time. After she announced the revival, SJP confirmed that Cattrall won’t return as Samantha, but denied that the two have bad blood. I don’t dislike her. I’ve never said that. Never would. Samantha isn’t part of this story, but she will always be a part of us. No matter where we are or what we do. X,” she responded to a fan on Instagram who claimed that SJP “dislikes” Cattrall.
