“Sex and the City” will return with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, but without Kim Cattrall. The actresses will be filming a new 10-episode season called And Just Like That … which will premiere on HBO Max. After confirming the news, it has already been revealed how much the stars will charge for the new chapters.
According to Variety, performers will charge over one million dollars per episode. The three actresses will also serve as executive producers. The revival will follow Carrie Bradshaw (Parker), Charlotte York (Davis) and Miranda Hobbes (Nixon) and their experiences of love and friendship at the age of 50. Production of the series will begin in New York in late spring. Michael Patrick King will be executive producer alongside Parker, Nixon and Davis.
“Sex and the City” was created by Darren Star from Candace Bushnell’s 1997 book of the same name. The original series premiered on HBO in 1998 and lasted six seasons until 2004. In 2008, Sex and the City: The Movie was released, grossing over $ 418 million on a $ 65 million budget. In 2010, Sex and the City 2 was released, which was much less successful with about $ 290 million.
Cattrall will not return to fiction after playing in a media confrontation with Parker. It seems that the salary of the stars had to be made in their alienation. “I thought that after six years, it’s time for all of us to participate in the unintended gains of Sex and the City. When they didn’t seem interested in it, I thought it was time to move on,” Cattrall told Friday Night With Jonathan Ross reasons why there was no seventh season.
