Wondering where Samantha is going in the SATC reboot? We got the answer
HBO Max announced their upcoming revival of “Sex and the City” and the fans couldn’t contain their excitement! But there was a catch… the show will go on without one of the four gals, Samantha Jones. Fans couldn’t help wondering how the plot would go on and what the new episodes will entail.
Now, HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys tells TVLine exactly how they’re writing Kim Cattrall off the series. Bloys said that Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie Bradshaw on the show, and writer Michael Patrick King, who are in charge of the sequel, are “not trying to re do ‘Sex and the City.'”
“They’re not trying to say that these characters are reliving their 30s. It is very much a story about women in their 50s, and they are dealing with things that people deal with in their 50s,” Bloys said, adding that since so much time has passed, “just as in real life, people come into your life, people leave.”
“Friendships fade, and new friendships start,” he added. “So I think it is all very indicative of the real stages, the actual stages of life. They’re trying to tell an honest story about being a woman in her 50s in New York. So it should all feel somewhat organic, and the friends that you have when you’re 30, you may not have when you’re 50.”
Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbs) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) will join Bradshaw on the reboot, titled “And Just Like That.”
