HBO Max’s new trailer for “And Just Like That,” its revival of “Sex and the City,” expands on the teaser, revealing where Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and the gang are more than 11 years after we saw them in the movie “Sex and the City 2.”
Along with Parker, Kristin Davis has returned as Charlotte, and Cynthia Nixon will once again play Miranda. Kim Cattrall has chosen not to come back as fan-favorite Samantha, after issues that have been well documented over the years. “Sex and the City” mainstays Chris Noth, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler and Willie Garson — who died in September — will return to the show, reprising their past roles. New cast members Sara Ramírez, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Karen Pittman will join them.
The trailer appears to reveal that the three women are still married — at least for now — as well as how the new characters will figure into the show.
The 10-episode season will premiere on HBO Max on Thursday, Dec. 9 with two episodes, and will roll out weekly on Thursdays through Feb. 3.
“Sex and the City” — which was created by Darren Star, and was overseen for years by Michael Patrick King — ran for six seasons on HBO from 1998 to 2004. It was based on Candace Bushnell’s 1996 book of the same title, and also spurred two movies written and directed by King.
King is running “And Just Like That,” and in the announcement that accompanied the new trailer and key art, HBO Max revealed that he’s written and directed the first two episodes of the revival. Cynthia Nixon has directed the show’s sixth episode. The full episode credits are pasted below.
The executive producers of “And Just Like That” are Parker, Davis, Nixon, Julie Rottenberg, Elisa Zuritsky, John Melfi and King.
