For months, rumors have swirled that a "Sex and the City" reboot will be returning to our screens. Now, we no longer have to wonder if the iconic series will be coming back.
On January 10, former "Sex and the City" cast members Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon posted a teaser trailer for the next installment in the series on Instagram. Immediately, longtime fans were quick to share their excitement for the new installment, with Parker's post alone receiving over 1 million likes in less than 24 hours.
Here's everything we know about the "Sex and the City" reboot, so far.
The reboot will be titled "And Just Like That..." and appear on HBO Max.
The trailer featured a montage of New York City scenes and the phrase, "And just like that... The story continues..." along with the hashtag "#SATCNextChapter."
The actresses also linked to a new Instagram page for the series, which will be titled "And Just Like That..." and appear on HBO Max.
The reboot will be a 10-episode limited series on HBO Max.
Rather than a new season of the original series, the reboot is being described as a "new chapter" entirely.
Each episode will be a half-hour, just like the original.
"We have some new stories to tell," Parker wrote on Instagram. "We are excited."
Three of the original series' leads will return - all except for Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones.
According to an HBO Max news release, the new series will star Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Kristin Davis (Charlotte York Goldenblatt), and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) playing their original characters as "they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s."
Kim Cattrall, who played sex-positive publicist Samantha Jones, will not be returning to the new limited series.
In response to two comments on her Instagram post about whether Cattrall would be returning to the next chapter, and whether the two disliked each other, Sarah Jessica Parker said, "No. I don't dislike her. I've never said that. Never would. Samantha isn't a part of this story. But she will always be a part of us. No matter where we are or what we do."
