And Just Like That … Teaser Drops Featuring Nicole Ari Parker
And just like that … there’s a trailer for the “Sex in the City” revival series.
On Friday, HBO Max released a teaser for the series And Just Like That starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and newcomer Nicole Ari Parker.
Parker will play Lisa Todd Wexley a Park Avenue mother of three.
As previously reported, Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones, elected not to return for the sequel. Parker said when rumors started swirling that she would be replacing Cattrall people would yell at her on the street.
“When it first came out that I was replacing the Samantha character — which is not true at all, so please write that — I have been yelled at, and I’ve also been attacked with love,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve been photographed in places I should never be photographed. The fans are so excited and over the top. I had some idea of that because I am one of those fans, but I had no idea [the extent of it].”
Sara Ramirez, Sarita Choudhury and Karen Pittman have also been added to the cast. Parker told THR she is proud to be among “four women of color who are fully realized women with full lives.”
She added: “Everyone’s still having sex and it’s wonderful.”
Pittman who was last seen in Netflix’s “Luke Cage” and Apple TV+ “The Morning Show” will play a “brilliant, challenging Columbia Law professor.”’
Per HBO Max, the new chapter of the groundbreaking series “Sex and the City,” follows “Carrie” (Sarah Jessica Parker), “Miranda” (Cynthia Nixon) and “Charlotte” (Kristin Davis) 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.
The ten-episode series from executive producer Michael Patrick King, will debut with two episodes on Thursday, December 9 on HBO Max.
