The reboot of Sex and the City was released on HBO Max We couldn't help but wonder: is it still SATC without the core four?

The "Sex and the City" reboot, titled "And So It Goes," follows Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate love and friendship in their 50s, but without Samantha Original stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon made the announcement via social media Kim Cattrall, however, will not appear in the sequel series She has clashed with Parker in the past and has openly insisted that the role be recast

Sex and the City, based on an essay written by Candace Bushnell, ran for six seasons on HBO from 1998 to 2008 and won several Emmy awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series The show focused on four single women and their romantic relationships in New York City; two feature films were produced in 2008 and 2010, and a prequel series, The Carrie Diaries, aired on The CW

And Just Like That consists of 10 half-hour episodes Original series creator Darren Star is not involved, but Michael Patrick King (who directed the episodes and wrote and directed the feature film) will executive produce

Here is what we know so far about the "Sex and the City" reboot

HBO Max has not set a release date for And Just Like That

Production on the series is expected to begin in late spring in New York City After filming and post-production, the "SATC" revival could premiere as early as late fall 2021 However, we speculate a release date closer to spring 2022

And "Just Like That" will feature three of the four original series actors: Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York Goldenblatt, and Miranda Hobbes Cynthia Nixon

A fourth cast member, Kim Cattrall, will not reprise her role as Samantha Jones

The long-standing feud between Cattrall and Parker has been widely reported by many media outlets, including the NY Post Catral himself has been open about the subject After her brother's death, Catral blasted Parker on Instagram: "You are not my friend So I am writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy to restore your 'good boy' persona"

In 2017, when talk of a third "Sex and the City" movie began to fly, Cattrall stated that she would not appear in that film or any future SATC project

After the announcement of the revived series, Parker replied to an Instagram comment regarding Catrall's absence In it, she wrote, "I don't hate her I've never said that I would never say that Samantha is not part of this story But she will always be a part of us" In response to another commenter's request that the role be recast, Parker said, "We have a new story to tell We are excited"

No other SATC revival casts have been announced, but it is possible that we could see stars from these original series:

We may also see older versions of Miranda's son, Brady, and Charlotte's daughter, Lily and Rose

The trailer for the "SATC" revival will not be released until filming is complete (or at least underway), but as part of the announcement, the cast released a teaser video "And just like that " in the New York video "The story continues "

followed by a flash of a computer screen with the words "And just like that " and "The story continues All we know so far is that "And Just Like That" is about Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte's friendship and romance in their 50s

When we last saw them in the film Sex and the City 2, the three were still happily married Miranda had taken a job at a new, more diverse and inclusive law firm Charlotte was in full mom mode And Carrie was reunited with Big (even though she and Aidan had almost had a fight in Abu Dhabi) and reaffirmed their commitment

So what will the new chapter explore; in 2018, Parker told The Hollywood Reporter that Carrie might write about the #MeToo movement 'It's hard to believe she wouldn't want to write about it, talk about it, or have an opinion about it It would be rich territory for her to explore"

And of course, whatever the storyline will be, fans can expect the wonderful and often outrageous fashion for which the original "Sex and the City" was famous
