Sarah Jessica Parkeris teasing new details about the upcoming HBO MaxSex and the Cityrevival.
Nearly three weeks after the actress and her costars,Cynthia NixonandKristin Davis,confirmed the news of the revival, Parker, 55, spoke toVanity Fairabout what fans can expect from the series and whether or not thecoronavirus pandemicwill be addressed.
The pandemic will “obviously be part of the storyline because that’s the city [these characters] live in,” Parker said of the New York City-based show.
The actress said she believes the show will also attempt to answer how COVID-19 has “changed relationships once friends disappear.”
“I have great faith that the writers are going to examine it all,” she added.
While Parker said she is still waiting to see the scripts for the revival, titledAnd Just Like That, she and her costars are looking forward to seeing where their characters stand now that they’re in their 50s.
Parker is set to reprise her role as writer Carrie Bradshaw in the revival, and Davis, 55, and Nixon, 54, will return to play their original characters Charlotte York Goldenblatt and Miranda Hobbes, respectively.
Parker’s questions regarding the lives of Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte did not stop there.
“What is their relationship to social media? What has changed?” she continued. “What is their life like? For Carrie, who doesn’t have family beyond her friendships, where is she professionally? How have all of these political changes affected her work? Is she still writing a column? Has she written any more books? Or does she have a podcast? What does fashion mean to her now? How have the friendships changed or not changed, and has her social circle grown?”
The ten-episode, half-hour series from executive producer Michael Patrick King is being written with the help of an all-female writers' room, which Parker said is “incredibly diverse in a really exciting way.”
“There’s an enormous amount to be excited about,” Parker added of the upcoming series. “I’m just excited to be handed the script.”
