Reportedly, the reboot’s real plot will focus on Carrie (Sarah), Miranda (Cyntha 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," reported an online portal. The show titled And Just Like That…is going to be a 10-episode limited series.
Kim had repeatedly denied reprising her role in Sex And The City. It is reported that Sarah and she have had a feud for years which came to a head in 2017-18. However, Sarah dismissed such speculations while responding to fans in her Instagram comments recently and said that Kim will always be a part of SATC and that they all loved her.
