Sarah Jessica Parker dismisses Kim Cattrall return to 'SATC' franchise: 'Too much public history'

foxnews.com:

Sarah Jessica Parker likes the "Sex and the City" universe just the way it is. For years as rumors of a revival of some sort swirled, Kim Cattrall, one of the stars of the original show and its two films, insisted she would never reprise her role as Samantha.

Alongside her desire to put the franchise to bed, Cattrall and Parker were embroiled in a public feud for quite some time. When the show was revived via HBO Max's "And Just Like That…," news broke that Cattrall, 65, wouldn't be involved.

And it seems Parker, 56, isn't very interested in that changing in the future. Sarah Jessica Parker said that she isn't interested in seeing Kim Cattrall return to the 'Sex and the City' universe. (Getty Images) In a recent interview with Variety, the Emmy winner was asked whether she'd be OK with Cattrall returning should Cattrall suddenly change her mind. "I don’t think I would, because I think there’s just too much public history of feelings on her part that she’s shared," Parker said. "I haven’t participated in or read articles, although people are inclined to let me know." The actress and "And Just Like That…" writer Michael Patrick King also revealed that Cattrall was never approached to appear in the show because she'd previously expressed so much disinterest in appearing in such a reboot.

"After we didn’t do the movie and the studio couldn’t meet what she wanted to do, we have to hear her and listen to her and what was important to her.
