Update 2021: It seems that it will make a comeback.

Reckon we’re looking forward to December 2021 because of Christmas? Think again: it’s because the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That, is coming to our screens! The only catch? We won’t see Kim Cattrall reprise her iconic role as Samantha Jones.

In an interview with Piers Morgan in 2017, Kim ruled out returning to the Sex and the City franchise, saying, “This isn’t about more money. It’s not about more scenes. It’s not about any of those things. This is about a clear decision, an empowered decision in my life to end one chapter and start another.”

After it was confirmed that And Just Like That would not feature Samantha Jones, the rumour mill went into overdrive as fans theorised about how the show’s creators would explain her absence.

While some fans were concerned her character could be killed off (please, no), it looks like the show has a suitable alternative in mind – and if rumours are to be believed, they’re leaving the door open for Samantha to return…

I haven’t read Lipstick Jungle, and I don’t need to to not be willing to accept it as a Sex and the City substitute.

NBC Universal Television Studio has pacted with Sex and the City writer Candace Bushnell to adapt her latest book, the novel Lipstick Jungle, into a half-hour series for NBC.

Writer-producer Robin Schiff has been tapped to pen the project with Bushnell. Lipstick has been given a script commitment by the network.

Lipstick, considered by some as a follow-up to Sex and the City, chronicles the lives of Nico O’Neilly, Wendy Healy and Victory Ford, Nos. 8, 12 and 17 on the New York Post’s list of “New York’s 50 Most Powerful Women,” who would do anything to get ahead and stay on top.

“Sex and the City was about looking for Mr. Big and trying to find him,” Bushnell said. “This is about women trying to become their own Mr. Big for themselves. It’s about the new kind of successful career women who we’re seeing on the pages of Fortune magazine.”
