  • Sex and the City aired from 1998 to 2004 and completely changed TV with its frank discussions – and now the second season of its revival And Just Like That will premiere on HBO on June 22
  • Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon reprised their roles but Kim Cattrall apparently shot a scene for the show’s upcoming season without interacting with her three former co-stars

It’s been 25 years since the first episode of Sex and the City aired, and it’s safe to say that its enduring impact changed television forever. Running from 1998 to 2004, HBO’s hit TV show redefined storytelling and the portrayal of women, sex, friendship and life in New York to a mainstream audience.

As the iconic TV show, which starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, reaches the quarter-century milestone, we take a look at where its actors are today.

Sarah Jessica Parker (aka Carrie Bradshaw)

After leaving Carrie Bradshaw behind (the first time), Parker focused on her big screen career, starring in films such as The Family Stone and Failure to Launch. She also returned to the stage (where she got her start), starring in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying alongside her future husband, Matthew Broderick.

Parker, 58, also capitalised on her status as a fashion icon by creating a clothing line named Bitten for Steve & Barry’s, and a shoe collection for Nordstrom’s called the SJP Collection.

Even though she stated that she’d never do a TV show again, she returned to TV for a guest spot on the fourth season of Glee in 2012. Five years later, Parker announced that she was starring in a new HBO comedy called Divorce. The show ended in 2019 after three seasons.

Now, after reprising her role as Carrie in And Just Like That, the SATC revival, she’ll be doing so again in the show’s second season, which airs on HBO on June 22.

Parker and Broderick are one of Hollywood’s longest-lasting marriages, and co-starred in the Neil Simon play Plaza Suite on Broadway until the show closed during the summer of 2022. The couple have three children: their son, James, and twins Marion and Tabitha.

Kim Cattrall (aka Samantha Jones)

Cattrall’s sexually confident Samantha Jones was the show’s breakout character – the role won her a Golden Globe and five Emmy nominations. But since the show ended, Cattrall, 66, has distanced herself from the spotlight.
