I was a big SATC fan back in the day, but after the disaster that was the second movie, I'm not sure about this new show! I'll watch it of course, just don't have very high expectations.

I think the opening scene of this show will be Carrie, Miranda & Charlotte at Samantha's funeral, thus laying Samantha Jones to rest once and for all. I was never a fan of Big, so he can go too! My favourite of Carrie's boyfriend's was Aidan, but that's not saying much since she dated some awful guys, and at least he was a pretty decent person. I might do a bit of a re-watch before this new show. It's been a long time!
 
I found miranda and samantha the funniest of the four. Sometimes there were things that happened to them that I could in some way relate to.... all except for insufferable carrie. Claudia winkleman's shampoo ad phrase suits her down to the ground an annoying personality vacuum.
Her constant whinging, self reflection and naval gazing and every conversation revolved around men.
Also, while she did have a gorgeous collection of shoes, some of the quirky high fashion outfits looked ridiculous ott. Who wears an outfit like this to go an get chinese takeaway 👇😬

See carries outfits were the only thing I enjoyed about her character
 
They seemingly planned to kill Big off in the 3rd movie they had written but Kim Cattrall refused to participate in. Maybe they'll follow the same storyline but kill Samantha off instead.

I wouldn't like to see her killed off though. Have any of the other characters confirmed whether they'll be in it too? Like Harry/Stanford/Steve?

Edit: wtf I've just read on Wikipedia that Kim Cattrall refused the 3rd movie as they had written into the script her dealing with sexting and nude pictures with Brady (Miranda and Steve's son). That's a step too far IMO.

I’m not surprised at this at all. I remember reading that when SJP became a producer on the show (around season 3 maybe?) Samantha’s sex scenes became more frequent and ever more explicit/ridiculous and Kim Cattrall felt the character became a joke figure.
 
I was only young (under 10) when this was on the TV but I loved it! It's a series I've watched over and over again (much like friends) and I've missed the show. The movies were OK. First better than second but I enjoyed them.

I'm excited it's coming back, I definitely think they're going to kill off Samantha! Such a shame she's not returning but I can't wait nevertheless.

Did anyone watch the Carrie Diaries? I never bothered with it but wondering if I should give it a try?

The Carrie Diaries was only decent when they introduced Samantha who was PERFECTLY cast. I like the lead actress in other projects but she was miscast as a young SJP.

It's Sex and the City, without the other 3 girls, and no actual sex. So Carrie whining a lot really.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I watched it when it first came out a few years ago.

Well, they've said they've introduced two new BAME characters. Which isn't an issue in and of itself, I just hope they don't feel "shoehorned in" like Jennifer Hudson. I think the original series was criticised for (along with lack of diversity), stereotyping gay characters, poking fun at bisexuals etc. It's bound to be a bit 'woke' when it comes back.
