Actors Nicole Ari Parker, Sara RamArez, Sarita Choudhury and Karen Pittman are joining the cast of the ‘Sex and the City’ revival, but the reboot will also tackle issues around race.
“I’m excited to be a part of something that’s different for them,” Ari Parker told variety.com.
“We can talk about the elephant in the room that there were no fully fleshed-out characters of colour, but now here’s the four of us. We’re real people, and they’ve been great to work with, and some of our (storylines) deal with race and deal with real experiences. It’s New York City.”

Patrick King added: “His spirit and his dedication to his craft was present every day filming ‘And Just Like That.’ He was there giving us his all even while he was sick. His multitude of gifts as an actor and person will be missed by everyone. In this sad, dark moment we are comforted by our memory of his joy and light.”
