Sex And The City has become a legendary show, and we won’t be wrong in saying that it will soon become a cult classic. The series had all the elements that viewers still find relatable – characters with third-world problems like relationships, careers and love. Its sequel, And Just Like That, took the relatability aspect of the series to a whole new level and gave the audience more reasons to love Samatha Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw.
While the OG show did fairly well (even had its two stand-alone movies), the revival and sequel is performing adequately. But did you know there was a time once when there were rumours about the SATC prequel? Shocker, right? What’s even more surprising is the fact that neither the makers nor SJP were in its favour. Scroll on to learn more.
While talking to LA Times, Sarah Jessica Parker said that she simply did not want people to think about making a prequel to Sex And The City as it would be unfair in every possible way. She said, “I was like, ‘Wha-a-a-a-t? I don’t begrudge any 21-year-old the opportunity to tell their stories. They prove to us on an everyday basis that they’re interesting. Even their narcissism is interesting. Even their inertia is interesting. Even their tonal speech patterns are interesting. But I don’t think we can pretend to go back. It’s creating two histories. It’s like, ‘Oh I didn’t know that about Carrie Bradshaw.’”
