In a surprising turn of events, it has been uncovered that Sarah Jessica Parker almost didn’t portray the beloved character Carrie Bradshaw in the popular show “Sex and the City.” During a recent interview, it was revealed that her co-stars Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon both auditioned for the role of Carrie. In fact, Davis even read for Parker’s character during the audition process, as there were doubts about whether Parker would accept the role.
In an appearance on the “And Just Like That… Writer’s Room” podcast, Davis recalled her reaction to being asked to read for Parker’s character. She found it amusing but firmly declined the offer, stating, “That is adorable, but I can’t play that part! Whatcha thinking? I mean, hello!” Davis admitted that she felt a stronger connection to the character of Charlotte rather than Carrie.
Similarly, Nixon revealed that she initially auditioned for the role of Carrie before ultimately landing the role of the sassy attorney Miranda Hobbes. Nixon explained that the character of Miranda was quite different from her previous roles, where she typically played more submissive characters. She shared how she auditioned multiple times for the role and even tested for the show. However, producers didn’t respond immediately, and she only secured the part months later.
“Sex and the City” also featured Kim Cattrall, who portrayed the alluring publicist Samantha Jones. The show ran from 1998 to 2004, spanning six seasons on HBO. In 2020, it was announced that the show would be revived with a spinoff series titled “And Just Like That…,” which includes Nixon, Parker, and Davis. The first episode aired in December 2021 on Max (formerly known as HBO Max), and the second season is scheduled for release on June 22. Notably, Cattrall chose not to join the spinoff due to rumors of a feud with the cast.
However, there is an unexpected twist in the upcoming season, as it was exclusively revealed that Cattrall will make a “cliffhanger” cameo appearance. The news came as a surprise, as her involvement was kept secret, with her name not even appearing on the call sheet. Show staffers were reportedly shocked and excited about her return.
In summary, the journey of casting the iconic roles in “Sex and the City” was an interesting one, with Davis and Nixon auditioning for the role of Carrie Bradshaw before ultimately finding their perfect fits as Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes, respectively. Cattrall’s absence from the spinoff created speculation, but her unexpected cameo appearance has generated excitement among fans and the show’s staff.
