And Just Like That...We Get a Sex and the City Revival Series on HBO Max; Are You Afraid of the Dark? Season 2 Date Revealed

HBO Max has given a series order to And Just Like That..., a new chapter of the groundbreaking HBO series, Sex and the City, from executive producer Michael Patrick King and starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. The new Max Original series is based on the book, Sex and the City, by Candice Bushnell and the original TV series created by Darren Star. The series will follow Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30's to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50's. The ten-episode, half-hour series is scheduled to begin production in New York late spring. Kim Catrall is the only one of the four original stars not attached to this project. No word if Kim Catrall will make any appearances or not, but she is not part of the regular cast. The original series ran on HBO from 1998-2004 and was followed by two feature films in 2008 and 2010, along with a prequel series on The CW called The Carrie Diaries from 2013-15. This series will be executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Michael Patrick King.
