The Untold Truth Of Sex And The City

After six seasons and two films, the world of "Sex and the City" returned in 2021 with a brand new show starring many members of the original cast.

As showrunner Michael Patrick King told Vogue, the reboot picked up things with the original cast now in their 50s. As far as King was concerned, showcasing the sex lives of 50-year-old women was somewhat revolutionary. "There were a lot of positive reactions, but one bitchy response online was people sharing pictures of the Golden Girls. And I was like, 'Wow, so it's either you're 35, or you're retired and living in Florida. There's a missing chapter here,'" King said.

The reboot was also a chance to bring people some much-needed nostalgia. As actress Sarah Jessica Parker explained, the show was like comfort food for fans — which made it perfect for a world in the midst of a pandemic. "We spoke about what we were missing in the pandemic: joy, community, the experience of being together," she said. "The world of Carrie and her friends has always been about coming home, and I felt like we needed that right now."
