In a statement, posted on its official website, the streamer said that the first two episodes of the much-awaited series, titled “And Just Like That…”, will drop on December 9 with the following eight episodes premiering weekly on subsequent Thursdays.
The 10-episode revival series will bring back cast members Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis from the original series. Kim Cattrall, who famously played Samantha Jones in the original “Sex and the City” series and the two film adaptation, is not returning to the revival.
