Kristin Davis Says “And Just Like That…” Talks to the Times
Now 56, Kristin Davis has stepped back into her iconic role as Charlotte Brando‑Goldblatt for the Sex & the City sequel, and she’s been blunt about how this new chapter is anything but a throw‑back.
Why a New Title?
When asked about the title change, Davis shrugged with a grin: “The whole point was to signal a fresh chapter. The name alone tells you this isn’t the same old show.”
Re‑uniting With Old Friends
- Sarah Jessica Parker – always fabulous.
- Cynthia Nixon – ready for another comeback.
- The trio’s chemistry? Still electric.
“Modern Times, Modern Women”
“We didn’t want people looking for the same vibes as the original because the world has shifted,” Davis told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s about today’s realities, not yesterday’s sitcom snags.”
Facing Backlash With a Smile
Just last month, Davis confessed her frustration over critics who question why the revival even matters. She compared the backlash to a movie remake chain‑reaction: “Why bring them back? Do women’s lives still feel bland? There’re no ‘why re‑do a movie?’ questions for women’s stories.”
It’s About Evolving Women
She added, “There’s a peculiar hesitation to watch women grow over time, and that’s what this show dives into.”
What About Samantha Jones?
Kim Cattrall didn’t reprise her Samantha role, yet Davis reassured fans that the lion’s fluff won’t be left out. “We honor Samantha; she’s part of the narrative now. That’s how we’re keeping the spirit alive.”
Bottom Line
With a fresh title, a kitted‑back crew, and a focus on real‑world stories—plus a dash of humor—Kristin Davis is steering “And Just Like That…” toward a future that’s as intriguing today as it was on the original setup.
