On the contrary, their actresses continue to work actively in film, television, theater, and beyond. By 2026, each of the four stars of the franchise has followed their own path: some returned to familiar roles in a revival, some consciously stepped away from the project, and others completely shifted their professional focus. The XAB.info editorial team has gathered up-to-date data on what Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis are doing today. ### Sarah Jessica Parker: From Carrie Bradshaw to Business Empires Sarah Jessica Parker remains the most recognizable star of the franchise: in 2026, the actress turned 61, and she continues to attract public attention with her fashion choices and participation in major cultural events. After the original series ended, she did not limit herself to the role of Carrie Bradshaw: she acted in films, worked in television and theater, and built her own business empire. Under the SJP Collection brand, she produces footwear, a fragrance line, and develops the SJP Lit publishing imprint. In 2021, Parker returned to her signature role in the series "And Just Like That...", where she also served as an executive producer. The project concluded after three seasons in August 2025. In 2026, the actress focused on new projects: she will return to filming a continuation of the Christmas comedy "The Family Stone" and will reprise her role as Sarah Sanderson in the third part of "Hocus Pocus 3". ### Kim Cattrall: 70 years old, a new marriage, and distance from the franchise Kim Cattrall, who played the vibrant Samantha Jones, celebrated her 70th birthday in August 2026. The actress remains recognizable today due to her elegant style and striking appearances at social events. After "Sex and the City," she continued to work in film, television, and theater: notable projects include the series "Sensitive Skin," "Tell Me a Story," and the reboot of "Queer as Folk." Unlike her colleagues, Cattrall did not become a permanent cast member of the "And Just Like That..." revival: in 2023, she briefly returned as Samantha in one of the episodes of the second season, but subsequently decided not to join the main cast. Changes also occurred in her personal life: in December 2025, Cattrall married sound engineer Russell Thomas, with whom she had been dating for nearly a decade. The ceremony took place in London among a small circle of close friends. In 2026, the actress returned to radio work, including joining the BBC Radio 4 drama "Central Intelligence," and discussed two new projects currently in development. ### Cynthia Nixon: From Miranda Hobbes to "The Gilded Age" and social activism Cynthia Nixon, who turned 60 in 2026, built a diverse career after "Sex and the City," not limiting herself to comedic roles. One of her most notable projects in recent years has been the HBO historical series "The Gilded Age," where she plays Ada Brook. Nixon continues to work in theater, where she has received numerous professional awards. Beyond acting, she is known for her social activism: in 2018, she ran for Governor of New York but lost the Democratic primary to the incumbent governor at the time, Andrew Cuomo. In the "And Just Like That..." revival, she returned as Miranda Hobbes, and after the series ended, she continued to work on other television and theatrical projects. In her personal life, the actress is married to activist Christine Marinoni; the couple raises their son Max, and Nixon also has two children from a previous relationship. ### Kristin Davis: Charlotte York and a podcast about the show's behind-the-scenes Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte York, celebrated her 61st birthday in 2026. After the success of "Sex and the City," she continued to act in film and television, although this series remains the most famous work of her career. She returned to the role of Charlotte in both feature films based on the show, and then in "And Just Like That...", where the character appeared as an adult woman balancing family life, parenting, and her own professional interests. After the series ended, Davis was not in a hurry to say goodbye to her character: in her own podcast, "Are You a Charlotte?", she discusses the show's history, the characters, and behind-the-scenes details of the work. In October 2026, the actress spoke about a possible return of the franchise, admitting she finds it hard to believe the story of these characters will never be continued. However, there was no official announcement of a new project at the time of publication. Outside of work, Davis raises two adopted children and is involved in charity. ### Context: Tensions within the team and fan attention It is also worth noting that the franchise still maintains high attention from fans and the press. According to the Mirror, in 2026, public attention was drawn to the fact that Chris Noth, who played Mr. Big, was the only member of the team to publicly congratulate Kim Cattrall on her 70th birthday on Instagram. Previously, in 2021, Noth stated in an interview with The Guardian that he was close with Sarah Jessica Parker and condemned the negative comments directed at her. Rumors of tension between Parker and Cattrall emerged during the filming of the original series and were never fully resolved. Nevertheless, none of the actresses publicly commented on these relations in 2026, and all four performers continue to develop their own career paths, independent of the "Sex and the City" franchise. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Сара Джессика Паркер, Ким Кэтролл и другие актеры "Секса в большом городе": карьера после культового сериала](https://styler.rbc.ua/ukr/trends/sara-dzhessika-parker-kim-ketroll-ta-inshi-1794387204.html) - Main source: detailed overview of the four actresses' careers, business projects, end dates of "And Just Like That...", new projects of 2026, personal events. - ["Мистер Биг" наделал шума: фанаты удивлены поворотом в войне Сары Джессики Паркер и Ким Кэтролл](https://www.unian.net/lite/stars/kim-ketroll-i-sara-dzhessika-parker-u-seks-i-misto-svarki-ta-skandali-mizh-aktorami-13106718.html) - Context about the tension between Parker and Cattrall, Chris Noth's reaction on Instagram, Noth's 2021 Guardian interview quote. - [70 лет Саманте: как Ким Кэттролл порвала с «Сексом» и почему Паркер до сих пор это не простила](https://life.ru/p/1913728) - Confirmation of Cattrall's birth date (21.08.1956), biographical data, reasons for separation from the franchise. - [Звезды сериала "Секс в большом городе" тронули воссоединением - пришли не все](https://www.unian.net/lite/stars/sara-dzhessika-parker-otrimala-prestizhnu-nagorodu-privitati-jiji-priyshli-ne-vsi-13250277.html) - Confirmation of the actresses' reunion at a social event, Parker's age (60 at the time of the event). ## FAQ ### Is the series "And Just Like That..." finished?
