It has been 25 years since the iconic series “Sex and the City” first premiered, and the stars are coming together to celebrate its enduring impact. The show, based on Candace Bushnell’s column of the same name, debuted in 1998 and became a cultural phenomenon, pushing boundaries with its candid portrayal of sex, relationships, and female friendships.
The groundbreaking HBO series ran for six seasons, evolving from a bedroom farce to a captivating dramedy, all while maintaining its fabulous sense of style. The success of “Sex and the City” also led to two feature films and the recent continuation series, “And Just Like That…,” which is set to premiere its second season later this month.
To commemorate the milestone, the cast members took to social media to express their gratitude and reflect on their experiences. Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte York, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, acknowledging the show’s ability to connect people and expressing her joy in being a part of it. Cynthia Nixon, known for her role as Miranda Hobbes, shared a “How it started, how it’s going” post, emphasizing how the show transformed her life.
Creator Candace Bushnell also joined in the celebration, sharing a throwback photo from the pilot episode on her Instagram. Mario Cantone, who portrayed Anthony Marentino, expressed his gratitude to be a part of both the show and the films. The official HBO Instagram account posted a video featuring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis reminiscing about the past 25 years and thanking the fans for their support.
After the series finale in 2004, the “Sex and the City” movie was released in 2008, followed by a sequel in 2010. In 2021, Parker, Davis, and Nixon reunited for the continuation series “And Just Like That…,” which explores new themes while maintaining the show’s focus on female friendships and navigating life’s challenges.
The second season of “And Just Like That…” is set to premiere on June 22nd, continuing the legacy of “Sex and the City” and captivating audiences with its relatable stories and beloved characters.
