Beyond Manhattan: The Cast’s Major 2025 Projects and The Samantha Jones Question
While AJLT is a central focus, the cast members are all involved in numerous other high-profile ventures, demonstrating their continued relevance and topical authority in the entertainment industry. This section also addresses the ongoing, complex narrative surrounding Kim Cattrall and her iconic character, Samantha Jones.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s Diverse 2025 Endeavors
Sarah Jessica Parker's career in 2025 is a masterclass in diversification, echoing her character Carrie Bradshaw’s own evolution. Beyond filming AJLT Season 3, Parker has made significant moves in the literary world. She was announced as a judge for the prestigious 2025 Booker Prize, cementing her status as a cultural figure. Furthermore, she is expanding her publishing empire with the launch of her own book imprint, SJP Lit, in partnership with Penguin Random House, focusing on fiction. She also made a high-fashion appearance at the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, channeling her inner fashion icon. These projects solidify SJP as a powerhouse producer and tastemaker, not just an actress.
Kim Cattrall’s New Chapter: A Separate Peace
Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones) has firmly established her career outside of the SATC franchise, despite making a brief, non-interactive cameo in AJLT Season 2. Her decision to film her cameo without seeing or speaking to the other stars, including Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon, highlights the persistent, well-documented drama between the two leads.
Cattrall continues to thrive with a slate of major new projects in 2025. She has multiple television and film roles in the works, including a newly announced BBC drama. Her success in other series, such as *How I Met Your Father*, shows that the character of Samantha Jones is not the only role that defines her career. This separation allows Cattrall to pursue diverse, compelling roles that keep her at the forefront of the industry.
Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon: Activism and New Media
Both Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are heavily invested in projects outside of their AJLT roles. Cynthia Nixon, a long-time political activist, continues her work as a prominent voice in social and political issues. She also maintains her acting career on stage and screen, including her role in HBO’s *The Gilded Age*.
Kristin Davis (Charlotte) is expanding her role as a producer and has entered the world of new media by launching a new podcast, demonstrating her commitment to different forms of storytelling and media production in 2025. The two actresses also maintain a close personal relationship, having been seen together at a recent New York theater gala, a sweet reunion for fans.
The original Sex and the City cast, now in their late 50s and 60s, are showing the world that friendship, fashion, and ambition never truly age. With the return of And Just Like That... and a host of individual career achievements, the legacy of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha continues to evolve, proving that the most exciting stories are those that are still being written.
