Sarah Jessica Parker thrilled her fans on Friday when she shared photos of the script to the highly-anticipated Sex And The City revival And Just Like That.
The actress, 56, was at a table read for the new series which has been in the works for years. Her co-stars will be Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, among others, but not Kim Cattrall who asked to not be in the series.
It was noted on the script that it had to be turned in at the end of the table read as producers want to keep the plot secret.
