The legacy of Sex and the City 2 (2010) continues to dominate pop culture, even over a decade later. As of December 2025, the original cast members are all navigating major career shifts, from starring in a highly anticipated third season of the sequel series And Just Like That... (AJLT) to dramatic returns to the stage and screen. This deep dive reveals the most current, fresh, and often surprising updates on the actors who brought Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda—and their men—to life in the controversial, yet unforgettable, Abu Dhabi-set film.

The film, which saw the four friends escape New York for an extravagant trip, marked the last time the core quartet appeared together on screen before the contentious split that led to the Max revival. Understanding where the cast is now is crucial for any fan following the ongoing New York saga.

The Core Four: Where Are Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda Now?

The main cast of Sex and the City 2 has been the subject of continuous media attention, largely due to the creation of the spin-off, And Just Like That.... Here is a look at their current status and latest projects, with several major developments confirmed for 2025.

1. Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw)

Biography Profile:

  • Character: Carrie Bradshaw (Writer, Fashion Icon)
  • Born: March 25, 1965 (Age 60 in 2025)

  • Current Status (Dec 2025): Filming/Promoting And Just Like That... Season 3; Active Producer and Entrepreneur.

Sarah Jessica Parker remains the undisputed face of the franchise. In 2025, her primary focus is the highly anticipated third season of And Just Like That..., where her character, Carrie Bradshaw, continues to navigate life, loss, and new relationships in Manhattan.

Beyond acting, Parker is expanding her role as a curator and entrepreneur. She has made appearances at major fashion events, including a surprise showing at the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Furthermore, her book publishing imprint, SJP Lit, is launching new fiction titles in 2025, solidifying her status as a literary tastemaker beyond her on-screen persona.

2. Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones)

  • Current Status (Dec 2025): Confirmed not returning for AJLT Season 3; Active in other TV projects.

The biggest news surrounding the Sex and the City 2 cast continues to be the fractured relationship between Kim Cattrall and the main series. Cattrall famously declined to return for the revival, but made a much-discussed, non-filmed cameo in the Season 2 finale of And Just Like That..., finally giving fans a glimpse of Samantha Jones again.

However, Cattrall has officially confirmed that this cameo was a one-off and she will not be returning for AJLT Season 3, choosing instead to focus on other television roles.

A celebrated stage actress, Nixon is also set to return to the New York theatre world in early 2025, starring in the play *The Seven Year Disappear*.

In a move to further engage with the franchise’s topical authority, Davis launched a new iHeartRadio podcast in late 2024 titled "Are You a...", which aims to "continue the conversation" about the characters and themes of Sex and the City.

She also recently appeared on the home renovation show Celebrity I.O.U. in 2024, surprising a close friend with a home makeover.

The Men and Supporting Cast: Controversies and Comebacks

The male cast members of Sex and the City 2 have had a particularly tumultuous decade, marked by scandal, loss, and surprising career pivots. Their current status is heavily tied to their involvement—or non-involvement—in the ongoing revival.

5. Chris Noth (Mr. Big / John Preston)

Chris Noth's character, Mr. Big, met a shocking end in the first season of And Just Like That.... Following the character's death, Noth faced serious allegations that led to his dramatic exit from the franchise and a significant pause in his career.

As of late 2024 and heading into 2025, Noth has been attempting a return to acting. He is set to star in a new horror movie and is returning to the stage in a live radio play of *It's a Wonderful Life* in late 2024, signaling a cautious comeback to the entertainment world.

6. Willie Garson (Stanford Blatch)

The late Willie Garson, who played Carrie’s beloved best friend Stanford Blatch, tragically passed away in 2021 during the filming of the first season of And Just Like That.... His character's sudden departure was woven into the storyline of the revival, leaving a void that fans of the original series and Sex and the City 2 continue to feel.

Garson's final scenes remain a touching tribute to his legacy, and the character of Stanford Blatch is frequently mentioned in the ongoing series, maintaining his topical authority within the universe.

7. Evan Handler (Harry Goldenblatt) and David Eigenberg (Steve Brady)

The husbands of Charlotte and Miranda, Harry Goldenblatt and Steve Brady, played by Evan Handler and David Eigenberg respectively, have been integral to the And Just Like That... storyline.

Evan Handler's character, Harry, continues to provide stability in Charlotte’s life, while David Eigenberg's Steve Brady has been at the center of Miranda's major life changes in the revival. Both actors are confirmed to return for AJLT Season 3, serving as crucial supporting entities in the evolving New York narrative.

8. Mario Cantone (Anthony Marantino)

Mario Cantone, who plays the sharp-tongued wedding planner Anthony Marantino, has also returned to the franchise. Following the death of his on-screen husband, Stanford Blatch, Anthony has taken on a more central role, often acting as a confidant to Carrie. Cantone is confirmed to be a key player in the upcoming season of And Just Like That....

Topical Authority: The SATC Universe in 2025

The collective careers of the Sex and the City 2 cast are now inextricably linked to the success and controversies of the HBO Max revival. The major themes driving the conversation in late 2024 and 2025 are:

  • The Kim Cattrall Factor: Her Season 2 cameo and outright refusal to return for Season 3 continues to be the biggest storyline, feeding the curiosity of fans about the future of Samantha Jones.
  • The Evolution of Miranda Hobbes: Cynthia Nixon’s character has undergone the most dramatic transformation—from a high-powered lawyer to a student and political activist—a change that remains a major talking point.
  • The Mr. Big Legacy: Chris Noth's post-scandal career attempts are closely monitored, with his new projects being viewed through the lens of his former iconic role.
  • SJP as a Power Producer: Sarah Jessica Parker’s influence extends beyond acting, with her SJP Lit imprint and producer role on AJLT solidifying her position as a creative force.

As the cast members of *Sex and the City 2* move forward, their careers reflect a blend of nostalgia and dramatic reinvention. With And Just Like That... Season 3 on the horizon in 2025, the conversation about Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha—and the actors who play them—is only getting louder.
