Julie Halston is returning to the world of Sex and the City, as Deadline is reporting that the actress will reprise her role as Bitsy Von Muffling in HBO Max’s sequel series And Just Like That…
Halston made a few appearances throughout the history of the highly popular show, taking on the role of a New York socialite who was married to Bobby Fine, a flamboyant cabaret singer. The last time the actress appeared in the show was during the show’s sixth season. It’s unknown whether or not Nathan Lane, who was in the show as Bitsy’s husband, will appear, but HBO seems intent on getting many familiar faces involved for its upcoming series.
The original Sex and the City series was set and shot in New York City, Nominated for over 50 Emmy Awards and winning seven, the HBO show had 94 episodes broadcast over six seasons, premiering on June 6, 1998, and concluding on February 22, 2004. It was followed by a Sex and the City movie in 2008, which was followed by Sex and the City 2 in 2010, both of which were successful at the box office. A Sex and the City 3 was developed in 2016 but ultimately canceled reportedly due to co-star Kim Cattrall’s unwillingness to revisit the part of Samantha. Cattrall does not appear to be involved in the revival either.
