Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker beef explained
SARAH Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall are two of the four main stars of the Sex and the City franchise.
A reboot of the hugely popular series is expected to launch on HBO Max - without Cattrall.
Why does Kim Cattrall have a beef with Sarah Jessica Parker?
Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker have been in a public feud for years.
Sex and the City writer and executive producer Michael Patrick King said the relationship between SJP and Cattrall was rough.
"The show doesn't exist if Sarah Jessica wasn't the blonde star of the show, that's number one," King told .
"Kim was not at the height of her career, Kristin was under her in terms of notability, Cynthia was a theatre actor - and their contracts reflected that status.
Will Kim Cattrall be in the Sex and the City reboot?
The 64-year-old actress will not return for the new show.
The insider added that Kim - who starred as Samantha Jones - would not return for the reboot.
The original series, which ran on HBO from 1998-2004, also starred Sarah Jessica as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes, and Kristin Davis as Charlotte York.
