Parker provides the voiceover for the trailer, as she's heard narrating: "They say some things never change but the truth is life is full of surprises. And as your story unfolds, the city reinvents itself, and just like that a new chapter begins."

One after another guest stars of the new series are seen, including Noth, as Mr Big, who kisses Parker in their kitchen.

The show follows Carrie Bradshaw (Parker), Miranda Hobbs (Nixon), and Charlotte York (Davis), who are now in their 50s.

The original series was based on characters from Candace Bushnell’s 1996 book of the same title. Created by Darren Star, it ran for six seasons between 1998 and 2004 and was then spun into two follow-up films.

It also inspired the 2013-14 prequel series “The Carrie Diaries” from Amy B. Harris, who was a writer and co-producer on Sex and the City.

Over the run of the series, the show picked up seven Emmy Awards, including lead comedy actress for Parker in 2004, supporting comedy actress for Nixon in 2004, comedy directing for King in 2002, and comedy series in 2001.

It also won two SAG Awards for comedy ensemble (in 2002 and 2004) and an individual comedy actress SAG Award for Parker in 2001, among other accolades.

Parker told Vanity Fair earlier this year that there is so much up in the air for the ladies.

"I think that Cynthia, Kristin, and I are all excited about the time that has passed. You know, who are they in this world now? Have they adapted? What part have they played? Where have they fallen short as women, as friends, and how are they finding their way?

"Did they move with momentum? Are they like some people who are confused, threatened, nervous [by what's happening in the world]? I'm so curious and excited to see how the writers imagine these women today."

In September she told Entertainment Weekly: "I would be so curious to see how Carrie would handle the pandemic.

"Having to take a few minutes to figure out who's going to the grocery store? How are they dealing with masks? Has she seen anybody else? How seriously did they take the quarantine and the lockdown?

"And I'm sure Big and Carrie took it seriously. But if she was single, how would she have functioned? I'd like to think that she'd handle it well with a good friend and check in on those she loved. But who knows?"
