Nearly 30 years after “Sex and the City” first aired, Carrie Bradshaw and her friends are still finding their way onto Gen Zer's screens. Young women are now posting TikTok confessionals about their own “Mr. Big,” even sharing videos and texts from their situationships, relating their own lives to the show and seeking advice from other viewers.
“It makes all of us very happy that there is this new generation that is watching and enjoying — or consuming — and maybe objecting to things about the show,” Sarah Jessica Parker says. “That’s the way it always was with our audience. We welcome their thoughts and feelings, and I personally am very touched to be part of their lives.”
The show’s resurgence speaks to how deeply its themes still resonate: love, ambition, friendship, and navigating relationships against an ever-evolving dating scene. But while Parker's character Carrie is known for dispensing advice in voiceovers and columns, Parker is far less comfortable in that role.
“I always loathe to give advice,” she says. “Everybody’s life is so different, and the things that they have available to them might be different for you than it is for someone else.”
Still, when asked, Parker offers one piece of it — one she admits is far from glamorous.
