=== Canceled third film ===
In 2016, rumors circulated that a script for the third and final film had been approved. However, on September 28, 2017, Sarah Jessica Parker announced to [[Extra (American TV program)|''Extra'']] that the film had been cancelled, stating, "I'm disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story. It's not just disappointing that we don't get to tell the story and have that experience, but more so for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another movie."<ref>{{cite web |date=September 28, 2017 |title=Sarah Jessica Parker Confirms There Will Be No 'Sex and the City 3' |url=http://extratv.com/2017/09/28/sarah-jessica-parker-confirms-there-will-be-no-sex-and-the-city-3/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171023010833/http://extratv.com/2017/09/28/sarah-jessica-parker-confirms-there-will-be-no-sex-and-the-city-3/ |archive-date=October 23, 2017 |access-date=October 22, 2017 |work=[[Extra (American TV program)|Extra]]}}</ref> It was reported that Kim Cattrall did not want to be involved in the film after learning of storylines where Mr. Big dies of a heart attack and Samantha receives sexting and nude pictures from Miranda's teenage son Brady.
