But with confirmation the one and only Samantha (and her iconic sexcapades) will not be a part of the reboot, many have been left scratching their heads wondering what the hell happened!

Rumours have often suggested there is a rift between co-stars Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP). But it wasn't until recently that those rumours became absolute fact.

The estranged friendship between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker.

From reports, it appears that things were never exactly peachy between Cattrall and SJP.

In 2017, Cattrall did an interview with Piers Morgan, noting that she and SJP were colleagues, never friends.

"The common ground that we had was the series, and the series is over. Sarah Jessica, she could have been nicer ... I don’t know what her issue is. I never have," Cattrall said.

Despite this, the very public final nail in the coffin for Cattrall and SJP was actually when Cattrall announced via Instagram that her brother had died.

Days later, the actress thanked her fans and colleagues for sending her family support and sympathies. Except there was one colleague in particular that Cattrall was not happy to have heard from: SJP.

Cattrall once again took to Instagram with a post saying "I don't need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker."

She continued: "Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona."

Peoplesources revealed at the time that SJP had both publicly and privately sent her condolences to Cattrall.

When asked about the estranged relationship on Watch What Happens Live ,SJP told host Andy Cohen she was "heartbroken".

"I found it very upsetting because that's not the way I recall our experience. I always think what ties us together is this experience: it was a professional experience, but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives."

In response to the interview Cattrall did with Piers Morgan, SJP clarified to People that from her perspective, she had never fought with Cattrall.

"I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing that part. So there was no fight: it was completely fabricated, because I actually never responded. And I won't, because she needed to say what she needed to say, and that is her privilege," SJP said.

Cattrall allegesSex And The Cityfilming was a "toxic" work environment.

The New York Post published an article in 2017, titled: 'Inside the mean girl's culture that destroyedSex And The City.'
