Cynthia Nixon has said that she doesn't think the Sex and the City series should continue.

The Darren Star-created series - based on Candice Bushnell's book of the same name - originally ran as a serial drama on HBO between 1998 and 2004, and was followed up with two movies.

Sex and the City 2 was met with a host of negative critical reviews, although it grossed over $280 million ($173.6 million) worldwide upon its release two years ago.

Nixon is quoted as telling The Hollywood Reporter when asked if she was hoping for a third movie: "No, no. I think we had a wonderful ride. I think it's fine to let it go."

Her former co-star Kristin Davis said earlier this year that she would "love" to do another film.

Sarah Jessica Parker has said that while she is unsure that a third Sex and the City movie would be made at present, she holds out hope that it could happen in the future.

A Sex and the City prequel series - The Carrie Diaries - will debut in January 2013 on The CW.

In July 2013, Kate joined the DS staff team as chief sub-editor and following six years as the site's managing editor, their role expanded to incorporate Hearst UK's entertainment portfolio (including Digital Spy and its sibling titles Best and Inside Soap) between late 2024 and early 2026.
  Kate has worked as a writer and editor since 2006, with bylines syndicated across the Hearst network and at organisations including Metro. They started their career as a TV production runner for the BBC and contributed to various music websites, blogs and zines while based in Manchester.

   Kate's screen passions include Taskmaster (their biggest career regret remains turning down the opportunity to visit the house), nature documentaries, and live sport (up there with the greatest of all soap operas although if asked to choose, it's Corrie… every time).
   Her highlights while working at DS have included interviewing Stevie Nicks on the red carpet for her documentary In Your Dreams, sitting at a press roundtable with Formula 1 commentary icon Murray Walker, watching a life-sized LEGO car being driven around Silverstone, writing an album-by-album retrospective of Lady Gaga's genre-defying career for Living Legends, and raising awareness of receiving and understanding a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis through the lens of Bianca and Freddie's EastEnders storyline.
 Upon remembering to log off the internet, Kate enjoys live theatre, dance and comedy, appreciating nature, baking (badly), tending a recently-rented allotment (equally badly) and pampering one very spoiled rescue cat named Jolene.
