Sarah Jessica Parker[1] may not support Cynthia Nixon[2]’s campaign for governor of New York, and her silence dooms any possibility of a third “Sex and the City” movie, sources say.
While other castmates have endorsed Nixon’s challenge of Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the Democratic nomination, Parker, who played Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO hit, has been mum.
Through her spokeswoman, Ina Treciokas, Parker said, “Cynthia has been my friend and colleague since we were little girls. I look forward to talking to her about her New York state gubernatorial bid.”
Since Parker already had a falling out with Kim Cattrall[3] (Samantha), a schism with Nixon (Miranda) could obliterate the show’s premise that four career-driven Manhattan women can bond over Cosmos and support their BFFs through thick and thin.
“HBO is afraid the fallout will hurt viewership of the reruns and hurt the franchise,” one insider told me.
HBO had no comment.
Until Nixon became a political candidate,[4] Parker was still hoping there might be some way she could star in a second sequel to the “Sex and the City” movie.
“They could maybe do it without Cattrall, but they can’t do without Nixon, too,” said my source.
