Before Cynthia Nixon was lying to us for a living as an actress, she was lying on To Tell the Truth. How awwwdorable was the 8-year-old in that 1974 episode?
Disney+ released the first trailer for Hocus Pocus 2; and I can already hear the excitement to see Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Middler, and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles as the Sanderson Sisters on September 30th.
The sequel is described as “It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters, and they are looking for revenge. Now it is up to three high-school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow’s Eve.”
Did you broom stand at attention after you watched the teaser?
And am I the only one who has never seen the original and has no interest in ever seeing it?
Last week, the curtain finally went up on Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s take of Plaza Suite on Broadway. However, this week, the lights are off for a few performances. That is because the couple and co-stars have both tested positive for COVID-19.
“With both Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker positive for COVID, tonight’s performance of ‘Plaza Suite’ is canceled,” the show’s producers said in a statement to Variety. “The producers apologize for the inconvenience this has caused audience members. Ticket holders should contact their point of sale to reschedule for a future performance or obtain a refund. Everyone wishes Matthew and Sarah Jessica a speedy recovery.”
Broderick got his results right before showtime on Tuesday, and his wife got the same diagnosis today.
Producers did not say when the show will go on again. But, I have a feeling they will wait until they both can resume the production together.
HBO Max gave Sex and the City a sequel series called And Just Like That. Even though it wasn’t as well-received by the fans, the series still had a lot of them. Therefore, the streaming service announced today that it will be back for a second season.
Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content, HBO Max, said, “We have been delighted by the cultural conversation generated by these characters and their stories, set in a world we already know and love so much. We are proud of the work Michael Patrick King and our wonderful writers, producers, cast and crew have done to bring these stories to the screen. We can’t wait for fans to see what’s in store for season 2!”
If HBO Max is smart, then they will stop listening to Cynthia Nixon, who turned the drama into her personal soapbox. We get enough of that IRL. We don’t need it during our break from it.
Are you having a Cosmo in honor of the renewal, or do you want to throw it on them?
Chris Noth’s character, Mr. Big, was killed off in the series premiere of the Sex and the City sequel And Just Like That… Therefore, we thought he was done with appearances on the show. It turns out he was supposed to appear in the season finale.
Well, since the time that he was killed off and the episode that airs on February 3rd, several women have accused Noth of sexual assault. Therefore, the show wants to distance itself from him. So, according to TV Line, he has been edited out of a dream-like sequence with Carrie after she spreads his ashes.
I don’t think anyone will fault the show for doing that. Just like no one faults CBS for firing the actor from The Equalizer after the accusations.
