Sarah Jessica Parker admits she avoids watching her own performances.

The new series, minus Kim Cattrall who declined to return to the franchise, premiered in December 2021. Cattrall made a brief cameo during the Season 2 finale.
Parker's personal family viewing habits mirror her own preferences. She revealed that her 13-year-old twins, Tabitha and Marion, have not yet seen the franchise, while their 22-year-old son, James Wilkie, has only watched a few episodes due to school commitments. Parker suggested that her children may revisit the series in the future, stating, "they'll get no pressure from me."
