Cynthia Nixon reportedly considered not joining her fellow "Sex and the City" cast members for the series reboot.
According to the News Corp's Herald Sun, Nixon said "It was a very hard decision" when it came to reviving her character of Miranda Hobbes in "And Just Like That" for HBO Max. (CNN and HBO are both part of WarnerMedia.)
"I really didn't think I was going to do it -- I was very reluctant," she was quoted as saying. "But the more I talked to Sarah Jessica, [writer-creator] Michael Patrick King, and Kristin [Davis], about the things that I couldn't go back without -- a real sea change in terms of the lack of diversity in the original series, they were on board."
