One of the most popular sitcoms of the '90s, Sex and the City, might get a reboot on HBO Max. While the rumors of the reboot are getting swirled, Kim Cattrall opened up about keeping herself away from the sitcom or the film series.

The 64-year-old actress revealed that she feels great to be able to stay away from the series. In an interview with Women's Prize for Fiction podcast, Cattrall reflected on the misery she received amid backlash.

The actress declared a couple of months ago that she wouldn't participate in the third installment of the film series or the sitcom. However, the sitcom's last episode was aired in 2004, while two sequels of the movie were released in 2008 and 2010.

However, Cattrall confirmed that she doesn't wish to portray her Samantha Jones' character again following the rumors of the former cast might participate in the upcoming project. However, the actress admitted that shooting the series was absolutely fun, and she loved exploring the new territory.

"Walking away, even if it's the only thing to do, you always feel it's a bit of shame, I think. The taste of shame and you have to let go of that you don't want to become that caged bird," she explained. The actress further shed light on the major backlash she received on social media and said that people wanted her to be miserable like them.

She disclosed that the people on the internet told her to swallow her negative experiences, if any, and move ahead to reprise her character in the upcoming series. Cattrall recalled how one of the fans wrote her about working in a bank and not liking the fellow employee, yet the fan kept working in the bank.

Given that, the fan advice the actress to keep working despite any bad experience. The actress further emphasized having the power to choose her own career path without any pressure. Cattrall said that she considers herself lucky enough to make choices at this stage of her career.

In fact, she is extremely protective of the freedom she has to choose projects, while she also noted that if she does something that she doesn't want to do, she wouldn't be good at it. Moreover, she acknowledged her age and said that she wanted to tell stories that belong to her age group, who has lost close family members.
