Another A-list star snubs SATC reprisal on And Just Like That amid Kim Cattrall's feud with Sarah Jessica Parker
Kyle MacLachlan said creative differences have kept him from appearing on the Sex and the City spinoff And Just Like That.
The Emmy-nominated actor, 66, explained on Wednesday to Us Weekly his rationale in not yet reprising the role of Trey MacDougal, the ex-husband of Kristin Davis ' character Charlotte York, on the HBO series.
'Listen, I would love to come back and have fun,' said the actor, also known for his work as FBI special agent Dale Cooper on the iconic 90s mystery Twin Peaks.
The veteran actor, appearing at a God's Love We Deliver's event in New York City on the late June evening, delved into detail about the creative differences he had with producers regarding a comeback to the franchise amid tension between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall.
'What they suggested to me, I said, "I think there should be more." So I just said, "I wonder, if the relationship that Charlotte and Trey had demands a little more than their first idea."'
MacLachlan told the magazine about what he thought would be a good destination for the Trey MacDougal character.
'I had suggested that Trey has maybe moved to Napa and has a very successful winery and label there - you can see where I'm going with this.
He said, 'But no, I actually haven't said anything yet ... it'd be very interesting.'
MacLachlan said that 'regardless' of if he returns or not, he think's the show is 'doing great.'
The actor, who has been seen in films such as Echo Valley, Showgirls and Blue Velvet, had kind words for the principle cast of the HBO series.
And Just Like That has seen Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Davis reprise their respective roles as Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes and York.
Said MacLachlan: 'They're all lovely. And I adore them.'
Cattrall has not appeared on the rebooted show regularly amid years of tension with Parker.
The star did make a shock comeback to the franchise for the reboot two years ago.
She reprised the iconic role of Samantha Jones in the 11th episode of the second season, titled The Last Supper Part Two: Entree.
The episode featuring Cattrall - who reportedly made $1 million for one day of work on the reboot - was first broadcast August 24, 2023.
Sex and the City initially aired June 6, 1998, focusing on 'four female New Yorkers [who] gossip about their sex lives (or lack thereof) and find new ways to deal with a woman in the late 1990s,' a logline for the series read.
It turned out to be a huge smash hit for HBO, and ran for 94 episodes over six seasons, racking up a total of seven Primetime Emmys.

Devil Wears Prada sequel filming is FINALLY underway with Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci confirmed to return - as surprise name joins the cast
Filming for the long-awaited Devil Wears Prada sequel is finally underway, with an Oscar-winning actor set to join the stellar cast alongside returning stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Four-time BAFTA winner Kenneth Branagh, 64, will reportedly play the husband of ice queen fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, according to Deadline. The Harry Potter star will be part of the 20th Century Studios production which is set to be released on May 1 of next year. The British actor has won an Academy Award, four BAFTAs, two Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Olivier Award - and is known for his roles in the likes of Thor and Dunkirk. The upcoming sequel will follow Meryl's iconic character as she navigates the challenges of the declining print magazine industry. She will also be facing off against Emily's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs, per Variety. This comes after news broke last year that a sequel to the 2006 comedy drama that originally starred the Mamma Mia actress, Anne, 42, and Emily, 42, was greenlit at Disney. Last year, the three actresses reunited onstage at the 30th Screen Actors Guild Awards in February 2024 for a skit based on their blockbuster hit movie. Only Streep and Blunt are confirmed to be returning for the follow-up film, which is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026. With the storyline and release date finally unveiled, fans are sharing their mixed reactions. Last July, it was reported that Meryl would be returning alongside Emily, but no other cast members have been officially confirmed yet. Stanley Tucci, who starred in the original movie, also mentioned the forthcoming sequel but did not disclose whether or not he would be reprising his role. 'I know they're working on it. If it happens, I would be so happy, but I cannot give you any information. Otherwise, I'll go to the actor's prison or something,' he told Variety in January. '[The original] was one of the best experiences ever,' he added. About the movie, which comes two decades after the first, many fans shared their excitement as they praised the 'realistic' plot line. However, others slammed the idea of making another movie to follow up the beloved movie as they criticised lazy sequels. The Devil Wears Prada, the original 2006 movie, was based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel about a young journalist's nightmarish experience working at a fashion magazine.

Diddy trial latest: Deliberations begin in Diddy trial - as jury sends note to judge
The jury have begun deliberations in trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs. It comes after a closing argument last week by the music mogul's defence that upped the stakes for the rapper and his accusers. Follow the latest below. 20:38:56 Sketches from the courtroom There have been no cameras in court throughout this trial - because the trial is being held in a federal court. So court sketchers have been there to paint a picture of the atmosphere each day. Artist Jane Rosenberg sketched these images of Sean "Diddy" Combs in the courtroom earlier today. In the first, he confers with his legal team, while in the second he passes a note to one attorney, Marc Agnifilo. The final picture shows Judge Arun Subramanian. 19:36:00 Watch: 'The stakes could not be higher for Diddy' Our US correspondent Martha Kelner is outside the courtroom in Manhattan, New York, as jury deliberations continue. She says Sean "Diddy" Combs spoke to family members after the jurors had been sent out. 18:39:31 Jurors send note After deliberating for just over an hour, jurors sent a note. Both legal teams and Sean "Diddy" Combs returned to the courtroom to hear the details. Jurors say they are concerned there is an issue with one member of the panel not following the judge's instructions. Judge Arun Subramanian asked prosecutors and Combs's defence lawyers for their suggestions on what he should do in response to the jury note. "We have a juror, number 25, who we are concerned cannot follow your honour's instructions," the note said. However, it did not elaborate on which instructions the juror cannot follow. It is not clear yet what will happen next, but there are alternate jurors who have heard the case. We will bring you updates as soon as we have them. 16:33:12 Jury begins deliberations Judge Arun Subramanian gives jurors more instructions about several issues, including the use of pseudonyms, witnesses who testified after being granted immunity, and the defendant's right not to testify - as Sean "Diddy" Combs chose not to. He then tells them they will retire to consider the case, to determine if the prosecutuion has proved Combs's guilt or not. All 12 jurors must be present during deliberations, the judge says, and the decision must be unanimous. They retire to begin their deliberations at 11.30am in New York, so 4.30pm here in the UK. Usual court hours are 9am to 5pm (2pm to 10pm in the UK), but the judge says they can stay later to deliberate if they choose to. We will report back with updates from the courtroom as soon as we have any updates. 16:14:49 Sex-trafficking and transportation for prostitution charges The judge has instructed jurors on the two sex-trafficking charges and the two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. One charge of sex trafficking and one of transportation to engage in prostitution relate to Cassie Ventura, between about 2009 and 2018. One charge of sex trafficking and one of transportation to engage in prostitution relate to Jane*, who testified under a pseudonym, between 2021 and 2024. 15:43:06 What is racketeering conspiracy? Racketeering broadly means engaging in an illegal scheme or enterprise, and the charge falls under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act (RICO) in the US. According to the US justice department's definition of RICO statute, it is also illegal to "conspire to violate" the laws. Combs is accused of violating the statute between 2004 and 2024. Racketeering conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, the judge says. This doesn't have to be a formal agreement, but can be a mutual understanding, spoken or unspoken. The eight acts Combs is accused of that fall under the racketeering charge are: Kidnapping Arson Bribery Witness tampering Forced labour Sex trafficking Transportation to engage in prostitution Possession with intent to distribute drugs Racketeering conspiracy carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. 15:05:26 Judge takes jurors through the charges against Diddy Jurors are now being given the details of the five charges. Count 1 - racketeering Count 2 - sex-trafficking of Cassie Ventura Count 3 - transporting individuals including but not limited to Cassie Ventura to engage in prostitution Count 4 - sex-trafficking of Jane* Count 5 - transporting individuals including but not limited to Jane to engage in prostitution Jane*, a former girlfriend of Combs's, is not her real name. She testified using a pseudonym. Jurors must return a separate verdict of not guilty or guilty for each charge, and analyse the evidence separately for each count. 14:56:45 'Did the witness tell the truth?' Judge Arun Subramanian reminds jurors that Sean "Diddy" Combs has pleaded not guilty and his defence team does not need to prove his innocence - the prosecution has the burden of proving his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. What does this mean? It is a doubt based on reason, judgement and common sense, the court hears. Jurors have heard direct evidence, from exhibits shown in court and witnesses who have testified about what they personally saw, as well as circumstantial evidence, which is indirect by proof of other facts. It is the jury's job to determine the credibility of the witnesses, the judge says. "There is no magic formula." Again, he tells jurors to use their common sense, judgement and experiences in life, and says they can take into account inconsistencies or contradictions in testimony. "The ultimate question for you to decide is: did the witness tell the truth?"
