Did Matthew Broderick Ever Appear in ‘Sex and the City’?

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker have unlocked the secret to a happy marriage. The duo, who married in 1996, are one of the longest-standing Hollywood power couples. While they’ve enjoyed a successful romantic relationship, they carefully approach mixing their professional lives. Parker and Broderick have been cautious about which TV or movie projects they take on together and which they allow their partner to complete individually. Matthew Broderick recently discussed Parker’s iconic series, Sex and the City, and why he never appeared in it.  

Matthew Broderick never appeared on ‘Sex and the City’

While Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker aren’t against working together, the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off actor never appeared in Sex and the City. Broderick addressed the reason behind his absence from the iconic series in a recent appearance on  This Life of Mine, a Sirius XM show hosted by James Corden.

Broderick told Corden that he was approached about Sex and the City several times over the years. Each time a role he could play presented itself, he was unable to make time to appear on set. He went on to say there were some parts he passed on because it would have been “embarrassing,” like the short story writer who battled with premature ejaculation that Carrie Bradshaw briefly dated. Justin Theroux took on the role that Broderick referenced.

Could Matthew Broderick appear in ‘And Just Like That…’?

Matthew Broderick insists timing kept him away from Sex and the City. Does that mean he could appear in And Just Like That…, the show’s reboot? It seems unlikely. The famed actor isn’t opposed to the idea. Still, it hasn’t happened yet.

And Just Like That… season 3 is still being filmed on the streets of New York City. Still, the cast is getting extremely close to wrapping production. Fans haven’t spotted Broderick on set. He doesn’t appear to have any role in the show’s upcoming third season. It is unclear if Max will order a season 4. It seems like Broderick is more than happy to stay away, ensuring Parker’s iconic role as Carrie Bradshaw is all about her instead of her famous marriage.

Season 3 of And Just Like That… doesn’t have a release date just yet. Despite the end of filming looming, it will be months before fans reconnect with Carrie Bradshaw and her pals again. Max has revealed that season 3 will get a 2025 release.
