John Slattery Would Reprise His ‘Sex and the City’ Role in a ‘Hot Second’
The cast ofĀ And Just Like Thatā¦Ā is back on set, filming the showās third season. While they just started filming last week, fans have already been treated to some surprise castings. Rosie OāDonnell will appear on the show, and Cheri Oteri has officially joined the cast. We have yet to see any past lovers resurface for season 3, but atleast one actor is interested in reprising their role. John Slattery, who played politician Bill Kelley in season 3 ofĀ Sex and the City, would happily appear inĀ And Just Like Thatā¦
John Slattery would like to appear in āAnd Just Like Thatā¦āĀ
In a 2023 interview withĀ Entertainment Tonight, Slattery reflected on his time onĀ Sex and the CityĀ and the showās reboot. When asked if he would be interested in returning to the set, he didnāt hesitate to answer.Ā Slattery said he would āabsolutelyā reprise his role,Ā andĀ he wouldĀ do it in a āhot second.āĀ The famed actor liked the idea of his character returning as the mayor of New York City, suggesting his political career was a success.Ā

Slatteryās role inĀ Sex and the CityĀ was short-lived. He only appeared in a few episodes as politician Bill Kelley before he ended his romance with Carrie because his advisors were concerned Carrieās job would impact his campaign.Ā While Carrie accepted the end of the romance, she did write about his sexual interests in her column, much toĀ the chagrin of Bill Kelley.
While fans never saw Bill Kelley confront Carrie about what she wrote, we like to think they had a conversation or two after the fact. Despite not ending on great terms, fans would be happy to see him return, although not as a love interest. WhetherĀ And Just Like Thatā¦Ā will find a way to work him into the storyline remains to be seen.Ā
Other former guest stars want to reprise their role,Ā tooĀ
Slattery is not the onlyĀ Sex and the CityĀ guest star who has expressed interest in reprising their role. Jennifer Hudson once said sheād be interested in returning as Louise from St. Louis. Hudson did not appear in the original series. She appeared inĀ Sex and the City:Ā The MovieĀ as Carrieās assistant. By the movieās end, she had moved back to St. Louis to marry her longtime love, Will. Considering her location itās hard to see how sheād end up back on the show.Ā

Kyle MacLachlanās character would be easier to work in. MacLachlanĀ has expressed interestĀ in returning as Trey MacDougal, Charlotte Yorkās first husband. Trey and Charlotte parted waysĀ way backĀ in season 4 of the original series. Still, he remained in New York. Trey even popped up a couple of times before the series finale. Fans would love to see Trey and Charlotteās paths cross again, although not romantically.Ā
