“Kim is so incredible,” he added. “She’s like, I don’t know, she’s just really f—ing cool. I feel like people are realizing that, based on her iconic interviews lately. She is so dry. She’s so smart. She’s just very perceptive.”

TheSex and the Cityreboot aired on HBO Max in late 2021, and viewers had very mixed opinions on the return.
Cattrall, 65, didn’t sign on for the revival after public tensions with cast memberSarah Jessica Parkerand a growing feeling thatthe series felt “like an echo of the past.”
She toldVarietyin May: “I don’t want to be nude anymore. I’m 65. I’m in great shape. But I’m just not interested. I feel like I filled my quota on that one.”
Now inQueer as Folk, she’s playing a Southern debutante who isn’t quite sure how to navigate life as the mom of two gay children.Devin Way, who plays Beaumont’s second son, Brodie, said Cattrall was “so much better” and “so much more” from what he thought she’d be — and that’s based on her other, iconic projects.
“When you think about an icon, you think about boundaries,” Way said. “You think about how the world receives them and feels like they have ownership to them. And I didn’t want her to feel unsafe around [so] many of us. So I approached her with boundaries and when I got there and she really was arms open wide with me and was so gracious and loving and tender and sweet on set, it was like smelling the sweetest perfume. That is her essence.”
All eight episodes of theQueer as Folkreboot are now streaming on Peacock.
