Kim Cattrall gives a subtle response amid news of a Sex and the City revival

Kim Cattrall has given a subtle hint as to why she's absent from the upcoming Sex and the City reboot.

Earlier this week a revival of the hit show was announced that will feature original cast members, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. However, Cattrall was notably absent from being involved in the 10-episode series titled And Just Like That.

While Cattrall is yet to offer any official statement about her decision not to participate, some fans noticed she liked a Twitter post that offers more insight.

The tweet read, "I absolutely love Sex and the City and whilst I am saddened that Samantha will not return, I applaud doing what is best for you and think this is great example of putting yourself first. Well done @KimCattrall."

Yesterday Parker acknowledged Cattrall's absence from the lineup, assuring fans it wasn't because they "dislike each other."

"No. I don't dislike her. I've never said that. Never would," she wrote in response to a social media comment. "Samantha isn't part of this story. But she will always be a part of us. No matter where we are or what we do."

However, it's been widely reported that the pair have butted heads over the years. Cattrall has never expressed an interest in a third SATC movie, so it's no surprise she didn't sign up for a limited-series.

"I think the climate changed," Cattrall told the Daily Record in 2016. "To have four women talking about shopping trips and spending $400 on shoes when people are having trouble putting food on the table?"
