The stars of the iconic TV show "Sex and the City" have reunited for the first table read of its revival.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis all shared their excitement on social media over reprising their roles as Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte for the return of the show.

The three actresses got together on Friday for the first table read of the revival, which is being produced by HBO Max.

Titled "And Just Like That ...", the series is said to follow the three characters and what happened to them after their last time on the big screen, in the Sex and the City 2 movie.

Notably missing is actress Kim Catrall, who played Samantha Jones, as she will not take part in the revival.

Parker, 56, shared on her Instagram a photo of the three main characters, revealing they had been reading through the first episodes, "alongside all the fellas and our newest cast members".

"Friendship never goes out of style," Nixon, 55, wrote, sharing the same photo on her social media.

Parker also said that she arrived at the table read "way too early", her "nerves all a wonderful jumble".

Also present were fan favourites Chris Noth (John James "Mr Big" Preston), Willie Garson (Stanford Blatch), and Mario Cantone (Anthony Marentino).

"Everyone at And Just Like That … is thrilled to be able to continue the storylines of these beloved Sex and the City characters with the actors who made them so lovable," Executive Producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement earlier this week, announcing the return of these three characters.

On social media, people pointed out Catrall's absence from the revival, with many worrying the show will not be as good without her.
