The official synopsis reads: “The half-hour comedy series DIVORCE (ten episodes) stars Sarah Jessica Parker, who also serves as an executive producer, as Frances, a woman who suddenly begins to reassess her life and her marriage, and finds that making a clean break and a fresh start is harder than she thought.”

There’s no denying that Parker’s role could not be further from that of her SATC days – and that’s something which the actress is revelling in.

Speaking with Glamour about how the show defies gender expectations, she said: “It used to be [in the 1960s] men were leaving marriages; now it’s women.

“Many women are breadwinners and are the ones making decisions, and it’s the men who are filled with chaos.”
