There have been rumours of a third Sex and the City film for a really long time now, not least because star Sarah Jessica Parker has been championing the cause for years.

But we have news for anyone convinced that another big-screen instalment of Carrie, Sam, Charlotte and Miranda is just what Hollywood needs: it’s time to put your dreams of to bed once and for all, because SJP says it is Definitely. Not. Happening.

Oh, they got as far as a script and everything – something described as “beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful” – but speaking to Extra, Parker says she, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon will not be reprising their roles.

We repeat: there will be no SATC 3.

“It’s over… we’re not doing it,” she said while attending the New York City Ballet Gala. “I’m disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story.”
