Sarah Jessica Parker Teases ‘Big Swings’ and ‘New Men’ in ‘And Just Like That’ Season 3, Calls Booker Prize Jury Appointment the ‘Honor of a Lifetime’

As a long-time cinema devotee and avid fan of Sarah Jessica Parker, it is simply mesmerizing to witness her journey from a young actress at eight years old to a multifaceted powerhouse who has made significant strides in film, TV producing, entrepreneurship, and literature. Her impact on American television and beyond, especially among women, is nothing short of revolutionary.

During a public appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival on Wednesday, Sarah Jessica Parker playfully hinted about Season 3 of “And Just Like That” and her new role as a judge on the esteemed British literary honor, the Booker Prize.

During an extensive conversation, Parker shared insights about her long-standing acting career which started when she was just eight years old. She also discussed her foray into movie and television production, as well as her involvement in various business ventures such as book publishing, fashion, and the creation of perfumes.

The “Sex and the City” series left a significant global impression, as seen in Saudi Arabia among other places, which was emphasized during the discussion. Parker shared insights about how this show transformed American television, as before it, there was a predominant focus on sports and films, with limited representation for women’s perspectives and discussions of a more personal nature.

Parker stated that it was the large female fanbase, often referred to as ‘the 10 million strong,’ who made the show happen. He led the audience on an unique journey and feels incredibly honored to have played a character whose life has been portrayed over approximately 25 years.

As a devoted fan excitedly counting down the days till the third season of “And Just Like That” premieres next year, I can’t help but share that I’ve heard from Parker herself that filming this season was an intense seven-month journey, involving some absolutely bonkers long work hours.

As a captivated movie-goer, let me share my thoughts: This film is nothing short of grandiose, brimming with robust energy that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s a veritable tapestry of compelling narratives, each one finding its rightful place amidst an ensemble cast. The narrative progresses beautifully, introducing fresh faces and giving Carrie a significant story arc.

Speaking about her fresh role on the five-member jury of the Booker Prize, Parker shared an origin story of her passion for reading. This fascination, she said, stemmed from her mother’s diligence in ensuring that all eight of her kids departed home with a book in hand.

She stated that books serve as portals to understanding, kindness, diverse realms, individuals, distant locations, unique conversations, cultural backgrounds, and narratives that may appear small, yet hold significant weight.

Seven years back, Parker established a book club and later introduced his very own publishing label.

She gleamed with excitement as she shared that being chosen for the Booker Prize judging panel was “an unparalleled honor, I find it hard to believe. Over the course of the next seven months, I’ll have the pleasure of reading 170 books — I can hardly wait!
