Rumor has it Caitlyn Jenner is eligible for a cameo in the new HBO Sex and the city restart because producers are looking for new and recognizable faces for the series and because they hope to fix the terrible treatment of marginalized characters in the original series. And by ‘characters’ I mean extras – non-white, non-cis people hardly exist in the show different.
As for trans characters, the only notable example where they appear in an episode where Samantha commits a literal hate crime against them, pouring water on a group of transgender sex workers in her block.
According to the Mirror, the producers try to make the reboot “as diverse as possible” to make up for it for scenes like this, and for its almost exclusively white cast. Apparently Caitlyn Jenner comes in.
“Caitlyn has somehow been a media player for 50 years,” an alleged “insider” told the outlet. “She’s really perfect for a gig.”
It’s certainly a random pick and hollow gesture when the show is primary reason to include Jenner is to nod vaguely at “inclusion.” Would Jenner show up as herself? Like a friend? Or as just an extra whose role is to make a witty comment? I think we’ll (maybe) see!

Elizabeth Hurley has gone completely tradwife. (Minus anti-feminist politics.)
On Sunday, the model and actress posted a photo on Instagram in which they announced that in the United Kingdom, where covid restrictions apply, they are hard in quarantine for domesticity. quite strict now – and started making jam.
“Lockdown turned me into a demented housewife,” Hurley wrote in the caption. “47 jars of marmalade are in my pantry with more Seville oranges waiting for me.”
Making jam seems like a much more fun lockdown activity than doing puzzles, for example. Go on, Liz!
