I’ve never ever watched a single episode of ‘Sex and the City’.  But I know lots of people who have, and this is pretty big news.

Variety is reporting that New Line and HBO are on the verge of striking a deal to bring the drama back into production in the fall.  The three main cast members, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are all positioned to return to their roles, along with a large part of the production crew.

The film got close to happening about two years ago, but progress halted when Cattrall backed away. She wanted script controls and a salary close to that of Parker, who was more highly paid than the others because she was co-executive producer of the series. Whatever tensions existed are gone now, sources said. Cattrall has a deal she’s happy with, one the sources said gives her input on her scenes, a fat salary and a future series deal with HBO.

So…uh…there you go.
