Sarah Jessica Parker has hinted she is keen to play her Sex and the City character again

She told Variety: "I hear lots of very original ideas, all lovely and well intentioned and often very clever, but the only thing that really matters is what excites Michael Patrick King."

However, Parker insisted that King is "not thinking" about a future Sex and the City project at the moment.

She said: "And right now he's just not thinking about that."

In October, Parker claimed she could "just be on hiatus" from the role.

Asked about the decision to bring the series to a conclusion, Sarah told CBS Mornings: "I mean, I'm not certain I understand what that decision means, actually.

"Because I could just be on hiatus, you know."

Sarah did not expand on what she meant with the "hiatus" suggestion, but described the "difficult decision" she and showrunner Michael Patrick King made to finish And Just Like That... .

The Mars Attacks! star said: "Michael and I talked a lot about it, and I think it's out of respect for this really singular professional experience that you have to consider what you want to do (and) have you done it.

"And sometimes it's best to gracefully walk away when things feel really right and energetic, versus squeezing and exploiting people's generosity and hospitality."

What's more, And Just Like That... ex ecutive producer Elisa Zuritsky previously hinted there are more story possibilities.

She told TVLine: "She's alive, so it could happen.

"Sarah Jessica Parker is Michael Patrick King's muse, and the reason he says, 'I've said goodbye before and I've come back', is because it's true."
