Kyle MacLachlan 'Would Love' To Reprise Trey On ‘And Just Like That' After Rejecting Writers' 'First Idea'
Three seasons into And Just Like That…, one beloved Sex and the City character has yet to make a return, despite the show's best efforts. Kyle MacLachlan recently admitted he 'would love to come back and have fun' on the HBO Max reboot as Charlotte's (Kristin Davis) Waspy ex-husband Trey MacDougal, but he wasn't sold on the writers' original idea for his return. More from Deadline Kristin Davis Reveals Scrapped 'And Just Like That…' Storyline Where Kyle MacLachlan's Trey And Charlotte Run Into Each Other 'And Just Like That …' Season 3: Everything We Know So Far 'The Comeback' Revived By HBO For Third & Final Season 'And what they suggested to me, I said, 'I think there should be more,'' MacLachlan explained to Us Weekly. 'So I just said, 'I wonder, if the relationship that Charlotte and Trey had demands a little more than their first idea.'' Debuting the character on Season 3 of Sex and the City in 2000, Trey is a cardiologist who is seemingly Charlotte's perfect match, quickly getting married and starting their life together on the Upper East Side. But their marriage soon starts to unravel due to Trey's erectile dysfunction, his overbearing mother's surprise pop-ins and Charlotte's infidelity. As for what Trey would be up to during And Just Like That…, which premiered in 2021, MacLachlan has some ideas. 'It'd be very interesting,' he said. 'I had suggested that Trey has maybe moved to Napa and has a very successful winery and label there — you can see where I'm going with this. But no, I actually haven't said anything yet. Regardless, the show's doing great. They're all lovely. And I adore them.' Davis previously admitted on her Are You a Charlotte? podcast that she 'was kind of mad' at MacLachlan for passing on the writers' idea, which she felt symbolized Charlotte's 'unfinished feeling' about their divorce. 'She really wants to see him, and I, Kristin, also feel that way,' she added. 'So I'm hoping that we can kind of revisit a 'maybe they run into each other just at an event or a restaurant or something like that.'' Davis said, 'I did give him a hard time the other day, and then he explained his point of view and I did understand it. When you have played such a wonderful part in the past that people have such a great memory of, and it was so special as a work experience, you want it to kind of stay in this glorious place, and I think he just didn't want there to be kind of a sad note to the end. So I get that.' Best of Deadline 2025 TV Cancellations: Photo Gallery 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery 2025-26 Awards Season Calendar: Dates For Tonys, Emmys, Oscars & More

Is Trey coming back? Sex and the City star Kristin Davis hints her character Charlotte could be 'running into' her ex-husband on And Just Like That
Kristin Davis has revealed that there's a possibility that one of Sex and the City's most beloved ex-husbands could be making a comeback. The 60-year-old was quizzed on what characters she'd like to see appear on the spin off of the iconic 1990s and noughties series, And Just Like That, by Stellar Magazine this week. The actress was quick to name Kyle MacLachlan, who played Trey MacDougal, the husband - and later ex-husband - of her character, Charlotte York. MacLachlan, 66, appeared on Sex And The City between 2000 and 2002. 'I feel like there could be many scenarios where [Trey's return] could work' Kristin explained. 'I feel like in New York, you do run into people from your past pretty frequently.' She added: 'It would totally make sense that Trey and Charlotte would be at the same events or at the same restaurants. 'I don't know if that would be enough for them to explore their relationship but it would be fun to do it, if we could'. Trey and Charlotte had an unhappy marriage, leading to a tense divorce - but through that process, Charlotte met her soulmate, lawyer Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler, who became her second husband. Handler continues to appear in the spin off And Just Like That as well as starring in both Sex And The City films. The is however one storyline from Sex and the City that Kristen couldn't stand - and even tried to get out of filming it. Davis recalled the plotline during a recent episode of her podcast Are You a Charlotte? She explained that during the sixth season of the show, the script called for York and her on screen husband Handler to come down with a bout of bad food poisoning. The pair were supposed to be out at a fancy dinner, enjoying dishes like French cheese, only for the both of them to then get hit with food poisoning and end up on the toilet. 'I just hated that storyline so much,' Davis admitted on the podcast. Davis disliked it so much that she even went to the episode's writers, Elisa Zuritsky and Julia Rottenberg, and questioned why they had to do this. 'They were like, "It's so funny"' Davis remembered. 'I think it was based on a story where someone went to France and had a similar experience with their decadent cheeses, which we're not used to here,' she continued. 'I didn't like that. I didn't want to lay on the floor of the bathroom with Evan in stained T-shirts. Ick.' However, the two ended up acting out the scene, and it made the cut on the 14th episode of season six. Sex and The City ended that season in 2004, but was revived in 2021 as the ladies returned for a spinoff, called And Just Like That, about life in their 50s. The spinoff stars Sarah Jessica Parker Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York, and Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes. Samantha Jones, who was played by Kim Cattrall in the original series, did not participate in the revival. However, it looks like there will be some new characters for fans to look forward to meeting this year, as And Just Like That is set to premiere its third season on HBO sometime this year. During an on-stage talk at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia late last year, Parker teased some new additions to the cast. 'There is growth with new faces,' Parker said, per Variety. 'Carrie has a wonderful storyline,' she continued. 'The story takes some big swings and we fold some big ideas into those big swings. Some of the male characters are back, and there are some new men.' She also shared that the third season took over seven months to shoot and involved 'crazy long hours.' 'It feels really big, really robust and exciting,' Parker shared.
