Fans and critics have voiced their skepticism about the success of the TV series' reboot without Cattrall's lovable character Samantha. However, Bushnell has responded to the fear of Cattrall leaving the franchise by reassuring fans the show will be a success.

The 62-year-old author, whose life the TV series was based on, added that the fear was unwarranted. Also, she mentioned that the show's reboot would be worked on by award-winning writers who will bring fresh ideas to compensate for Cattrall's absence.
