Sex and the City revival adds to cast with Little Fires Everywhere and Empire actors

The Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That..., has cast three new faces that you may already recognize from their hefty acting portfolios. 

The latest series is a revival of the original show that ran from 1998 to 2004 starring Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York and Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones. 

It has been widely publicized that Samantha will be written out of Sex and the City reboot. And with news of Samantha's departure, some fans are wondering if a new leading lady will step into the shoes (ideally Manolo Blahniks) of a Samantha-like character.

Excitingly, it's just been announced that Nicole Ari Parker, Sarita Choudhury and Karen Pittman have been cast in the new series. So who are these characters and will one of them become a member of the lead cast?
