Some characters live forever — and that’s certainly true forKristin Davis, who is quick to see the parallels between her latest role and her belovedSex and the Citycharacter, Charlotte York.
“There are similarities,” Davis, 54, tells PEOPLE of Kate in Netflix’sHoliday in the Wild, who begins the movie as a doting wife and mom living on the Upper East Side of New York City, much like Charlotte once did. “Someone said, ‘Oh, I see Charlotte [in the character],’ and I was like, ‘What do I have to do? Shave my head?’ But I love her and it’s funny.”
The possible parallels go even further. InHoliday in the Wild, Kate winds up in Africa working with elephants. And, according to Davis, one ideaSex and the Citywriter-director Michael Patrick King had for Charlotte would’ve also placed her in a foreign country communing with animals.
“Michael Patrick had a whole plan,” Davis says. “He had a bunch of different ideas that haven’t seen the light of day for different reasons, but one plan was Charlotte went to China with her daughter to have a heritage trip, and then they end up in a river. He had different wildlife plans for Charlotte — they just haven’t come true.”

Despite that message, Davis still has hope that the ladies who brunch will come back together in some way, shape, or form.
“In my heart, it’s never too late, really,” she says. “I’m an optimist, obviously. And I’m only speaking for myself. We didSex and the Cityfor so long, and we did love it so much.”

“I feel like it doesn’t have to look like how it always looked before,” Davis adds. “It doesn’t have to be a full-length feature. Maybe we could do a short! Maybe Carrie and Charlotte go to Africa. I mean, we arealwaysbrainstorming — so it’s never really gone in my heart and in my mind.”
Holiday in the Wild, also starring Rob Lowe, is currently streaming on Netflix.
