Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted back on the set of the Sex and the City reboot Monday, about a week after the Sept. 21 death of her costar and friend, Willie Garson.
Parker, 56, was seen filming scenes for And Just Like That… in the New York City neighborhood of SoHo, days after posting a heartfelt message in honor of Garson, 57, who died of pancreatic cancer. Over the summer, he had begun reprising his role as Stanford Blatch on the SATC reboot.
The actress, who is once again starring as Carrie Bradshaw, was seen looking pensive as she filmed scenes for the show, which comes 17 years after the original series ended in 2004. Two Sex and the City films were released in 2008 and 2010.

When news of Garson's death first broke, Parker did not issue a statement but posted a comment on her SATC costar Chris Noth's Instagram tribute to the actor, writing, "Thank you dearest Chris. I'm not ready yet. Xxx."
She later posted her own tribute on Friday, sharing a collection of photos of herself and Garson over the years on Instagram.
"It's been unbearable," she began in the caption. "Sometimes silence is a statement. Of the gravity. The anguish. The magnitude of the loss of a 30 + year friendship."
She continued, "A real friendship that allowed for secrets, adventure, a shared professional family, truth, concerts, road trips, meals, late night phone calls, a mutual devotion to parenthood and all the heartaches and joy that accompany, triumphs, disappointments, fear, rage and years spent on sets (most especially Carrie's apartment) and laughing late into the night as both Stanford and Carrie and Willie and SJ."
