Former "Sex and the City" executive producer Jenny Bicks is returning to HBO and reuniting with the star and fellow executive producer of the iconic 1998 comedy series, Sarah Jessica Parker.

Bicks has signed an overall deal with HBO. Under the pact, she has joined the network’s dark comedy series "Divorce", created and executive produced by Sharon Horgan and starring Parker, as executive producer and showrunner for the upcoming second season. She replaces Paul Simms, who is exiting over creative differences.

Filming will start after Bicks takes a few weeks to work on scripts.





“While we’ve decided to part ways on this particular project, we appreciate having Paul as a trusted collaborator and friend,” HBO said in a statement to Deadline.

“We look forward to picking up the conversation with our new showrunner Jenny Bicks as we embark on the second season of Divorce.”
