Overview

• On a recent episode of the Are You a Charlotte? podcast, Kristen Davis and director Allen Coulter detailed how The Sopranos’ craft services offered gourmet Italian fare that its crew fiercely guarded.
• Sex and the City’s team repeatedly pleaded for meatballs and other treats but was turned away from the Sopranos catering after marathon shoots.
• Both series filmed side by side in Silvercup Studios’ shared hallways and even rotated directors, underlining HBO’s early resource pooling.
• True to production lore, actors on both shows skipped spit buckets and consumed full meals during multiple takes of dining scenes.
• The anecdote has resonated with fans during the third season of the Sex and the City revival And Just Like That?, renewing appetite for 1990s HBO set stories.
