Perhaps HBO was waiting to see the box office receipts for Sex and the City before announcing – or officially inking – Kim Cattrall's new deal with the network? After SATC cleaned up this weekend with $55.7 million, HBO and Cattrall reveal she'll exec produce and star in Sensitive Skin, a single-camera comedic British import. [THR] It's part of a development deal Cattrall signed when she agreed to do the feature film, which explains why there's a "significant penalty" to be paid if HBO kills the series. (She also teamed with HBO for 2005's Kim Cattrall: Sexual Intelligence.)

Cattrall may have a reputation of being a catty actress, but she's also very much responsible for getting her, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon much higher paydays. She took the public relations hits for it, and now it appears to have paid off.
