Kim Cattrall has shut down rumours circulating on social media of her return to the Sex and the City revival series And Just Like That… with one simple sentence.
On Sunday, July 21, Cattrall denied ongoing speculation that she would be reprising her character Samantha Jones in the upcoming third season of And Just Like That…, which stars her former co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. Responding to a fan, who shared an article from Elle addressing rumours that Cattrall will appear in the upcoming season of the newer series, Cattrall wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), “Aw that’s so kind but I’m not,” and added a saucy kiss mark emoji.
Cattrall made a brief cameo during the Season 2 finale of And Just Like That…. In the much-anticipated cameo appearance, Samantha called Carrie from London saying she was going to surprise her in New York City, but was unable to due to plane delays. Her character was dressed in a stylish silver jacket and red ensemble from Patricia Field, who designed the costumes in the original series. Prior to that, her character was featured in the first season solely via text message exchanges with Carrie.
At the time, Cattrall said during an appearance on The View, “I just thought that if I’m going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style.”
Talk of Cattrall’s return to the popular franchise grew after she reprised her iconic role in the season 3 finale of the revival series.
Cattrall previously opened up about not wanting to be part of the new show, telling Variety in May 2022 that she didn’t like how her character was represented in the script for the never-produced third movie. She called the portrayal “heartbreaking” and said that it turned her off from reprising her role as Samantha.
Cattrall also spoke about the difficulties of playing a character for multiple decades, as the first season of Sex and the City premiered in 1998.
“Everything has to grow, or it dies. I felt that when the series ended, I thought that’s smart. We’re not repeating ourselves,” she told the outlet. “And then the movie to end all the loose ends. And then there’s another movie. And then there’s another movie?”
And Just Like That… is on track to return for Season 3 in 2025.
