‘Sex and the City’ shocker! Kim Cattrall to return as Samantha Jones with ‘And Just Like That…’ cameo
Variety reports that Kim Cattrall will reprise her Sex and the City role of Samantha Jones in the season two finale of And Just Like That.
But don’t expect an actual on-screen reunion with former co-star Sarah Jessica Parker or any other members of the cast. Samantha will be calling Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw from London and the scene has already been filmed. The characters had been texting each other during the show’s first season which reunited Parker with SATC co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis.
The second season of “And Just Like That” also premieres on June 22, but Cattrall’s scene as Samantha won’t air until August.
Cattrall starred in six seasons of SATC and in two follow-up feature films. But she passed on appearing in a third film and bad blood emerged publicly between her and Parker, an executive producer of the two series and the films. She has been busy with other series including the one-season, reboot of Queer as Folk, the sitcom How I Met Your Father and the short-lived Fox series Filthy Rich. She currently co-stars with Robert De Niro in the feature film comedy About My Father.
I’ve seen a lot of her recent work and she’s always good but none of her roles have come close to the brilliance of Samantha. Any true SATC fan would love to have the character back so maybe it will be just the beginning. If there is a season three, maybe a three-episode arc with Samantha back in town!
