This Wednesday, several headlines reported that actress Kim Cattrall would play Samantha Jones again in the upcoming second season of And Just Like Thatthe sequel series to the iconic show sex and the city. The HBO Max platform confirmed hours later the veracity of the note through social networks, suggesting that the return of the actor and the character could materialize thanks to “popular demand.”
However, it should be noted that Kim Cattrall only filmed one scene for the new season of And Just Like That. According Variety, the scene in question is part of the final episode of this second installment and shows Samantha having a phone call with Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker). Sources indicated that Cattrall filmed her cameo on March 22 in New York without Parker being present, nor Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, respective interpreters of Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York.
The return of the sixty-year-old actress is particularly surprising, considering that since 2017, Cattrall had declared that she had no interest in wearing Samantha’s shoes again, after feeling that the proposed script for a third film by sex and the city It didn’t do the character justice. Her rejection of her film project reportedly started a feud between her and Parker, and by the time the idea of And Just Like That was put on the table years later, they didn’t even offer him to get involved in the new series, according to Cattrall herself.
On the other hand, according to the same report of Varietyit was already entered in the filming of the second season that Casey Bloys, president of HBO, spoke directly with the native of England histrion to invite her to participate in And Just Like That and she said yes.

version of New York Post indicates that Kim Cattrall’s cameo was handled as secretively as possible, even among members of the production team. Presumably her name did not even appear on the call sheet, so there were staff members genuinely surprised to see her appear on the day of shooting.
“The fact that they kept it a secret suggests that there is some implication that it could come back. [en episodios futuros de And Just Like That]. Not this season, but it’s definitely a cliffhanger that will keep people coming back for season three,” commented one insider.
Either way, it’s still too early to tell if Cattrall’s cameo will make Samantha (at the very least) a recurring presence in a potential Season 3. What do you think?
The second season of And Just Like That will premiere on HBO Max on June 22, 2023.
