Kim Cattrall is set to reprise her iconic role of Samantha Jones in the second season of ‘And Just Like That…’
Kim Cattrall is returning to her iconic role as Samantha Jones in the second season of And Just Like That…, the Sex and the City revival series. The news was confirmed by the official And Just Like That… Twitter account, which shared a post about her return, retweeting a report on the subject. A spokesperson for Max, the network behind the show, also confirmed Cattrall’s participation in the series.
Cattrall had not been part of the first season of And Just Like That…, despite the character of Samantha Jones being mentioned. Her absence from the series was notable, as she had previously expressed that she was done with the Sex and the City franchise following years of public tension with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker. Cattrall had cited the toxic nature of their relationship and, in a 2017 interview with Piers Morgan, mentioned that Parker “could have been nice.”
The return of Cattrall’s character in the second season of And Just Like That… comes as a surprise, as she had publicly stated in 2022 that she was not asked to join the revival series. However, it seems that the stars have aligned for her comeback in this latest season, which will also feature the return of John Corbett as Aidan Shaw and Candice Bergen’s character Enid Frick.
Fans of Sex and the City were last treated to Cattrall’s portrayal of the outspoken public relations maven in the 2010 film Sex and the City 2. Since then, there had been much speculation about the potential return of Samantha Jones to the small screen. Cattrall’s decision to return to the role marks a significant shift from her previous stance on the franchise.
The second season of And Just Like That… is set to premiere on June 22, bringing with it the highly anticipated return of the beloved character of Samantha Jones. Fans are eager to see how the show will incorporate Cattrall’s return, especially given the longstanding public tension between her and Parker.
Cattrall’s return to the role may also signal a possible resolution or shift in the relationship dynamics between the characters and the actresses behind them. While the details of Samantha’s storyline in the new season are still under wraps, her presence promises to add excitement and drama to the show, rekindling the magic of Sex and the City.
