SEX and The City was one of the biggest shows of its time, and still to this day has millions of fans around the world.
On the show, Kim Cattrall portrayed the role of Samantha Jones and now fans want to know if she’ll reprise the iconic character in its spin-off series, And Just Like That.

Will Kim Cattrall be in And Just Like That?
Fans were crushed when it was announced that Kim Cattrall would not be reprising her Sex and the City role during And Just Like That’s first season.
Instead, she was working on a new role for the How I Met Your Mother reboot, How I Met Your Father.
During that time, she also revealed on the Women’s Prize for Fiction podcast that she wasn’t interested in portraying the role of Samantha Jones again.
“I wouldn’t be any good doing something that I really didn’t want to do,” she said at the time.
Cattrall’s comments came as a shock to fans, and they were even more confused after it was revealed that she would be reprising her role in the Season 2 finale.
On May 31, 2023, Variety was the first to report that Cattrall would be making a return, but it is only for one scene.
Sources told the outlet that she shot her dialogue on March 22, in New York City, and didn’t see or speak to the show’s stars, including Sarah Jessica Parker and showrunner Michael Patrick King.
In Cattrall’s scene, she will reportedly be having a phone conversation with Parker’s character Carrie Bradshaw.
What happened between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker?
Cattrall’s short appearance on the show is likely linked to the alleged public feud she’s had with Parker for years.
Back in 2018, Parker told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen that she was “heartbroken” after Cattrall said she was never friends with her co-stars.
“We had this experience and it was amazing, and nothing will ever be like it. We had a connection with an audience, and we had a connection with the city and with this crew, and we got to tell these crazy stories with each other. So I don’t want to mess with that,” Parker said, via TODAY.com.
“I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing that part. So there was no fight; it was completely fabricated, because I actually never responded. And I won’t, because she needed to say what she needed to say, and that is her privilege
In previous comments, Cattrall also claimed that her relationship with Parker had become “toxic.”
“Nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, ‘How you doing?’ That would have been the way to handle it,” Cattrall said in 2017, via TODAY.com. “This is, it feels like, a toxic relationship.”
She continued: “This is really where I take to task the people from ‘Sex and the City,’ and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker.
“…I really think she could’ve been nicer. I don’t know what her issue is.”
At this time, neither Parker nor Cattrall has commented on Samantha’s return.
Sex and the City was on-air from 1998 to 2004
How can I watch And Just Like That?
And Just Like That is a continuation of Sex and the City and follows the journey of Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), as they navigate life and friendship in their 50s.
The show’s first season premiered in December 2021, and its second is scheduled to premiere on June 22, 2023.
Fans can watch episodes of And Just Like That on HBO Max’s new streaming service Max, with an active subscription.
