Sex and the City just won’t let go of Samantha Jones! In a new Variety interview, And Just Like That… showrunner Michael Patrick King dished some deets about season 2 of the HBO Max series — including whether or not Samantha will continue to be in the storyline despite Kim Cattrall’s very public feud with the franchise!

It’s no secret by now that the beloved character was featured in the first season of the revival via text message. In the series, her absence was explained through a falling out with Carrie Bradshaw after she was fired as her publicist — mirroring the IRL feud with Sarah Jessica Parker.

On TV at least they started to heal, rekindling their friendship throughout the season, specifically as Samantha reached out during Carrie’s grieving process.

But considering the characters left things off on a positive note, will Samantha continue to reappear in the next season?? Michael Patrick King enthusiastically shared: While he didn’t explain how Samantha will be included in the show, we’d have to imagine she’ll only reappear via text messages or something similar.
