Unfortunately for fans of Samantha Jones, lightning doesn’t strike twice. Kim Cattrall politely broke the news that she won’t be reprising her iconic Sex and the City character for the upcoming third season of its Max revival And Just Like That…, despite her drive-by cameo last year in the Season 2 finale.
After Life & Style reported earlier this month that Cattrall is striking up a deal for Season 3, the actress set the record straight on X. ‘It Looks Like #KimCattrall (aka Samantha Jones) Will Be Back For ‘And Just Like That…’ Season 3 After All!’ read one headline, to which Cattrall responded, ‘Aw that’s so kind but I’m not.’ Cattrall played the sexually empowered publicist Samantha Jones for the original HBO show’s six-season run from 1998 to 2004, as well as the feature adaptations that hit theaters in 2008 and 2010.
After opening up about her behind-the-scenes differences with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, Cattrall opted not to reunite with Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis in And Just Like That…, which premiered in 2021.
Cattrall still graced fans with a brief Samantha appearance in the Season 2 finale last August after Deadline reported the cameo earlier in May 2023.
