Samantha is Back: Kim Catrall Will Return in ‘And Just Like That’
She'll have a long-awaited call with Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw
Yes, we’re shocked too. Kim Catrall will return to her iconic role as Samantha Jones in the Season 2 finale of ‘And Just Like That’, HBO Max’s revival of ‘Sex and the City’!
Catrall publicly announced that she was done playing Samantha back in 2016. It’s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough. I also didn’t want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear”, she stated in a Variety interview. Moreover, she recognized nobody asked her to be in ‘And Just Like That…’.
“I was never asked to be part of the reboot. I made my feelings clear after the possible third movie, so I found out about it like everyone else did — on social media”. However, Catrall even said she still felt Samantha with her.
Now we can finally see the most popular PR back, the diva that put ‘sex’ in ‘Sex and the City’. However, she’ll only appear in one scene. According to Variety sources, Catrall shot her dialogue in March in New York City, without sharing any kind of space with other fellow stars, including Sarah Jessica Parker and ‘And Just Like That’ showrunner Michael Patrick King.
In this scene, Samantha, who has moved to London, will have a phone conversation with Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw, while in the first season they just shared some text messages. We can’t wait to know more about that long-awaited talk!
Kim Catrall and Sarah Jessica Parker
It’s no secret that Kim Catrall and Sarah Jessica Parker have had a complicated relationship. In fact, several media outlets have even published timelines and behind the scene secrets about their rumored feud. We can still remember the polemic message of Catrall on Instagram after Sarah Jessica Parker sent her condolences after her brother passed away: “I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker”.
This awkward moment joined the controversy that has been surrounding both actresses since the end of ‘Sex and the City’ and even shaked the public debate about the mean-girl culture present in the industry.
