Kim Cattrall is set to reprise her role as Samantha Jones in the second season of And Just Like That, the continuation of Sex and the City. According to Variety, her appearance will be brief and limited to a telephone call with Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw. Cattrall recorded her dialogue in March but had no contact with the main cast or showrunner Michael Patrick King.
Reports of a rift between Cattrall and Parker have circulated for years, and when the spin-off was announced, the absence of Samantha Jones disappointed many fans. Cattrall had stated in 2016 that she was 'done' playing the character, citing a lack of progression in the proposed third film. She later revealed she was not asked to participate in the first season of And Just Like That.
For season two, however, Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content, approached Cattrall directly last year about a possible return, which she accepted. The scene is expected to air towards the end of the season's run, likely in August. The season premieres on Max on 22 June.
