Kim Cattrall is returning to the “Sex and the City” franchise after initially claiming she would never reprise her famous role.
When the “Sex and the City” sequel series “And Just Like That” was announced, Cattrall made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with it. This is largely due to a highly publicized feud with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker. However, it appears the 66-year-old had a change of heart that has stunned show staffers.
A spokesperson for the show confirmed to the New York Post that Cattrall’s character Samantha would be absent for most of season two. However, Cattrall will be seen towards the end in what is being called a “cliffhanger.” Details surrounding what that scene will entail remain under lock and key. What is known is that the shot was filmed in March in a parking garage near Silvercup Studios in Queens, New York where much of the series is filmed. The scene was kept a secret from most of the production, with Cattrall arriving in an SUV with dark-tinted windows to hide her identity. The cliffhanger is said to be a set-up for season three, which is rumored to welcome Cattrall back as a full-time cast member.
Season one of “And Just Like That” addressed Samantha’s absence by having her character move to London to run her PR business. Parker’s character, Carrie, sent texts to her in the inaugural season. Aside from brief mentions, Samantha’s role was largely written out. Therefore, it’ll be interesting to see how writers create a build-up to the highly anticipated scene.
Season two of “And Just Like That” will premiere on June 22nd, exclusively on Max, formally known as HBO Max.
