Fans of the HIT HBO series ‘Sex and the City’ were elated that the venerable show got NEW LIFE in the form of ‘And Just Like That’. Although we got to see the LADIES in a new stage of life with some NEW INTERESTING friends in tow, die-hard fans were a little bummed that fan favorite ‘Samantha Jones’ was missing from the landscape in the flesh but only ‘present’ in spirit via a few text messages sprinkled throughout the season 1.
Well, fans hold on, because Kim Cattrall is set to REPRISE her role as the titular ‘Samantha Jones’ for season 2!!
But she will only appear in one scene. According to sources, Cattrall shot her dialogue on March 22 in New York City, without seeing or speaking with the stars of the series, including Sarah Jessica Parker, or with “And Just Like That” showrunner Michael Patrick King.
In the scene, Samantha, who in the show has moved to London, will have a phone conversation with Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw. In the first season of “And Just Like That,” Carrie engaged with an estranged Samantha over text, and in the finale, the two made a plan to see each other in order to reconcile.
Famed “Sex and the City” costume designer Patricia Field, who has not been working on “And Just Like That,” dressed Samantha for her scene.
A rep for Cattrall didn’t respond to request for comment. Max did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cattrall’s appearance as Samantha will not be a continuation of the character for now.
Still, the return of Samantha in any form will certainly thrill “Sex and the City” fans, who have been clamoring for even a glimpse of the beloved, empowered publicist who put the “sex” in the groundbreaking series that ran on HBO for six seasons from 1998 to 2004, and led to two movies.
Well– we’ll take what we can get. Hopefully the door is OPEN for more ‘SEX’ with Samantha…
We can’t WAIT to see how this UNFOLDS!!!!
