Kim Cattrall<\/strong><\/a> answered fans\u2019 prayers when she made her debut on And Just Like That<\/em> during season 2, but the actress revealed that Samantha Jones won\u2019t be back for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n The Sex and the City<\/em> alum, 67, responded to a previous report by Life & Style<\/em><\/a> that a fan reshared via X<\/a> on Sunday, July 21, writing, \u201cAw that\u2019s so kind but I\u2019m not.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this month a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that it was \u201cassumed that they\u2019ve done a deal with Kim and they\u2019re just waiting for the right time to announce it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe word is that she\u2019ll get to do all her scenes in London. They\u2019ll be bending over backwards to pay her an absolute fortune, and it\u2019s all on her terms because she\u2019s so central to the franchise,\u201d the insider explained. \u201cEveryone, including Sarah [Jessica Parker]<\/strong>, has had to accept that this was necessary. However, the rivals and lack of forgiveness is still there as far as Kim\u2019s concerned. She doesn\u2019t do fake friendships, she\u2019s not going to sit around and pretend to be best friends with Sarah, even if she does take the paycheck.\u201d<\/p>\n HBO Max announced Kim\u2019s season 2 AJLT<\/em> cameo on May 31, 2023, and she confirmed the news the following day during the kickoff of Pride Month.<\/p>\n \u201cHappy Pride \u2026..,\u201d which may have been a reference to her character once saying \u201cI\u2019m a \u2018trysexual.\u2019 I\u2019ll try anything once,\u201d during the third season of SATC<\/em> she wrote via Instagram.<\/p>\n Later that month, Kim opened up about her surprising decision to reunite on screen with her Sex and the City<\/em> costars SJP, 59, Kristin Davis<\/strong> and Cynthia Nixon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, \u2018What can we do?\u2019 and I went, \u2018Hmm, Let me get creative,\u2019\u201d she said during an appearance on The View<\/em>. \u201cAnd one of those things was to get Pat Field back because I just thought that if I\u2019m going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style. I gotta push it. And we did.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim may have gotten a ring to play a part in season 2, but that wasn\u2019t the case during the premiere season. In 2022, the Vancouver Island native revealed that she learned about the Sex and the City<\/em> spinoff through social media \u2026 because she wasn\u2019t asked to return<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI made my feelings clear after the possible third [SATC<\/em>] movie, so I found out about it like everyone else did \u2014 on social media,\u201d she told Variety<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in May 2022.<\/p>\n SJP reacted to Kim\u2019s statement later that year and confirmed that she was not asked to join the spinoff. However, the reasoning didn\u2019t derive from hate.<\/p>\n \u201cShe made it clear that that wasn\u2019t something she wanted to pursue, and it no longer felt comfortable for us, and so it didn\u2019t occur to us,\u201d the Hocus Pocus<\/em> actress said during an appearance on The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u2018s \u201cAwards Chatter\u201d podcast. \u201cThat\u2019s not \u2018slamming\u2019 her, it\u2019s just learning. You\u2019ve got to listen to somebody, and if they\u2019re publicly talking about something and it doesn\u2019t suggest it\u2019s some place they want to be, or a person they want to play, or an environment in which they want to be, you get to an age where you\u2019re like, \u2018Well, we hear that.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
