Samantha’s Absence From ‘And Just Like That…’ Was Compensated With A Delightful Cameo
When the first season of ‘And Just Like That…’ premiered on Max in 2021, fans of the original show ‘Sex and the City‘ were disappointed by Kim Cattrall’s absence. In the sequel, her character Samantha leaves for London after a conflict with her friend Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker.
This was a clever plot twist that the creators added to the show to make sense of Cattrall’s choice not to reprise her role in the sequel. However, fans were overjoyed when she resurfaced in a brief cameo towards the end of Season 2. In that appearance, Samantha calls Carrie from London, implying a reunion.
This scene sparked hopes in fans’ hearts, who began anticipating Cattrall’s return to the sequel. However, the scene was filmed without Parker or showrunner Michael Patrick King, and was reportedly a one-time deal brokered after a direct appeal from HBO executives.
Speaking about it during an interview with Today, Cattrall said, “That’s as far as I’m going to go.” However, she also asserted that she holds a special place for her character Samantha. “I don’t think I’ll ever say goodbye to Samantha. She gave me so much, and I’m so appreciative of her,” the actress added.
