This direct shutdown has fans everywhere talking!
Cattrall's surprise cameo in the second season of 'And Just Like That' had fans on the edge of their seats, hoping for more. After stepping away from the franchise following 2010's 'Sex and the City 2,' her brief return was a gift to viewers. However, the actress has been vocal about her decision to not continue in the role, telling Today in 2023, "This is as far as I'm going to go."
Cattrall's bond with Samantha Jones runs deep. "I don't think I'll ever say goodbye to Samantha. She's like a lot of other characters that I've done over the years. I get very emotionally attached and protective of my characters," she expressed. It's this emotional attachment that has made Samantha Jones a timeless character in the hearts of fans.
'Sex and the City' has been a cultural phenomenon, exploring the lives of "Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda," and "Samantha" in New York City. Despite Cattrall's absence from future projects, the legacy of "Samantha Jones" lives on through the series and its revival. The first season of 'And Just Like That' even found a way to include "Samantha", showing that friendships, even with their ups and downs, are forever.
"Samantha is present in season 1 and more so in season 2 via text. It was just a nice nod to the 25 years to add the face to the text," Sarah Jessica Parker previously told 'EW' of Cattrall's return.
"And it's a really opportune moment in the story, [a] consequential event happening in Carrie's life, that Samantha rings and they have this quick, lovely, sentimental, funny call. And it just feels normal and really nice, and I'm glad that we could manage it and work it out and get it sorted time-wise and schedule-wise."
