Ring a ding, ding… Samantha Jones is back in the building.
That’s right, Kim Cattrall is officially reprising her role as sex-crazed PR guru, “Jones,” in the second season of “And Just Like That.”
This news may surprise and delight “Sex And The City” fans.

Cattrall had a tumultuous relationship with his lead cast on the show, and their differing opinions led to Cattrall leaving the franchise for good.
Or so we thought.
The New York Post reported on Thursday, May 31, that the 66-year-old actress is secretly returning to her ‘SATC’ roots in the upcoming season of “And Just Like That.”
According to the outlet’s report, he filmed a “cliffhanger” scene for the new season, and the cameo was very “hush-hush.”
It was such a well-kept secret that many of the show’s staff and behind-the-scenes workers had no idea he was filming or even on set. Cattrall’s name did not appear on any of the call sheets, meaning there was no paper trail to spoil the surprise.

A source in revealing to Position how the staff reacted when they learned the news of the return.
They were “definitely surprised, very interested in how they were going to write this, and very excited.”
As previously mentioned, Cattrall’s move comes as a complete surprise, especially given his sordid past with Sarah Jessica Parker and ‘AJLT’ showrunner Michael Patrick King.
“He said he wouldn’t do it! He said he’s not coming back!” exclaimed the source.
Details about Cattrall’s cameo are slim, but here’s what we do know.
The scene was shot in March in a town car in a parking garage. Cattrall arrived to get into an SUV that was blacked out so the eyes wandered rather than saw him.
The second season of “AJLT” reached its MAX [previously HBO Max] on June 22.

After the release of the first season, many fans of the ‘SATC’ franchise were upset about Samantha’s lack of presence, and many expressed their distaste for the series on social media.
Last February, King explained that Cattrall was essentially blacklisted from ever returning to the franchise.

In a 2022 interview with various, King explained why fans won’t see Samantha on the show.
When asked if he would keep the door open for Cattrall, he replied, “No. Just like it didn’t occur to him that Kim would join him And Like Thatbecause he said what he said.”
King went on to say that he was firm in his stance that fans should not expect to see Cattrall on the show.
“The only place I partake in magical thinking is in fiction,” he says. “You take people at their word, and you’re a smart producer — you don’t back yourself into a corner. Thinking magically, it was great to have Samantha. I don’t expect a realistic Kim Cattrall to appear again.”
Ever since the original show ended in 2004, rumors began to circulate that the relationship between Cattrall and her co-stars was very volatile.

In 2017, the actor did a sit-down interview with British anchor Piers Morgan. She made some very touching comments about SJP, the show, and her future as Samantha.
When the news about the ‘SATC 3’ movie started to hit the media headlines, it was revealed that it was not made because of Cattrall’s “request” that she stopped the movie.
However, Cattrall tells a very different story to Piers.
He revealed that he had been saying ‘NO’ to a third film for over a year before SJP revealed his version of the story, which paints a grim picture of Cattrall.
“No one ever picks up the phone and tries to call you and says, ‘How are you?’ That would be the way to deal with it,” shared Cattrall, suggesting SJP wasn’t the only star to blame for the rift. “This is, it feels like, a toxic relationship.”

Cattrall also went on to say, “I think he is [Sarah Jessica] could be better. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.”
In December 2016, Cattrall said, “Thanks, but no,” to the third ‘SATC’ movie.
So, Cattrall knew for a long time that she wouldn’t be reprising her role as Samantha Jones, at least not with the OG cast.
