As the third season of Sex and the City sequel series And Just Like That… approaches, rumours had started to swirl that Kim Cattrall would be reprising her role as Samantha Jones in the new episodes.

Cattrall previously returned to play Samantha in the show’s season 2 finale, in a sequence where she was seen on the phone to Carrie, apologising for not being able to make a party. The scene was reportedly shot without any interaction between Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, after the duo publicly fell out years ago.

However, Life & Style had reported an insider as saying “it’s assumed that they’ve done a deal with Kim and they’re just waiting for the right time to announce it”.

The insider continued: “The word is that she’ll get to do all her scenes in London. They’ll be bending over backwards to pay her an absolute fortune, and it’s all on her terms because she’s so central to the franchise.

“Everyone, including Sarah, has had to accept that this was necessary. However, the rivals and lack of forgiveness is still there as far as Kim’s concerned. She doesn’t do fake friendships, she’s not going to sit around and pretend to be best friends with Sarah, even if she does take the paycheck.

“It’s still open as to whether she’ll even film any scenes with the other women, but certainly she doesn’t want to break bread with them off camera and pretend like nothing ever happened…”

As rumours began to swirly following this report, one fan wrote on Twitter, which has been re-branded as X, that it “looks like” Cattrall would be returning.

Cattrall then replied, seemingly putting the rumours to rest by saying: “Aw that’s so kind but I’m not.”
