Cattrall played sex-positive PR and fan-favourite Samantha Jones across six seasons and two film adaptations of Sex and the City.<\/p>\n
But Cattrall, who was reported to have had a real-life falling out with Sarah Jessica Parker, turned down a chance to return to the franchise following the 2010 film Sex and the City 2, meaning her absence from And Just Like That<\/a> was hardly a surprise.<\/p>\n In an interview with Variety<\/a>, Cattrall spoke about why she walked away from Sex and the City, reaffirming that she had no desire to return to the franchise: \u201cIt\u2019s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI also didn\u2019t want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear.\u201d<\/p>\n The opening scene of And Just Like That, which Cattrall confirmed she has not watched, addressed the character\u2019s absence by revealing that Samantha no longer talks to her friends Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davies).<\/p>\n When asked about the direction And Just Like That had taken her character, Cattrall admitted she felt it was in a strange one: \u201c[It] feels different than the Samantha that I played.\u201d<\/p>\n Cattrall went on to say that was never asked to be part of And Just Like That and that she found out about the reboot the same way fans of the franchise did \u2013 on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cI made my feelings clear after the possible third movie,\u201d she added. \u201cThe series is basically the third movie. That\u2019s how creative it was.\u201d<\/p> Cattrall has instead been busy with other TV projects this year, playing Sophie on Hulu\u2019s How I Met Your Father<\/a> and Brenda on Peacock\u2019s reboot of Queer as Folk.<\/p>\n She is also set to star alongside Robert De Niro in upcoming comedy film About My Father.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, And Just Like That proved a hit with audiences, and is set to return for a second season on HBO Max<\/a>, though a release date is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n And Just Like That is available to stream on\u00a0Sky Comedy<\/a> and on streaming service\u00a0NOW<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in the UK.\u00a0For all the latest news, visit our dedicated\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0hub, or find out what else to watch with our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking for something else to watch?
