Kim Cattrall Reacts To And Just Like That's Samantha Storyline
Kim Cattrall finally opens up publicly about Samantha Jones' And Just Like That... storyline. The show, which premiered on HBO Max on December 9, 2021, served as a revival and sequel series to hugely successful HBO comedy-drama show Sex and the City, a staple of '90s television. Sex and the City followed a group of 30/40-something New York women as they navigated life, love, and friendship in Manhattan. A cultural watershed, the show was praised for exploring difficult, important themes and became a huge success for HBO, spawning two movies: 2008's Sex and the City, and 2010's Sex and the City 2.
The original series ran six seasons and 94 episodes before concluding in February 2004. Cattrall played Samantha, one of the four main Sex and the City characters, in the show as well as the two movies. Despite a public feud with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, who played Carrie, the January 2021 announcement of sequel series And Just Like That... led to renewed hope among fans that Cattrall's Samantha would return. However, this proved not to be the case, with she being the only one of the original four left out of the revival.
