Kim Cattrall Reacts To Samantha's Sex & the City 3 & Reboot Story
Kim Cattrall shares her reaction to further details of Samantha Jones's scrapped story from the proposed Sex and the City 3. The actress played the sexually voracious fan-favorite character on the original 6 seasons of HBO's Sex and the City as well as in its follow-up films, 2008's Sex and the City and 2010's Sex and the City 2. However, after the promised third film was scripted, she refused to join the project and it was scrapped, citing two storylines that minimized the character of Samantha: a sequence where she receives inappropriate photos from Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) underage son Brady, and the death of lead character Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) longtime romantic partner Mr. Big (Chris Noth).
Although Sex and the City3 never came to fruition, the skeleton of that script was later reworked into the reboot series And Just Like That, which began airing on HBO Max in late 2021. The series followed Miranda and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) helping Carrie process her grief over her husband's death as they continued to navigate love and sex in New York City in their 50s. Although many members of the original cast returned, including Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, and the late Willie Garson, Kim Cattrall upheld her refusal to reprise her role. The character of Samantha was written offscreen with a rift between her and Carrie that caused her to move to London and stop speaking to her old friend, though the And Just Like That finale implied the pair may have begun repairing their friendship.
