Kim Cattrall is stepping back into the shoes of her iconic Sex and the City character Samantha Jones.
Following Max’s confirmation Wednesday that the 66-year-old actress would make a cameo in season2 of And Just Like That…, Cattrall celebrated the news on Instagram.
“Happy Pride” she captioned the post, which conceded with the start of Pride Month.
The comment was seemingly a nod not only to the show’s fanbase, but also perhaps to her character’s sex-positive attitude. In fact, she famously shared, “I’m a ‘trisexual.’ I’ll try anything once” during the third season of SATC.
For her return, Cattrall’s character will reportedly speak over the phone with Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) in the season 2 finale.
According to Variety, Cattrall filmed the cameo on March 22 in New York City “without seeing or speaking with the stars of the series” including Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. Nor did she reportedly interact with series creator Michael Patrick King. However, she was dressed by Sex and the City designer Patricia Field for the appearance.
While the appearance may come as a surprise, King told Variety last June that Samatha would be part of the upcoming season, which premieres June 22. When he was recently asked if the character of Samantha will reappear in season 2, King responded, “Yes!”
King, 68, was hesitant to share much more information about the upcoming season. “It’s all so new right now,” he explained at the time. “One of my big rules is, don’t tell things until they’re real.”
He added, “My goal is to bring all the characters into the mix together, so that they’re not so much on separate runways.”
