Kim Cattrallmay have secretly had her eyes on a return to Sex and the City well before fans knew Samantha Jones would be back on the scene in season 2 ofAnd Just Like That….
While speaking toThe Times U.K.back in May, Cattrall reiterated her publicly stated lack of interest in appearing in the revival series — though she seemingly hinted at the possibility of negotiations.
Though theHow I Met Your Fatherstar said she had “moved on” from the franchise, she added, “I think the greatest place to negotiate from, whatever the situation, is from strength and self-knowledge.”
“At this point in my life I don’t want to be on a set and be unhappy. I want it to be on terms that are artistically fulfilling and also that I am happy,” she explained, alluding to reports of alleged on-set tension between her and her former costarSarah Jessica Parker.

In her return, which will take place in the season 2 finale, Cattrall’s character will reportedly speak over the phone to Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw.Varietyreported that Cattrall filmed her scene in March 2023 in New York City “without seeing or speaking with the stars of the series” including Parker,Cynthia NixonandKristin Davis. She also reportedly did not interact with series creatorMichael Patrick King.
Back in February 2022, Parkertold the publicationshe wouldn’t be comfortable with Cattrall’s return to theSex and the City.
“I don’t think I would, because I think there’s just too much public history of feelings on her part that she’s shared,” the 58-year-old actress said. “I haven’t participated in or read articles [where she’s spoken about me and the show], although people are inclined to let me know.”

“Can you imagine going back to a job you did 25 years ago?” she said at the time. “And the job didn’t get easier; it got more complicated in the sense of how are you going to progress with these characters?”
Cattrall continued, “Everything has to grow, or it dies. I felt that when the series ended, I thought that’s smart. We’re not repeating ourselves. And then the movie to end all the loose ends. And then there’s another movie. And then there’s another movie?”
She went on to say that after the second movie, “Everything in me went, ‘I’m done.'”
