Kim Cattrall, who, to the disappointment of many fans, has been conspicuously absent from the “Sex and the City” revival, will appear in one scene of the second season, the streaming service Max announced on Thursday. Cattrall played the outspokenly sex-positive Samantha for six seasons and two films.
Sex and the City See Kim Cattrall
In the reboot, titled “And Just Like That,” the other three starring performers, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, played characters that had to deal with the romantic, professional, and family upheaval that comes with being in their mid-50s. Since the beginning of the series, there had been speculation about Kim Cattrall potential return because she had turned down the opportunity to appear in a third movie and there had long been rumours of tension between her and Parker.
According to a report on Thursday by Variety, Cattrall will appear in one scene—a phone call with Parker’s character, Carrie Bradshaw—in the upcoming season of the show Max (formerly known as HBO Max). This sequence was shot separately from the other actors’ scenes.
A request for feedback from a Cattrall representative was not promptly fulfilled. Samantha was typically a source of comic relief in the original series, thus fans and critics lamented her absence in the revival. Her absence is explained by a job in London, and in one episode, fans got a glimpse of her persona through a few text message bubbles to Bradshaw, including one that contained some lewd humour.

Since the conclusion of “Sex and the City,” Cattrall has appeared in “How I Met Your Father,” another acclaimed series revival, and starred in the Fox comedy “Filthy Rich,” in which she played the creator of a Christian television network.
She explained to Variety last year that she had made the decision not to rejoin the “Sex and the City” franchise because she did not want “to compromise what the show was to me,” adding that “It’s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough.”
