Watch: Kim Cattrall Made HOW MUCH for AJLT Cameo?

Kim Cattrall is setting the record straight about rumors of a return to And Just Like That.

The actress debunked reports that alleged she would reprise her role of Samantha Jones in the upcoming third season of Max's Sex and the City sequel series.

"Aw that’s so kind," Kim wrote on X, formerly Twitter, July 21, "but I’m not."

The 67-year-old had originated the role on Sex and the City, reprised it in two films and made a cameo as Samantha on season two of And Just Like That last year in a scene she filmed alone. Her surprise return to the Sex and the City universe came amid years of rumored tensions with lead actress Sarah Jessica Parker.

It is widely believed, following the success of her cameo in the second season, that Cattrall has signed on to reprise her role of Samantha Jones for the sequel's third outing, which is currently filming in and around New York City.

Kim had already said last year that she had no plans to appear on And Just Like That beyond her season two cameo. Speaking on the Today show in June 2023, the actress said, "This is as far as I'm gonna go."

However, Kim keeps her character close to her heart. "I don't think I'll ever say goodbye to Samantha," she added. "She's like a lot of other characters that I've done over the years. I get very emotionally attached and protective of my characters. She gave me so much and I'm so appreciative of her."
