Kim Cattrall said she had no advance warning before news broke that Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) would reunite for “And Just Like That..."
After exiting the series of her own accord, Cattrall says she had no advance warning before news broke in late 2020 that Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) had decided to reunite for HBO Max’s "And Just Like That …" The streaming reboot premiered in December 2021 – and set Twitter afire – without Samantha.
Of course, Cattrall had made it abundantly clear in interviews that she was done playing Samantha, and in 2017 she turned down a script for the third "Sex and the City" movie. Chunks of that story – which centered on Mr. Big’s sudden death and Carrie’s grieving process – provided the seeds of inspiration for "And Just Like That …" But not everything made it into the show: In the film that didn’t happen, Samantha’s storyline reportedly revolved around her receiving unwanted "dick pics" from Brady, Miranda’s 14-year-old son.
