Kim Cattrall denies rumours she’ll make comeback in ‘Sex and the City’ franchise
Amid growing gossip she is set for a return as Samantha Jones, actress Kim Cattrall has denied rumours she will make a comeback in the ‘Sex and the City’ franchise.
Kim Cattrall has denied rumours she will make a comeback in the ‘Sex and the City’ franchise.
The 67-year-old actress found global fame playing sex-crazed publicist Samantha Jones in the series, and reprised the role in the second season of ‘SATC’ follow-up series ‘And Just Like That’.
But she has denied gossip she will return again for a new run of ‘AJLT’ – by writing the line on Instagram in response to a fan query if she was on her way back into the show: “Aw that’s so kind but I’m not (kiss emoji.)”
Kim has opened up about not wanting to be part of the new show, telling Variety in 2022 she didn’t like how her character was represented in the script for the never-produced third movie in the ‘SATC’ series.
She branded the portrayal “heartbreaking” in her chat with the magazine, and spoke of the hardship of playing a character for decades.
Kim added: “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?”
Kim had also previously said she wouldn’t come back to ‘AJLT’, with her last appearance in the franchise in the second ‘SATC’ feature film in 2010.
Kim starred as Samantha for six seasons of ‘SATC’ alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, 59, as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon, 58, as Miranda Hobbes and Kristin Davis, 59, as Charlotte York Goldenblatt.
Samantha was seen settling down in season four of the original series with artist character Maria Reyes, revealing to her on-screen friends over dinner: “Yes ladies, I’m a lesbian.”
She was then written out of the show, but not killed off.
