Kim Cattrall Finally Revealed If Samantha Jones Will Return To 'And Just Like That...' Season 3
And just like that, Kim Cattrall revealed whether she'll return to the Max sequel series. The actress starred as Samantha Jones in Sex and The City from 1998-2004, and revived the role in two post-finale movies. While she made an appearance in And Just Like That... season 2, fans have been hoping we'll see her again in season 3, which will stream on Max in 2025.
Aw that’s so kind but I’m not 💋

When a fan shared an article from Elle claiming Samantha Jones (and Kim Cattrall) would return for And Just Like That... season 3, Kim responded to the post saying "Aw that's so kind but I'm not 💋." With the straightforward delivery (and the kiss emoji), this tweet is exactly the kind of thing Samantha herself would say — and it didn't take long for fans to respond.
"Kim, you were the whole reason I watched SATC to begin with," one user tweets. "Love your work! Miss you!"
"Our QUEEEEEEEEN!!!!" another user says.

Kim Cattrall explained her reasons for not joining And Just Like That... in 2022, revealing she was never asked to join the reboot after expressing her disinterest in a potential third movie. (The third movie in question featured Samantha receiving unwanted photos from Miranda's 14-year-old son.) "It’s heartbreaking," she tells Variety, adding it's an "understatement" to say the third movie didn't allow Samantha to progress.
"Can you imagine going back to a job you did 25 years ago?" she continues. And with the story's added complexity and struggles, the job only got more complicated. "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?"
"It’s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough,” she says. “I also didn’t want to compromise what [Sex and the City] was to me. The way forward seemed clear.”
