Samantha Jones' cameo in season 2 of And Just Like That features an improvised moment by Kim Cattrall. Despite only being referenced in the first season of the Sex and the City revival, Cattrall finally appeared in physical form in the Max series. Sam's cameo was highly anticipated in And Just Like That season 2, and although it was brief, it was still a delight to see her on screen.
In the season 2 finale of And Just Like That, Sam, who now resides in London, called Carrie to apologize for missing her apartment's farewell party. She had planned to make a last-minute trip to New York City for the occasion, but it didn't work out. After ending the call, Sam thanked the iconic brownstone unit for everything, bidding it farewell. The scene concludes with a kiss on the phone—a moment that was not scripted, as revealed by writer, director, and executive producer Michael Patrick King on the And Just Like That… The Writers Room podcast (via EW).
After the phone call ends, an astonishing occurrence takes place—Samantha plants a kiss on the phone.
This charming moment is not originally scripted, but rather an authentic display by the actor, making it all the more delightful.
Will Kim Cattrall's Sam Finally Reunite With Carrie In And Just Like That Season 3?
In the scene from season 2 of "And Just Like That," Carrie and Sam converse over the phone, but it is important to note that they were actually filmed separately. This means that Cattrall did not have any interactions with Sarah Jessica Parker or any other cast members during her cameo filming. Instead, her segment was filmed separately and later edited into the scene. Despite Cattrall's cameo, she remains estranged from Parker due to their public feud. Initially, Cattrall had been firm in her decision not to reprise her role in "And Just Like That," but she eventually changed her mind given the nature of her guest appearance.
Considering Cattrall's recent cameo, there is now interest in the potential of seeing her reunite with Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte in a more substantial way in the future. "And Just Like That" has been officially renewed for a third season, allowing ample time for Max to plan and execute the highly anticipated reunion. Of course, narratively speaking, it may be challenging to regularly feature Sam since she now resides in London. However, if she is willing to make a brief trip to New York in season 2, it is likely that she would be open to returning to the States for a weekend with the girls. As for now, King and the other writers of "And Just Like That" have numerous options for how to proceed with this idea.
The primary obstacle to this potential occurrence clearly lies in the hidden conflict between Cattrall and her co-stars from Sex and the City. Although Sam and Carrie maintain a strong friendship in And Just Like That, the situation in real life is considerably distinct. Regrettably, there appears to be no indication of it resolving in the near future.
