The Stunning Comeback of Kim Cattrall: Her Unbelievable TV Show Surpasses Sex and the City's Reboot

Kim Cattrall's new TV show, Glamorous, marks her true return as Samantha, rather than the Sex and the City reboot. She made the decision not to join the original cast for the first season of And Just Like That due to issues with the cast and a new career direction. In Glamorous, she portrays Madolyn Addison, the head of a cosmetic company, who hires Marco Mejia to disrupt the fashion industry. The news of her return for the second season of And Just Like That has surprised and delighted fans. While it will be exciting to see her on the show, there are concerns about how her character will fit into the existing dynamics. In a way, Samantha has already made her fabulous comeback, but on Netflix.

Kim Cattrall's Glamorous Character Is A Better Samantha Jones Return Than Her And Just Like That Cameo

Kim Cattrall's reprise of her character, Madolyn Addison, is a far more impressive return than a simple cameo on "And Just Like That." As the driving force behind Glamorous, Madolyn is intricately woven into the plot, both directly and indirectly. When she graces the screen, she commands the audience's attention, and even when she's not present, she remains a constant topic of discussion. Madolyn's appearance, fashion choices, and behavior perfectly encapsulate an older version of Samantha Jones, making her portrayal feel like a grand revival of the beloved character.

Unfortunately, Samantha's return in season 2 of "And Just Like That" may not meet the fans' expectations. In the previous season, Samantha had distanced herself from New York and ignored Carrie's attempts to reach out. However, there were glimpses of her presence, such as the heartfelt flower arrangement she sent for Big's funeral. The season finale hinted at Samantha's eventual response to Carrie and the potential for a cameo in season 2. However, current information suggests that this cameo may not involve any of the original cast members.

Kim Cattrall's Glamorous Role Is A Reminder Of How Much SATC's Reboot Needs Samantha

Cattrall strutting down the hallways of Madolyn's office building serves as a poignant reminder of how much Samantha Jones is missed on television. Her every barbed line delivery only underscores the void she has left on the Sex and the City reboot. The absence of Sam not only disappoints fans but also leaves Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda feeling unmoored and oddly restrained without their fearless and passionate friend. Sam would undoubtedly have had plenty to say about Charlotte's parenting methods, Carrie's mourning, and Miranda's relationship with Che. It is a shame that fans never had the opportunity to hear her perspective.

The lack of impact Samantha has had on the show significantly contributes to And Just Like That not feeling like a true Sex and the City reboot. The similarities between Madolyn and Samantha further emphasize the missed opportunity of Cattrall's return not being better integrated. While fans may appreciate having some semblance of Sam in the second season of And Just Like That, they can truly witness her greatness by indulging in a binge-watching session of Glamorous, where they won't have to settle for anything less, just as Samantha certainly wouldn't.
