There’s no time like the current!
Last week, The Post exclusively confirmed that Kim Cattrall could be returning for a cameo of her character, sexy publicist Samantha Jones, in Season 2 of the “Sex and The City” spinoff “And Just Like That…”
But she was singing a distinct tune just two weeks before the news broke.
Cattrall said that she was done talking about “AJLT” and “SATC” and didn’t even wish to be on set anymore in an interview with the UK Sunday Times that was conducted last month.
“I moved on,” Cattrall claimed to the outlet on the time. “I feel the best place to barter from, regardless of the situation, is from strength and self-knowledge.”
She continued, “Also, at this point in my life I don’t wish to be on a set and be unhappy. I need it to be on terms which are artistically fulfilling and likewise that I’m comfortable.”
Nevertheless, it looks like Cattrall hasn’t exactly given up on the spinoff, which premiered its first season on Max in 2021, as she will probably be making what insiders called a “hush-hush” cameo within the second season.
“The incontrovertible fact that they’re keeping it very hush-hush says that there’s some implication that she is perhaps coming back — not this season, but it surely’s definitely a cliffhanger that’s gonna get people to return back for Season 3,” an insider recently told The Post about Cattrall’s cameo.
The Post also learned that her comeback was kept so under wraps that her name didn’t even appear on a call sheet.
The second season is slated to premiere on June 22 with 11 episodes — including a two-part finale.
Through the freshman season of the spinoff series, the script wrote off Jones’ character by claiming that she had moved to London after a falling out with Carrie Bradshaw, who’s played by Sarah Jessica Parker.
There have been rumors — and even some seeming evidence — of a feud between Cattrall and the remaining of the “And Just Like That…” solid, but in an interview last May, she set the record straight by explaining that she was the one who selected to not return to the spinoff.
“I used to be never asked to be a part of the reboot,” Cattrall said in an interview with Variety on the time.
“I made my feelings clear after the possible third movie, so I discovered about it like everyone else did — on social media.”
In 2017, the women were expected to film a 3rd “Sex and the City” movie, but it surely quickly got here to a screeching halt after there was supposed drama between the solid and Cattrall.
On the time, an article, published by the Each day Mail, allegedly revealed Cattrall’s “demands” for the movie.
Only one yr later, in 2018, Cattrall slammed former co-star Parker for talking about her brother’s death in an interview on TV.
“I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time,” Cattrall wrote within the post, which is still up today, tagging Parker.
“Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you actually were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You usually are not my family. You usually are not my friend,” she also wrote within the caption. “So I’m writing to let you know one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in an effort to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
But despite the message, Parker maintained in an interview with The Post published just just a few days after the general public call-out that she isn’t, in actual fact, feuding with Cattrall.
“I don’t have a disagreement with Kim [Cattrall], there’s no catfight,” Parker revealed on the time.
“I’ve never said anything publicly, nor would I. I’ve only ever expressed admiration and gratitude for every little thing she contributed — and I still feel that way.”
The unique hit “Sex and the City” ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2004.
