In the series finale, Carrie and Samantha vowed to reunite and in the second season, they will have a telephone conversation in the final episode.
In 2016, Cattrall publicly announced she would no longer play Samantha as she felt like the script for a proposed third film did an injustice to the character. She told Variety in 2022: “It’s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough.
“I also didn’t want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear.”
Cattrall’s decision to leave her role as Samantha then led to a public feud with Parker and when And Just Like That was announced, she was not approached to reprise her role as the PR guru.
