In a fleeting yet memorable scene, Samantha Jones graced our screens once more, leaving fans in awe.
In the season finale of “And Just Like That…” for its second season, Kim Cattrall reprised her iconic role from “Sex and the City” with a surprise appearance at the episode’s onset.
The scene unfolds as Samantha reaches out to Carrie Bradshaw (portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker), unveiling her intentions to fly in from London to surprise her during her “last supper” – an event where Carrie is saying goodbye to her cherished apartment with her close friends.
Learning of Samantha’s heartwarming gesture to visit New York just for this occasion leaves Carrie deeply moved. Samantha, with her signature flair, remarks, “Well, it’s your place, and I owe it a proper goodbye. So, switch to speaker mode, and hold up the phone for me.”
Samantha proceeds to express her gratitude for the apartment, calling it an “absolutely stunning flat.” She then ends the call by sending a virtual kiss and clutching the phone close to her heart.
This unforgettable moment wasn’t scripted, reveals Michael Patrick King, the show’s writer, director, and executive producer. On the “And Just Like That… The Writers Room Podcast”, King emphasized that this was purely Cattrall’s creative instinct, stating, “It’s a genuine moment, purely an actor being in the moment. It’s truly heartwarming.”
However, King shared his slight discontent over the leak of Cattrall’s cameo as Samantha prior to the episode’s airing. He had hoped to astonish viewers with Samantha’s unexpected call to Carrie.
“And Just Like That…” will be returning for a third season on HBO/Max.
The revival of iconic characters and unexpected moments like these make “And Just Like That…” a show that continues to captivate its audience, long after the original “Sex and the City” tales. With the promise of a third season, fans eagerly anticipate more nostalgic cameos and poignant moments that tug at the heartstrings, reminding everyone why they fell in love with these characters in the first place.
