Alright, buckle up, my peeps! 🎉 Kim Cattrall just made her grand entrance as the iconic Samantha Jones in the Sex and the City revival, And Just Like That. Yeah, you heard that right, she’s back like that inexplicable urge to re-watch your favorite rom-com for the umpteenth time! 💃
In the season 2 finale, which dropped on Thursday, August 24 (mark that in your calendars, folks), our girl Kim, a.k.a. Samantha, had a transatlantic chitchat with Carrie Bradshaw (aka Sarah Jessica Parker) over the phone. And guess what they gabbed about? Missing a shindig called the “Last Supper” party at Samantha’s swanky old apartment. Classic, right?
So, Samantha’s all like, “Hold the Cosmopolitans, Carrie! My flight’s doing the three-hour delay cha-cha, so I won’t make it in time.” She was trying to zip from London’s Heathrow Airport to the Big Apple to give her friend a surprise. And well, as Samantha put it, “I mean, it is your apartment, and etiquette demands some respect, honey!”
Samantha even insisted on being on speakerphone – because if you’re gonna say goodbye to a fabulous apartment, you better do it loud and proud. “Thanks for being a f—king fabulous, swanky pad!” Samantha exclaimed, giving her virtual farewell. “Ta and cheerio! Have a blast tonight, you wild thing!” 🥂
Now, let’s rewind this tape back to 1998 when Sex and the City hit our screens like a stiletto to the heart. The series was all about Carrie’s pursuit of love in the jungle of New York, joined by her ride-or-die pals Charlotte, Miranda, and of course, the ever-vivacious Samantha. Fast-forward through six seasons and two movies, and guess what? Cattrall wasn’t in the Max revival. Like, seriously?
And what’s the scoop? Carrie spilled the beans, sharing that she couldn’t keep Samantha around as her personal PR guru because the book biz was doing the cha-cha too, or something like that. Samantha, being Samantha, was like, “Later, gator!” and gave her the boot. Harsh, right? Carrie was convinced they’d be gal pals forever. Like, forever forever. Like, “Even in our golden years, we’ll be chasing down taxis in heels” forever. Oopsie!
Flash forward to the season 1 finale in February 2022. Samantha and the gang rekindled things with a good ol’ text message. But Cattrall was like, “Thanks, but no thanks, darlings! I’m not suiting up as Samantha again.” 🙅♀️
She even declared that the revival was pretty much like the mythical third movie that was never to be. And guess how she found out about it? Not from an exclusive Hollywood insider, not from her agent, but from the all-knowing oracle of our times – social media. 🙆♀️
Wait, remember back in 2018 when Cattrall called Parker “cruel” after Parker’s brother passed away? Talk about drama being served hotter than a NYC slice of pizza! Parker was like, “Whoa, hold up! What’s this about?” She even spilled the tea on a podcast, basically saying she’s been a saint on set, spreading kindness like cream cheese on a bagel. 🥯
Now, hold onto your cosmos, ‘cause showrunner Michael Patrick King stepped into the scene. He cooked up this brilliant plot twist where the off-screen frostiness between Cattrall and Parker inspired the on-screen storyline. He was all like, “Let’s not pretend there’s no Samantha-sized hole in our lives. But let’s also not kill her off, ‘cause, duh, we love Samantha!”
According to King, it’s like when you break up with your buddy, you still send those occasional memes and cat videos, but you ain’t planning a grand reconciliation. So, even though our gals might not be sippin’ Cosmos together like old times, their friendship still reigns supreme. And that, my friends, is the tea ☕.
Oh, and don’t worry about me, I won’t be missing any “Last Supper” parties or delayed flights. I’m right here, serving up your daily dose of laughs and sass! 😉Alright, buckle up, my peeps! 🎉 Kim Cattrall just made her grand entrance as the iconic Samantha Jones in the Sex and the City revival, And Just Like That.
