Kim Cattrall disses Sarah Jessica Parker and SATC reboot again- and vows to NEVER return to Samantha Jones role
SEX and the City alum Kim Cattrall has insisted she’ll never reprise her role as Samantha Jones as she once again dissed Sarah Jessica Parker and the reboot series.
In a new interview, the 65-year-old actress has broken her silence on HBO Max’s revival show, And Just Like That, and why she’s done with the whole franchise.
The first season of the SATC sequel series followed the latest adventures of Carrie Bradshaw (SJP) and her best friends Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon).
Kim's Samantha was noticeably absent, and though the show was recently renewed for a season 2, she told that viewers shouldn't expect her to show up in the next season or any season.
Speaking on why she turned down both doing a third SATC movie and the new revival series, she told the publication: “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.”

Kim went on to claim that she was “never” even “asked to be part of the reboot.
“I made my feelings clear after the possible third movie, so I found out about it like everyone else did — on social media,” she said.
Even if producers did ever reach out to her about appearing on the show, she has no interest in doing so.
She insisted that returning as Samantha is an absolute “no,” adding “it’s powerful to say no.”

The show explained her character’s absence by having breaking up Samantha and Carrie’s friendship, while also moving the former from New York to London.
This storyline appeared to mirror Kim and Sarah Jessica’s offscreen relationship, as well.
The actresses have notoriously feuded for years, with disagreements and snubs happening both behind the scenes and for the public to witness.
Kim was questioned about this, with the reporter asking: “Sarah Jessica has said that if you decided to play Samantha again, she wouldn’t be OK with that.
“Did that hurt your feelings? She said there was too much that had happened publicly between the two of you.”
While the How I Met Your Father star said she hadn’t yet “read” about that comment from SJP, she fired back: “Well, it would never happen anyway. So nobody has to worry about that.”
When flat-out asked if she and her SATC co-stars were ever friends or always at odds, Kim responded: “I guess it’s how you define friends. I think we were colleagues.
“My colleagues aren’t my friends. It was professional.”
She revealed she has not yet watched any of And Just Like That, though she has read a bit about it.
Kim slammed it as “odd” that they are continuing with her character, offscreen, without her.
“I don’t know how to feel about it,” the actresss continued. “It’s so finite for me, so it doesn’t continue.”
She added that she loved Samantha “so much” and the “the original show is in all of our imaginations, but for me, it feels clean” to be done with it.
While SJP is focused on And Just Like That, Kim has been focusing on other acting projects.
She's currently starring in Hulu's How I Met Your Mother spinoff, How I Met Your Father.
Like the original show, the new series sees the main character recounting to her son the story of how she met their father.
