“Sex and The City” fans were thrilled when “And Just Like That” was announced. The TV sequel series featured three of the main characters. Sarah Jessica Parker returned as Carrie Bradshaw. Meanwhile, Cynthia Nixon reprised the role of Miranda Hobbs and Kristen Davis returned as Charlotte York. However, Kim Cattrall didn’t return as the fan-favorite Samantha Jones.Cattrall’s feud with her “Sex and The City” co-stars has been well documented. It’s also been reported that there wasn’t a third “SATC” movie because of Cattrall’s complaints about the script (via Insider).

During a recent interview with Extra, Cattrall said that despite multiple mentions of Samantha during “And Just Like That,” she won’t be returning. “Samantha lives forever in DVD land and she’s as great as she ever was and I love her and I feel she is protected and life goes on.”

Kim Cattrall won’t return as Samantha during And Just Like That Season 2

When asked if she would consider appearing on “And Just Like That” for Season 2, she said she was invoking “the power of the hard no.”

In the new TV series, Samantha lives on via text messages to Carrie Bradshaw. Kim said of the character continuing without her, “It’s odd, isn’t it? I don’t know how to feel about it. It’s so finite for me, so it doesn’t continue,” she said.Cattrall went on to reveal that she may have considered returning as Samantha in “And Just Like That” if she didn’t have other projects to focus on, such as her role as the older version of Hilary Duff’s character on Hulu’s “How I Met Your Mother.”

Cattrall is focused on other projects such as How I Met Your Father

“I think I would ponder it more if I didn’t have something like ‘Queer as Folk’ or ‘How I Met Your Father.’ That’s kind of where I’m centered around. This feels like an echo of the past,” she said. “Other than the really wonderful feeling of — it’s rare in my business — people wanting more, especially at 65. That feels powerful, that I’ve left something behind that I’m so proud of. I loved her. I loved her so, so, so much. It’s tough competition. The original show is in all of our imaginations. But for me, it feels clean.”

For now, it seems that “Sex and The City” fans will have to be happy with watching Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda’s stories as they continue to navigate love and life while leaning on one another.
