'And Just Like That' Showrunner Says Samantha's Character Will Be Featured In Season 2
etonline.com! Showrunner Michael Patrick King told that the character's phone communication from season one will reappear in the second season of his reboot.
King and his writers relied on texting to keep Kim Cattrall's character after she did not return to the show. The strategy was hailed as an innovative approach to a difficult situation, and though the writers only recently began work on the second season, Samantha’s texts were one of the few details King would confirm unequivocally.
Cattrall walked the red carpet at Variety's 2022 Power of Women event last month, where she spoke with ET and shared a message for fans who were disappointed that she wouldn't be returning. «I think the character of Samantha was awakened 25 years ago and she will live forever,» Cattrall reflected. «She's your best friend, and she's someone who will tell you the truth.
Because she's been there and done that.»«I love her so much,» she added. «But she lives in a time and a place, and I honor that.»When she received the honor later that evening, Cattrall took the moment to share how important the word «no» has been in both her personal and professional life, as referenced in her decision to walk away from the franchise. «Saying no to the past is saying yes to your future,» Cattrall said in her speech. «Because, ultimately, you are the screenwriter in the movie of your own life.»Earlier this month, Sarah Jessica Parker also broke her silence on Cattrall's exit and the fight that has since been rumored between both women.
