Good news for “Sex and the City” fans. And Just Like That… Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) will appear in the second season of “Sex and the City: A New Chapter.
However, it is a short scene, just a cameo. The filming took place on March 22 in the parking lot of a New York studio.
The fact that Cattrall would be in the film was kept top secret, and her name was not on the paper with the details of that day’s shooting, so the crew was surprised when they saw her. The other cast members, including Sarah Jessica Parker, who played Carrie, were not on the set, nor was Michael Patrick King, the executive producer. It was the CEO of HBO, not Parker or King, who approached Cattrall about appearing in the film, so they did not have to make contact with people they did not want to see or talk to each other. That is why it was made possible.
The Parker-Jones disagreement has been around for quite some time. When talk of the first movie, which was to be made immediately after the original TV series ended, was once scuttled, it was said to be because Cattrall, who was paid only one-third of Parker’s salary, demanded an increase in his fee. After that, the film was produced and a sequel was made, finding “a way to satisfy everyone,” according to King. However, when the project for the third film was canceled just before filming was to begin, the relationships behind the scenes came to the surface.
According to reports, the reason for the cancellation was that Cattrall had mentioned as a condition of her appearance that Warner Brothers, the production and distribution company, would give the go-ahead for another project she had, and the studio did not agree. The other parties involved were reportedly greatly dissatisfied because of one person’s selfishness. However, Cattrall denied making such a request and tweeted, “The only request I made was, ‘I will not be in the movie. In a subsequent interview, he also said that he felt that he was done with the role after the second film, and that he was even more convinced of this when he turned 60 years old.
Cattrall’s side of the story.
Cattrall also hinted that there were other villains besides himself. In an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, Cattrall said of Parker, “He could have been a better person. I don’t see what the problem is.” When Cattrall’s brother passed away and Parker sent her condolences, Cattrall wrote, “Sarah Jessica Parker, I don’t need your love and support in this tragedy,” along with a large image that read, “Every time you contact me, I remember how cruel you are and always have been. Let me be clear. You are not my family. You are not my friend. Stop exploiting other people’s tragedies to regain your image of a good person,” he posted on Instagram.

In the midst of all this, he said that during the filming of the original series, Parker, Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda, and Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte, stayed in the same house when filming on location in Atlantic City, but Cattrall had to find her own place to stay, etc, Old stories also surfaced. Parker, it was said, was not amused by the popularity of Samantha, who was bold enough to do sex scenes and make viewers laugh.
In any case, it would indeed be too false to play best friends on screen if the story got this far. Parker and King did not reach out to Cattrall when it came time to continue “Sex and the City” in distribution, perhaps out of concern that they would get into trouble again for negotiating appearances. The reason for Samantha’s absence is explained in the first episode, when Carrie, no longer needing a publicist, is angry that Samantha has cut a professional deal with her and has gone to London. However, in the final episode of the series, the two met for the first time in a long time, showing that their friendship has not completely disappeared.
Leaving open the possibility of a third season?
Still, I didn’t expect her to show her face in the next season. Now that the news has been lifted like that, expectations for the second season, which begins on the 22nd of this month, will surely increase. To be honest, the first season was not well received by fans. Of course, some of the characters have matured in age, but some fans perceived the story and tone as too dark and serious, and some said that they wished Samantha were still around.
However, Samantha’s appearance is apparently going to be in the last episode of the season, which has 11 episodes, and fans will have to wait until then. Does the fact that they are bringing her out there mean that they are leaving open the possibility of a third season? Vin Diesel, who refused to appear in the second “Wild Speed” film, made a surprise cameo at the end of the third film, which was so well received that he returned for the fourth film not only as lead actor but also as producer. I feel like the road is too steep for something similar to happen, but Aidan (John Corbett) will be back this season, and anyway, as a fan, “And Just Like That…” The second season has become something not to be missed.
