Samantha Jones’ presence in the two seasons of And Just Like That

Speaking of her character, Cattrall went into the details of the character arc that was presented to Samantha in the first two seasons of And Just Like That. The actress shared, "Samantha is present in season 1 and more so in season 2 via text. It was just a nice nod to the 25 years [of Sex and the City] to add the face to the text.”

She continued, "And it's a really opportune moment in the story—a consequential event happening in Carrie's life—that Samantha rings, and they have this quick, lovely, sentimental, funny call. And it just feels normal and really nice, and I'm glad that we could manage it, work it out, and get it sorted time-wise and schedule-wise."

The filming of And Just Like That has begun in New York. The creators will soon release more information about the show.
