Kim Cattrall REVEALS Why She ALMOST Missed Out on SATC

by

In 1998, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Cattrall captivated audiences worldwide with the debut of Sex and the City. The show demonstrated that it was a bold series based in New York City, featuring complex female characters driven by friendships, romantic adventures, and personal ambitions. However, before Sex and the City became a cultural phenomenon, Kim Cattrall had reservations and only agreed to join after her fourth offer.

Let’s go back in time before we start. More precisely, let’s consider the situation prior to “And Just Like That” being listed on our 2025 TV schedule. This includes discussions about the hypothetical reboot, the tension between Cattrall and Parker that resurfaced, and the entire Sex and the City franchise. The actress from “Mannequin” explained to The Times why she needed four invitations before agreeing to play Samantha Jones, and her reasons revolve around her audience’s (and her own) perceptions about her age. In her own words:

Transforming the concept: Personal Ageism Overcoming it – At 40, it’s not just acceptable, it’s attractive. It turned into, ‘Wow, more please!’

It’s fortunate that societal expectations regarding ageism have evolved, as I don’t think anyone else could have portrayed Jones as brilliantly as Cattrall did. This sentiment isn’t misguided; the ’80s were marked by significant social transformations, particularly in Hollywood, and breaking free from stereotypical roles and rigid character templates was a remarkable achievement.

On Max, you can stream both “Sex and the City” and “And Just Like That.” The With Ads plan starts at just $9.99 per month, and there are three different plans to choose from after subscribing. Check out the deal now!

On the other hand, the renowned actress, Fabulous, was known not only for her fabulous roles but also for the numerous encounters, Jones, she found herself in during that time. These meetings were daring even by today’s standards, irrespective of age. It’s heartening to recall how things were evolving back then. The Samantha actress bravely stepped up and made bold decisions, setting new trends among her peers.

Over the years, watching the lives of these four friends has become one of the most popular romantic comedies, still highly appreciated today. Characters like Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha were skillfully combined, portraying the complexities of love while balancing their professional careers. This blend is what kept them on air for six seasons and led to three movies, with fans eagerly anticipating more.

I’ve heard some intriguing whispers about the potential third season of “And Just Like That,” and it seems that rumors surrounding Kim Cattrall’s iconic character Samantha and Carrie exchanging a racy photo with Mr. Bean have taken an unexpected twist! However, I can’t help but wonder: what truth lies behind these captivating tales?

With a Max subscription, you can enjoy the original OG series. Interestingly, the megastreamer also tackled the reboot titled And Just Like That…, yet Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Samantha Jones will no longer be seen as Cattrall decided to step away from the HBO original series. Her absence has sparked a significant reaction among fans, hinting at the impact and legacy of her role as the PR exec. While there was a brief glimmer of hope with Cattrall’s reappearance in AJLT during the season 2 finale, it seems that her return might not happen again, judging by current indications.

In much the same way, it’s common knowledge how Kim Cattrall hesitated slightly before agreeing to portray Ms. Samantha Jones in the popular series, Sex and the City.
