Kim Cattrall Drops Hints on Her Negotiation Strategy for 'And Just Like That' Cameo Unveiling, Demonstrating Her Mastery of the Art

Negotiations, a realm where fortitude reigns supreme, require one to be ready to walk away from the bargaining table. And this sagacious tactic has not eluded the insightful Kim Cattrall.

While recent news startled the world with reports of her reprising the iconic role of Samantha Jones for a brief cameo in the second season of HBO's resuscitated gem, "And Just Like That...," it was only a few weeks ago that she expressed her meager interest in becoming a part of the new series.

During an interview with the UK Sunday Times in May, Cattrall gracefully stated, "I moved on," referring to her relationship with the franchise. However, concealed within her words, a subtle nod to the intricate web of deals and negotiations that unfolded during her tenure on the show emerged. She artfully added, "I think the greatest place to negotiate from, whatever the situation, is from strength and self-knowledge."

The seasoned actress further elaborated, "At this point in my life, I don’t want to be on a set and be unhappy. I want it to be on terms that are artistically fulfilling and also that I am happy." Such wise words bear testament to her seasoned approach and discernment.

According to Variety, Cattrall ventured into the world of her beloved character once more, shooting a solitary scene for the upcoming episode in March. Remarkably, her cameo remained a closely guarded secret, absent from call sheets and shielded by meticulous precautions, as unveiled by the New York Post on May 31.

On Thursday, breaking her silence, Cattrall paid homage to her indelible character by taking to Instagram. She shared the electrifying headline that reverberated across the SATC universe, accompanied by a captivating snapshot of herself donning the character's garb.

Fans couldn't help but acknowledge the irony that Cattrall's character, known for her insatiable appetite for youthful paramours, eventually embraced a semblance of stability in Season 4 of the celebrated HBO series. Samantha Jones momentarily settled down with an artist named Maria Reyes, albeit fleetingly.

For six remarkable seasons, Cattrall enthralled audiences as the seductive publicist Samantha Jones, alongside the talented trio of Parker, Nixon, and Davis portraying the indomitable characters of Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York Goldenblatt, respectively. Furthermore, she revived the character's allure for two subsequent films. However, when Max's "And Just Like That..." spinoff gained momentum in 2021, her character bid farewell to the show, sans a grisly demise.

Reflecting on departing from the persona of Samantha, Cattrall shared her profound wisdom with Variety in May 2022, declaring, "It's great wisdom to know when enough is enough... I also didn't want to compromise what the show was to me."

The seasoned actress conveyed that after the second SATC movie, an innate realization reverberated within her being, whispering, "I'm done." Although she had already resolved not to reprise Samantha's role, Cattrall candidly revealed, "I was never asked to be part of the reboot. I made my feelings clear after the possible third movie, so I found out about it like everyone else did -- on social media."

Mark your calendars, for the second season of "And Just Like That..." which will officially grace the screens of Max on June 22, ushering viewers back into the enchanting world they hold so dear.
