After remote verbal ping pong between Kim Cattrall and her former colleagues of Sex and the City (lastly it was Sarah Jessica Parker who commented on the cast frictions) comes a novelty much awaited by fans. In the episodes of the second season – coming in the summer of 2023 – of And just like thata sequel to the cult broadcast on Sky and NOW, showrunner Michael Patrick King told Variety that yes, Samantha Jones’ character will make her return.
In the first cycle of episodes, in fact, the famous PR moved to London following professional differences with Carrie. In fact, due to the pandemic, the journalist asked her friend to suspend their working relationship because she did not have enough engagements to be able to afford her advice.
The writers used this version to explain the fact that Samantha does not speak to her friends even on the phone, nor did she show up at Mr. Big’s funeral, only sending a bouquet of flowers along with a message of condolence.
Although there have been no great anticipations, the showrunner explains: “My goal is to bring the characters back togethertherefore do not expect separate ways between them ».
The cast will return to the set in October and, apparently, it will pick up where it left off, with Carrie scattering Big’s ashes on the Seine in Paris on the eve of a meeting with Samantha. What really happened between the two (ex) friends? “Every screenwriter has a whole idea of him – explains King – about what they said. I think the meeting was based on champagne. They had fun, they lived a memorable night and the differences were resolved ».
There are no previews on the other ladies of the Big Apple, but Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) will probably return home as well, as the production swears fans will have more moments with Che (Sara Ramirez), the non-binary comedian the lawyer falls in love with before realizing she wants to divorce her husband Steve (David Eigenberg). The public has suffered a lot for how the man was mistreated and sidelined quickly in the evolution of the story and at the same time did not particularly like the development of the new character. Ramirez herself has partly distanced herself from her role by saying that she doesn’t look like her, but she is still a fictional creature determined not to ask anyone’s permission to follow her nature.
Love is in the air, in short, and has no intention of straying away from the protagonists very easily.
