One of the most frequently asked questions from comedy-drama fans And Just Like That is whether the iconic character of Samantha Jones will be present in the second season of the platform’s production of streaming HBOMax.
The answer to that unknown is yes! and we do not say it, but its creator Michael Patrick King, who during an interview for the magazine Variety He shared some details of his next installment of chapters, among which he confirmed that the characters Carrie and Samantha will continue to be in contact but through text messages.

That is why the idea of sending text messages was the best way to keep Samantha in the story after Kim Cattrall said that she no longer wanted to play her character because she had been mistreated in 2010 during the recording of Sex and the City 2.
Following Cattrall’s reluctant refusal to play the character, the idea arose to create an alternative storyline in which, despite not showing her on camera, Carrie and Samantha’s friendship continues even though the latter left New York for London.
The main idea is to reincarnate her by sending text messages to the character played by Sarah Jessica Parker, which will be written as if Samantha sent them.
When asked about what Carrie and Samantha talked about during the final scene, after the character played by Sarah Jessica Parker scattered the ashes of her beloved Big in the Seine River, King replied:
It’s really funny, because each of the writers has a different version of what happened during that conversation. I think there was a back and forth between adults and a love story where they realized that something is more important than being afraid to heal. Once Carrie let go of an old, old love, one of her current loves came back.
Respecting his greatest rule of not telling things until they are a fact, the director assured that his idea is to bring the entire cast together so that there are no misunderstandings.
In addition to confirming the return of Samantha Jones’s character, we will again see Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis playing Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt, respectively.
