SJP Just Revealed She’s Not OK With Kim Cattrall Returning to ‘AJLT’—There’s Too Much ‘History’

In the years since their Sex And the City days, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall’s relationship has been on the rocks—and now, SJP has made it clear that she has no plans to work with Cattrall in the future.
During an interview with Variety, Parker, 56, was asked whether she would ever be OK with Cattrall rejoining the original SATC cast on HBO Max’s reboot, And Just Like That. Cattrall played fan-favorite Samantha Jones in the original series, which ran from 1998 to 2004, as well as in the show’s two spinoff films. But if it were strictly up to Parker, it sounds like there’s little potential for Cattrall to reprise her role in the future. “I don’t think I would [be OK with it], because I think there’s just too much public history of feelings on her part that she’s shared,” Parker shared. “I haven’t participated in or read articles, although people are inclined to let me know.”
Cattrall, for her part, refused to reprise her role as Samantha Jones in a third film adaptation of SATC, making it clear that she also had no interest in joining the cast of AJLT following her reported feud with Parker. Series showrunner Michael Patrick King also weighed in on her character’s absence in the reboot, noting that there are no plans to invite Cattrall back to the series “because she’s said what she has said.”
“We didn’t go to Kim for this, you know,” Parker added. “After we didn’t do the movie and the studio couldn’t meet what she wanted to do, we have to hear her and listen to her and what was important to her. It didn’t fit into what was important or needed for us.”
Parker went on to explain how AJLT continues to honor Cattrall’s character in the series without wiping her out completely. “There’s a very distinct line between
