Kim Cattrall Re-emerges as Samantha Jones for Brief ‘And Just Like That...’ Cameo Despite Tensions with SJP

Cattrall's surprise appearance in the finale was intended as a gift to fans but details were leaked in advance, disappointing the show's stars.
Cattrall had conditions for her return, including bringing back the show's original costume designer, with whom she has an ongoing working relationship.
Cattrall's cameo represents a reconciliation between her character and Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie after Cattrall's absence from the show's first season.
The stars hope Cattrall's appearance fulfills fan expectations despite her feud with Parker and previous criticisms of the revival.
Cattrall has said this cameo will be her final portrayal of the beloved PR exec Samantha Jones.
