“I wasn’t able to be in New York doing that and be in Paris doingEmily in Paris,” she added. “But I told them to call my very dear friend Molly Rogers, who also worked in my store back in the day. She didSex and the Citywith me from start to finish. She knew it well so she’s doing it. My dance card was full.”

Cattrall and Field have remained close since their time on set and appeared to have recently had dinner together, according to Cattrall’sInstagram post. “My dinner with @Pat_Field A true friend and confidant,” Cattrallwroteon social media last week with a photo of the designer.
While the Cattrall cameo may come as a surprise, King toldVarietylast June thatSamatha would be part of the upcoming season, which premieres June 22. When he was recently asked if the character of Samantha will reappear in season 2, King responded, “Yes!”
King, 68, was hesitant to share much more information about the upcoming season. “It’s all so new right now,” he explained at the time. “One of my big rules is, don’t tell things until they’re real.”
He added, “My goal is to bring all the characters into the mix together, so that they’re not so much on separate runways.”
Samantha Jones was featured in the first season via text message exchanges with Carrie. However, Cattrall has been vocal in the past about not wanting to return to the franchise.
“The series is basically the third movie. That’s how creative it was,” she toldVarietylast year. “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.”
Parker, 58, also confirmed on theThe Hollywood Reporter’sAwards Chatterpodcast in June 2022 that they"did not ask"Cattrall to return.
