It looks like Samantha Jones will not be killed off in the first season of the reboot, contrary to popular theories that sprung about when leaked <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/sex-and-the-city-just-like-that-movie-funeral-scene\/\">photos depicted the cast in funeral attire<\/a>. Fans of the show were immediately keen to conclude that due to Kim Cattrall&#8217;s refusal to join the reboot, they&#8217;d finish off Samantha&#8217;s storyline with the character&#8217;s death<\/p>\n<p>Much akin to real life theories (all speculative), the absence of Cattrall&#8217;s coveted vixen-character Samantha will be explained by a falling out between her and Carrie Bradshaw, of course played by Sarah Jessica Parker. This is extremely interesting, because it has been a rumor in the past that the reason Cattrall didn&#8217;t return for this series in the first place was due to clashes of personalities on set of the the original <em>Sex and the City<\/em>. Cattrall claims she just \u201cgrew out of her role of Samantha.\u201d But theories range from salary demands not being met to a feud with Sarah Jessica Parker.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Viewers will learn that Samantha and Carrie have fallen out over Carrie firing Samantha as her publicist and that they no longer talk,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10154399\/Samantha-Jones-NOT-dead-Sex-City-insiders-say-Cattralls-character-not-killed-off.html\" target=\"_blank\">an insider<\/a> said. &#8220;This effectively ends their personal relationship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39381\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39381\" style=\"width: 1174px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-39381\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/11\/AJLT-body.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"1174\" height=\"1053\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39381\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker seen on the set of &#8220;And Just Like That&#8230;&#8221; the follow up series to &#8220;Sex and the City&#8221; on the streets of Brooklyn on November 2, 2021 in New York City.

This isn&#8217;t a one off, this will be a series,&#8221; the insider said. &#8220;It will be quite a while between the first and second series as Sarah Jessica Parker has a busy schedule and we have a lot of work to do to get Kim Cattrall back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But the question remains, will Cattrall even want to come back? She seems pretty adamant about not wanting to return based on previous statements and concerns. But in reality, can there even be a\u00a0<em>Sex and the City<\/em> reboot without Samantha Jones?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all miss Kim and we hope she comes back for the second season \u2013 the door will never close on her, she is an important part of the franchise.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29250,"featured_media":39382,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>It Looks Like They&#039;re Not Actually Killing Off Samantha Jones in &#039;And Just Like That...&#039;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Just as we were all getting ready to hear the line &quot;Here lies Samantha Jones&quot; in the first season of\u00a0And Just Like That..., we got some news that may shake the whole\u00a0Sex and the City universe to its core.
