Other familiar faces such as Evan Handler, who plays Charlotte's husband Harry Goldenblatt, David Eigenberg, who plays Miranda's ex-husband, Steve Brady, and Mario Cantone, who plays Anthony Marentine, will also be back for season two.
Is Samantha Jones coming back to And Just Like That…?
In short, yes! Last month, it was confirmed that Kim Cattrall would be reprising her role as the iconic Samantha Jones for the upcoming new season.
The finer details of Kim's cameo in the show are, understandably, being kept under wraps, but what we do know is that Samantha, who is written in the show as now living in London, will appear in a scene in which she is on the phone to SJP's Carrie. It's also been reported that the scene in question will appear towards the end of the second season's run, so audiences will have to wait a few weeks before being reunited with the fan-favorite character.
Kim's return to the franchise came as a big shock to fans of the show given her very public fallout with Sarah Jessica Parker.
Why did Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker fall out?
Reports of a fallout between Kim and Sarah have circulated for several years now and when was announced, the removal of Samantha caused upset among die-hardfans.
Originally, the franchise was going to return in the format of a third movie and Kim previously expressed how she was reluctant to take part in a third film because she didn't see where the characters' stories could go. So, when it came to a spin-off TV show, fans perhaps assumed that Kim did not want to be involved, however, she then clarified that she "wasn't invited" to partake.
Although Sarah Jessica Parker insisted there was no fallout, Kim appeared on an episode of Piers Morgan's in which she said Sarah Jessica could have been "nicer" and that the environment on set was "toxic."
What's more, in an eye-opening post on social media, Kim described her former co-star as "cruel." Sarah Jessica had reached out to Kim to pass on condolences following the loss of her brother, Christopher Cattrall, but this was clearly not well received.
"I don't need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker," she wrote on Instagram in 2018, adding: "Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona."
How many episodes will there be of AJLT?
The first season of featured ten episodes and, luckily for fans, there's even more to look forward to because season two will consist of 11 episodes!
What does the future hold for And Just Like That…?
It's too early to tell whether will be back beyond season two, but according to a press release, the first season went down so well with viewers that it was one of HBO Max's biggest releases of the year and its likely season two will be just as successful.
Therefore, it's certainly possible that the show could return for a third season. But that will, of course, depend on the series storyline and whether bosses decide to give it the green light. Here's hoping…
