Kim Cattrall has revealed why she decided to make a surprise return for season 2 of Sex In The City reboot And Just Like That…
The Golden Globe winner was recently on American talk show The View where she took the time to open up about returning to the screen as Samantha Jones.
“It's very interesting to get a call from the Head of HBO saying ‘What can we do?’ ” said the British-Canadian actor.
Cattrall told HBO that she would agree to come back for a scene on the condition that the show would also bring back Patricia Fields, an experienced fashion designer from the original Sex In The City TV shows and movies.
“She knows my body really well,” said Cattrall.

Fields’ won an Emmy and four Costume Designer Guild Awards for her work on Sex In The City and is also known for her work in The Devil Wear Prada and Emily in Paris.
