The divisive And Just Like That left diehard original Sex and the City fans wanting more with its first season, so for the reboot's second installment, which began last week, HBO decided to bring out the big guns: the return of Kim Cattrall's Samanthan Jones.
The actress and her Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker had a notorious falling out in the lead up to the Michael Patrick King series, and once Kim maintained she would not be working with her former SATC crew, her iconic character was written out of the show.
However, that is all about to change, and now that the second season is underway, fans can't wait to see the highly-anticipated cameo comeback of Samantha, which will reportedly happen on the final episode of this latest season.

Ahead of the long-awaited appearance, Kim, who is also promoting her new Netflix show Glamorous, opened up on The View about how her ultimate participation in And Just Like That – after famously maintaining: "I don't want to be in a situation for even an hour where I'm not enjoying myself" – came to be.
When asked by host Alyssa Farah Griffin what she can share for now about the cameo, she revealed: "Well, it is very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO… saying, 'What can we do?'"
