Kim Cattrall makes cameo on 'And Just Like That...' season 2 finale: All the details
"Sex and the City" fans were treated to Kim Cattrall's long-awaited cameo in the "And Just Like That..." season 2 finale.
The episode, which dropped Aug. 24 on Max, starts off with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) preparing for a goodbye dinner for her legendary Upper East Side apartment -- hilariously dubbed "The Last Supper" -- when she receives a call from Samantha (Cattrall).
Samantha is calling to tell Carrie that her flight from London to New York City has been delayed, meaning she won't be able to make it in time for the party -- a surprise to Carrie, who didn't know her old friend was planning to come at all. Turns out Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) had told her all about it.
"I was gonna surprise you," Samantha says, to which Carrie says she is "very surprised."
The reason for the flight's delay? "The fog finally lifted, but the crew? Maxed out," a "f------ furious" Samantha explains.
When Carrie suggests the two could just hang out the next day, Samantha informs her she was only flying in for the party and was headed out first thing the next morning.
"Wait a minute, you were flying all the way to New York for an overnight?" Carrie asks.
"Well, it is your apartment, and I have to pay my respects," Samantha retorts, asking Carrie to put her on speaker so she can address the fabled digs directly. "Thank you for everything, you f------ fabulous, fabulous flat."
Carrie then pokes fun at Samantha for having a British accent, to which Samantha says "ta and cheerio, and have a great night."
And just like that... the cameo is over.
"Sex and the City" fans first learned that Cattrall would appear in season 2 of "And Just Like That..." when news broke in May.
"It was, I think, a really nice idea to celebrate our 25th anniversary, to have this surprise appearance [from Samantha]," Parker told Diane Sawyer of the hush-hush moment in an interview with "Good Morning America" in June.
Cattrall was a main cast member for the entire six-season run of "Sex and the City" from 1998 to 2004 alongside Parker, Davis and Nixon. She returned for both films, but not for "And Just Like That…" season 1.
"And Just Like That..." has officially been renewed for a third season.
