Why Kyle MacLachlan Turned Down an Offer to Reprise His ‘SATC’ Role on ‘And Just Like That’ (Exclusive)

After two subsequent Sex and the City films, three of the four main characters returned for the current spinoff, And Just Like That, in December 2021. While Samantha Jones is featured in the show via text messages and one brief onscreen cameo in season 2, Cattrall did not return to the screen amid her ongoing feud with costar Parker.

The show did find a way to include Samantha Jones — who is now living in Paris, to explain Cattrall’s absence from the series — in the most recent episode of And Just Like That. On the Thursday, June 26, episode of the spinoff, Carrie reaches out to Samantha via text for intel from across the pond on her new grumpy downstairs neighbor — who just so happens to be a fellow writer —Duncan Reeves (Jonathan Cake).

“They say he’s a lot of fun. Why?” Samantha writes back. When Carrie explains that “he’s living under me,” Samantha quickly replies, “I wish he was under me.”

While Trey MacDougal will not be returning to our TV screen anytime soon, MacLachlan did give Us some insight into his latest project.

“I have a podcast that’s going to be dropping in September called ‘What Are We Even Doing?’” he revealed. “I’m interviewing young creatives and getting to know their world, basically, and the creative process that’s important to them, how they use social media and coming at it from [the] perspective of an old guy.”

If you ask Us, Trey would be proud.
