'It's the end of a very long week ❤️💋,' the actress wrote.
Although she did not join her original co-stars Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) for the reboot following an alleged feud with Parker, Cattrall did make a brief solo appearance at the end of Season 2.
Her absence was felt by fans everywhere and was a huge miss for the series.

Cattrall starred as the sexpot Samantha in the original series from 1998 to 2004. She reprised the fan-favorite role alongside Parker, Nixon and Davis in the 2008 'Sex and the City' movie and its 2010 sequel.

Despite failing to return as Samantha for 'And Just Like That' beyond a single, brief cameo, Cattrall still spoke highly of the role earlier this year during an interview with The Times.
'I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it,' she told the outlet in June. 'And if I'm remembered only for that, then that's really OK.'
As for Cattrall's former co-stars, they each took to social media following the news that 'And Just Like That' would not be returning after Season 3.

'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all,' Parker, 60, wrote on Instagram.
'I am profoundly sad,' Davis, also 60, said in an Instagram post of her own. 'I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working hard on our show with deep love.'
Nixon, 59, wrote that she 'couldn't believe' the 'Sex and the City' spinoff was officially coming to an end.

'It has been such a delight from start to finish,' she said on Instagram alongside several behind-the-scenes photos and clips. 'I will miss working with these people everyday SO incredibly much but know we will always be a part of each other's lives.'
The spinoff's showrunner, meanwhile, insisted that the show wasn't canceled.

While announcing the end of 'And Just Like That' on Friday, King explained why the show will not continue beyond a two-part series finale later this month.

'And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the' Sex And The City' universe is coming to an end,' he said. 'While I was writing the last episode of 'And Just Like That…' season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.'
But canceled or not, the reboot's ratings had been steadily dropping from season to season.

Plus, some critics claimed that the show had become 'insufferably woke' – particularly with Miranda's non-binary love interest, Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez).
'Che seems like they are a manifestation of… an irritating Twitter account come to life,' one viewer told The Post after the first season aired.

'Che Diaz single-handedly set back non-binary representation 70 years,' another critic complained.
Comedian Bobby Lee, who played the role of Jackie Nee in the first two seasons, also claimed last month that the spinoff suffered from 'woke elements.'
'Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that,' he said.
However, insiders speculated that the series was most likely cut because it was simply becoming too expensive.

Kim Cattrall Shades ‘And Just Like That' Cancellation With Cryptic Post
And just like that, the Sex and the City reboot has reached a bitter end—and Kim Cattrall is breathing a sigh of relief. And Just Like That, the follow-up to the award-winning HBO series, reunited original stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon. Cattrall, who played fan favorite character Samantha Jones, was absent from the spin-off due to her public feud with Parker. Cattrall seemed to shade the series' end with a picture of a sunset and the caption: 'It's the end of a very long week' alongside a red heart and kiss emoji. Fans were quick to pick up on the viral diss. 'Kim, we need a fabulous new series just for you,' one said. 'Real ones knew.' 'Without 'Samantha' it is the end of a very loooonnnngggg three seasons!' another chimed in. 'Translation: finally this thing is over (in a Samantha voice),' a third commented alongside a winky emoji. Cattrall has accused Parker of behaving cruelly toward her during the original series and said that the two had never really been friends. Cattrall said Parker was not genuine in her condolences after Cattrall's brother died in 2018. Parker has called the feud 'very painful.' 'We did not ask her to be part of this [And Just Like That] because she made it clear that that wasn't something she wanted to pursue, and it no longer felt comfortable for us, and so it didn't occur to us,' Parker told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022. 'That's not 'slamming' her, it's just learning' And Just Like That showrunner Michael Patrick King announced the series' end after its third season, hours before Cattrall's post. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years,' he said. He added that he held off on announcing the news until now 'because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season.' Although Cattrall, 68, made a brief cameo in the season 2 finale, she otherwise steered clear of the reboot. Cattrall's short cameo, where she calls Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw, was filmed separately and without involving the other cast members. The other actresses expressed sadness and the series' end. Davis said she was 'profoundly sad' about the show's ending, and Nixon said that the filming had been 'such a delight from start to finish.' Parker, 60, posted a montage reel of her character's moments on Instagram. Carrie 'changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City,' she wrote. 'I am better for every single day I spent with you,' she said to her fans. 'It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all. I love you so. I hope you love these final two episodes as much as we all do.' Solve the daily Crossword

Taylor Swift's Album Cut Jumps 6,000% In Sales
Even when Taylor Swift is between album cycles, she finds a way to manage impressive feats on the charts. With no new singles out and fans still speculating about her next move, one of her album cuts has returned to the spotlight, proving once again that even her lesser-known songs can become big wins under the right circumstances. Taylor Swift Syncs With 'And Just Like That' On the July 25 episode of HBO's And Just Like That – which is set to end with its third season, according to a recent announcement – an emotional farewell between Carrie Bradshaw and her beau Aidan was set to the soundtrack of 'How Did It End?' The track, originally released as a bonus cut from The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology Edition, played during the episode's closing moments, and that meaningful sync helped the tune surge on streaming platforms and download stores. A Sky-High Sales Boost Thanks to the high-profile placement, 'How Did It End?' experienced a massive uptick in purchases. According to Billboard, from July 25 to 28, the song sold more than 500 copies in the United States (per Luminate). That's a 6,000% jump from the previous week. Streaming Numbers Rise as Well While the bump in streaming was less dramatic when compared to sales, it was still significant. The track pulled in 391,000 official on-demand streams over that same four-day period, up 22% week-over-week. For a deluxe edition track that debuted more than a year ago and which wasn't pushed as a single, that's a solid showing. A Deluxe Edition Track That's Still Popular 'How Did It End?' made its first chart appearance back in April 2024, when it debuted at No. 35 on the Hot 100 when The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology Edition arrived. It's not common for an album cut from a deluxe reissue to break into the top 40 on the chart, but nothing about Swift's career is common.
