Cynthia Nixon doesn’t want fans to get their hopes up about Kim Cattrall in And Just Like That

And Just Like That... Cynthia Nixon is preparing fans for Kim Cattrall's upcoming cameo.

Just a few weeks after it was confirmed that Kim was re-entering the Sex and the City universe with an appearance in season 2 of And Just Like That, Cynthia teased what viewers can expect. And as she revealed, the cameo was actually supposed to be a surprise.

"We're very excited about it," Cynthia, who plays Miranda Hobbes on the Max series, told news sites, "but I just want everyone to keep in mind that so much of the fun of it is we work so hard to keep it under wraps so Samantha would just pop up unexpectedly."

But now that fans know to expect a glimpse of Kim's fan-favorite character Samantha Jones, Cynthia is setting expectations.

"It's a very small wave at the fans kind of appearance," the Guilded Age star continued, "so I think it's very important that everybody know that. I'm so sorry the surprise was blown but hopefully people will still enjoy it."

Kim confirmed her return on Instagram June 1, posting a screenshot of a Variety article about her appearance. The How I Met Your Father star captioned the post with the pride flag, transgender flag and rainbow emojis, as well as the message "Happy Pride."
