“What I think people love about shows likeSex in the CityandFilthy Richis strong characters,” Cattrall, 62, said. “You know, real strong characters. And this is a new chapter, this is another strong character. So I’m really enjoying that.”
Cattrall later told reporters that she hoped Samantha “would have to” get along with herFilthy Richcharacter Margaret Monreaux, the matriarch of an ultra-rich and very religious Christian family.
“They have a couple things in common, they do what they need to do, no matter what anybody thinks, there’s a real strength there. And I want to continue to play very strong women who have something to say,” Cattrall said.

While Cattrall might be best known for her portrayal of the sex-positive publicist onSex and the City, the actress has made it clear that she wouldn’t be returning for a third movie.
Responding to an Instagram user who asked her to find a way to make a third movie, Cattrall, 61, replied, “I can’t. My heart isn’t in it anymore.”
“I’ve moved on,” she continued. “61 isn’t 53 or 41. I have learned so much from our Sam. She was my hero but I want to rest & not work as much as I have been doing for years. I want a less hectic life. My decision reflects where I am in my life & I can’t change that without being unhappy. I hope you’ll understand. Kim”
