Posting clear waters with a gorgeous sunset, Cattrall made her first post since the 'And Just Like That' news broke.
'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.

States With Top 10 Best Roller Coasters Ranked by Man Who Tried Nearly 500
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A roller coaster enthusiast who has ridden nearly 500 different coasters shared his top picks in a viral TikTok post, which has garnered 4.6 million views since July 25. Jacob, a 22-year-old theme park marketing professional who posts under the username @jacob_backall, curated a slideshow of his 30 favorite roller coasters drawn from a personal experience of trying 492 different roller coasters so far across multiple continents. The top 10 ranking features all roller coasters in the U.S., including in Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Tennessee. "I grew up outside of Philadelphia and I recently graduated from the University of Tampa in Florida with a Bachelor's degree in advertising and public relations," Jacob, who did not share his last name, told Newsweek. "Using these acquired skills, I share my passion by working on the marketing team for one of the largest theme park chains in North America, home to dozens of world class coasters. I also take pride in updating my coaster travels through my personal socials @jacobbackall on Instagram and TikTok." Jacob is pictured here on two different roller coasters. Jacob is pictured here on two different roller coasters. @jacob_backall on TikTok and Instagram His passion for roller coasters began in 2012 with a visit to Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "That day I rode the Wild Mouse. Not a big coaster, but it had me hooked. It changed my life. I was so curious about the way it made its way around the track and how the systems worked to control it," he said. Jacob said his fascination grew quickly. "Ever since that one day, I've become a human encyclopedia for roller coasters, learning and memorizing the heights, speeds and stats of every roller coaster I could find on the internet, and trying to conquer as many of them as I could," he said. The first roller coaster he ever rode that went upside down was Hydra the Revenge, also at Dorney Park. "I choose to start with that one because it went upside down the most time in the park, seven times, and currently at that time held the inversion record in North America," he said. Despite his comfort with extreme rides today, Jacob recalled one that once gave him pause: "I remember Intimidator 305 (now known as Pantherian), a 305-foot roller coaster at Kings Dominion in Virginia, had me a bit frightened at first, and to be honest I think that's the only time I've ever felt nervous before trying a new ride. I must have been 9 or 10 years old around then, so I've basically become immune to all those feelings of anxiety around big drops and loops." Among the coasters in his top 30, Jacob's favorite is Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point. "My favorite roller coaster of all time, Steel Vengeance, is a 205-foot RMC hyper hybrid roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Opening originally in the 1990s as Mean Streak, the old rough wooden coaster was given new life in 2018 with its transformation into arguably the greatest roller coaster of all time." The TikToker has a particular preference for RMC Hybrid roller coasters. "A hybrid roller coaster in a traditional sense is a coaster with wooden supports and twisted steel track," he explained. "When an old wooden roller coaster gets rough and no longer draws the crowds it used to, RMC, Rocky Mountain Construction, a legendary roller coaster manufacturer based out of Idaho rips off the wooden tracks, adds steel tracks to enhance the height, speed and whip factor of the coaster, thus transforming old rides into a modern beasts of an attraction." For Jacob, the best roller coasters are not necessarily the tallest or fastest. "For most true roller coaster enthusiasts, the factors that make up a truly good roller coaster aren't the height and speed; it's a creative layout with consistent pacing, having unique elements that flow into one another without rough transitions. The most important quality of a coaster for me personally is airtime, that's the feeling where you're being lifted up out of your seat and feel multiple times lighter as the forces of gravity weaken on you." Now at 492 different roller coasters and counting—with over 5,000 total rides including re-rides—Jacob is just eight coasters away from a major milestone. "With eight more coasters I haven't ridden yet left to go before I hit 500, I'm sure by the end of the year I'll finally meet that goal. Then it's on to 1,000." Along the way, Jacob said the community of fellow enthusiasts has been a rewarding part of the experience. "I have made many great friends over the years through my travels and you'd be surprised how many others there are with my same unique hobby," he said.

Country Icon, 70, Making History With Grand Ole Opry Induction
Country Icon, 70, Making History With Grand Ole Opry Induction originally appeared on Parade. The Grand Ole Opry announced its newest member on Thursday, July 10 — country icon Steve Earle. He is making history as the very first artist to be inducted during the Grand Ole Opry's year-long 100th anniversary celebration. The induction is happening live on Wednesday, September 17, and will feature another country icon to host the induction ceremony — Opry member Emmylou Harris. "Be there live on September 17 as Emmylou Harris officially inducts the legendary singer-songwriter Steve Earle into the Grand Ole Opry. He's made history with iconic songs like 'Copperhead Road' and collaborations with legends such as Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson — and he's making history once again as the very first artist inducted during our milestone 100th year," reads the Grand Ole Opry press release. The night will be filled with a star-studded lineup and "unforgettable performances" from Harry, Earle, and '90s country star Deana Carter, most famous for her tune "Strawberry Wine." Other performers will be announced at a later first burst on the country music scene in 1986 with his debut studio album Guitar Town, which was certified Gold in the U.S. and Platinum in Canada. All together, Earle has released 22 studio albums and seven live albums throughout his illustrious career. He is best known for such hits as "Guitar Town," "Goodbye's All We've Got Left," "Nowhere Road," "Sweet Little '66," "Copperhead Road," "Six Days on the Road," "The Other Kind," "Transcendental Blues," and "The Revolution Starts Now." He has also dabbled in acting, appearing as recurring characters on two David Simon shows on HBO — The Wire and Treme. Earle's music was also featured prominently on both shows. The country star also famously played himself on two episodes of 30 Rock and one episode of Nashville. And in a fun coincidence, on the day the Grand Ole Opry announced Earle's induction, he can be seen making a surprise appearance on the season 2 finale of Poker Face on Peacock — but we won't spoil for you where he pops up. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Country Icon, 70, Making History With Grand Ole Opry Induction first appeared on Parade on Jul 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Kim Cattrall Shares Cryptic Message as And Just Like That Ends
Originally appeared on E! Online And just like that, has spoken. Hours after Sex and the City creator Michael Patrick King announced that And Just Like That—the sequel series to the beloved HBO show—would be ending after its current third season, the actress shared a cryptic note on Instagram Aug. 1. Posting a picture of a sunset overlooking a body of water, Kim wrote alongside emojis of a heart and a pair of lips, "It's the end of a very long week." But she isn't the only Sex and the City alum to speak out amid news of And Just Like That's final bow. Cattrall's former castmate Sarah Jessica Parker—who stars in the revival alongside Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis—reflected on her iconic character's legacy. "Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years,' SJP wrote on Instagram. "I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion." More from E! Online Tom Selleck, 80, Looks Unrecognizable During Rare Outing Without Signature Mustache Why Bryan Kohberger Left Roommate Dylan Mortensen Alive, According to Idaho Prosecutor Former NBA Player Danilo Gallinari's Pregnant Wife Attacked by Shark She continued, "MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete." Cynthia also marveled at the franchise's decades-long journey, calling it "such a delight from start to finish." "I can't believe our wild beautiful And Just Like That ride is almost over," she wrote on her own Instagram page. "I will miss working with these people everyday SO incredibly much but know we will always be a part of each other's lives." Although Kristin felt "profoundly sad" about the show ending, she expressed gratitude to the cast and crew who worked "so hard on our show with deep love." "Thank you to you all," she added in her own post. "You hold me up and i do not take it for granted!!!" And Just Like That premiered in 2021, more than 17 years after Sex and the City went off the air. Out of the series' four main leads, Kim was the only star who opted not to return. "It's a great wisdom to know when enough is enough," she told Variety in a new 2022 interview. "I also didn't want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear." And while Kim did reprise her role as Samantha Jones for a cameo in the season two finale, it was a one-off thing. As she told Today in 2023, "This is as far as I'm gonna go."
