Many fans noticed that the rebooted SATC series, And Just Like That released new episodes the same day on Max.
In Glamorous, Kim plays Madolyn, a single New York professional with a sharp wardrobe and an even sharper tongue.
A former high school student lands the job of a lifetime working for Madolyn as she makes her mark on the fashion and beauty world.
And Just Like That season two picks up right where it left off as Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, now has her own podcast titled Sex and the City.
The show follows life with Carrie and her friends Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) — minus Samantha.
‘I LOVE CATTINESS’
Due to the same-day release for both projects, fans found the idea “shady.”
“Netflix dropping the kim cattrall show the same day as ajlt is such a move… i love cattiness,” one Twitter fan wrote.
“Kim Cattrall’s new Netflix show coming out the same day as the new season of “…And Just Like That” is sending me,” a second stated, using a skull emoji.
Another said: “Same release date as ajlt? Shady shady netflix.”
A fourth agreed: “Same day as the new season of and just like that drops… shady boots!”
THE FAMOUS FEUD
Kim and Sarah have been in a public feud for years.
Sex and the City writer and executive producer Michael Patrick King said the relationship between SJP and Cattrall was rough.
“The show doesn’t exist if Sarah Jessica wasn’t the blonde star of the show, that’s number one,” King told The Hollywood Reporter’s Origins podcast.
“Kim was not at the height of her career, Kristin was under her in terms of notability, Cynthia was a theatre actor – and their contracts reflected that status.

“As the show progressed, the characters, everybody grew; it became a family. Kristin, Cynthia, and Sarah Jessica became one group, and Kim never joined mentally.”
He continued: “Kim fought and said, ‘I’m everyone’s favorite.’… (Parker’s) name was contractually, legally, righteously, the only name on the poster due to the fact that she was a movie star in 1998 when the series started, and she did a leap to do a show about sex on (HBO), the channel that did the fights, and it doesn’t matter how popular you are.
“I guess for Kim, it didn’t matter how much the raise became if there was never parity, but there was never going to be parity.”
SARAH VS KIM
Kim told Piers Morgan in 2017: “This is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City, and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker.
“I think she could’ve been nicer. I really think she could’ve been nicer. I don’t know what her issue is.”
Parker told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen in 2018 that she was “heartbroken” after Kim said she was never friends with her co-stars.
The 55-year-old explained: “I found it very upsetting because that’s not the way I recall our experience.
“It’s sad, but I always think that what ties us together was this singular experience. It was a professional experience, but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives, so I hope that that eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken.”
She concluded: “That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with it is such a privilege.”
Parker had told Elle in 2009: “I don’t think anybody wants to believe that I love Kim. I adore her. I wouldn’t have done the movie without her. Didn’t and wouldn’t.”
KIM ON AJLT?
A spokesperson for streaming service Max, formerly known as HBO Max, confirmed Kim’s appearance with the New York Post.
Show staffers were shocked and curious as to how to explain her character’s return, an insider told the Post.
“She said she’d never do it! She said she’d never come back!”
Kim made a secret cameo toward the end of the upcoming second season of spinoff series And Just Like That…, the insider said.
Her name apparently was even left off the call sheet, so as not to arouse suspicion
