After a rollercoaster week in the world of TV drama, Kim Cattrall may have just had the final word—without even saying a thing.

As reports of HBO’s And Just Like That cancellation made headlines, Cattrall’s cryptic Instagram post on Friday had fans raising eyebrows and reading between the lines.

A Quiet Sunset and a Loud Message

Cattrall, now 68, posted a peaceful snapshot of a sunset over a calm mountain lake—wispy clouds, soft glow, and all the serene vibes.

But it was her caption that stirred up speculation:
“It’s the end of a very long week,” she wrote.

No tags, no explanations, and certainly no mention of the just-axed Sex and the City spin-off.

Still, fans didn’t need much to draw their own conclusions.

Fans Think Samantha Is Saying Goodbye — Again

Though she never named the show directly, fans instantly took her post as a not-so-subtle nod to the end of And Just Like That, which was confirmed to wrap up with an extended two-part finale.

One user even interpreted her caption in true Samantha Jones fashion:
“Translation: finally this thing is over (in a Samantha voice).”
Another chimed in, “If you know, you know…” capturing the general feeling that Cattrall was silently celebrating.

A Complicated History With the Show

Cattrall famously distanced herself from the Sex and the City reboot from the beginning.

Unlike her original co-stars, she refused to join the main cast of And Just Like That—though she did surprise fans with two brief cameo appearances across the final two seasons.

Her absence sparked years of speculation about behind-the-scenes tension and creative differences.

So, when the show’s cancellation was announced, many felt her post wasn’t just timely—it was intentional.

Fans Want More — But On Her Terms

In the comment section, fans weren’t shy about expressing what they really want: more of Kim Cattrall, just not And Just Like That.“Kim, we need a fabulous new series just for you. Real ones knew,” wrote one admirer.Another added, “I want a spin-off of Samantha,” even if the odds of that ever happening seem low, given Cattrall’s long-standing disinterest in revisiting the franchise.

No Official Comment Yet

The Daily Mail reached out to Cattrall’s team for clarification, but so far, there’s been no official response. And honestly? Maybe none is needed.

That sunset photo and one-liner said plenty—at least to the fans who’ve followed the drama from the beginning.
