The actress revealed in an interview with [_The Daily Record_](http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity-interviews/kim-cattrall-talks-sex-city-8226431#V29S2raiZpkBK7wZ.97)that she thinks having a third film would be a “challenge.” “I think the climate changed,” Cattrall said. “To have four women talking about shopping trips and spending $400 on shoes when people are having trouble putting food on the table? It doesn’t mean we don’t need that but I think the pendulum swung in a different direction.” Cattrall also added that if another sequel was in the works, it likely would have already materialized. “Everyone is doing their own thing and if it was going to happen, it would have happened by now.” However, the actress isn’t completely ruling out the possibility of playing the character one last time. “It could be fun though,” she said. “To say goodbye completely to Samantha would be pretty hard.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4375833/kim-cattrall-sex-and-the-city-three/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4375833/kim-cattrall-sex-and-the-city-three/"},"headline":"Samantha Jones Doesn't Think You Should Hold Your Breath for a Third Sex And The City Movie","datePublished":"2016-06-20T22:13:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:32.964Z","description":"The actress said it would be a \"challenge\"","url":"https://time.com/4375833/kim-cattrall-sex-and-the-city-three/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television","movies","sex and the city"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt634aceefe0282da8/698898b2cd1bbab40c7012de/kim-cattrall-satc-3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt634aceefe0282da8/698898b2cd1bbab40c7012de/kim-cattrall-satc-3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Edinburgh Film Festival Jury - Photocall","caption":"Edinburgh Film Festival Jury - Photocall","creditText":"Roberto Ricciuti—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4375833/kim-cattrall-sex-and-the-city-three/","name":"Samantha Jones Doesn't Think You Should Hold Your Breath for a Third Sex And The City Movie"}}]}] ```
