After Sarah Jessica Parker — who played sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw in the beloved series — jokingly offered the role of Samantha to DeGeneres during a Wednesday appearance on _Ellen_, Kim Cattrall took to Twitter to throw her support behind the idea. “She’d be fabulous!” Cattrall wrote, adding two thumbs up emojis.

We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story. It’s not just disappointing that we don’t get to tell the story and have that experience, but more so for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another movie.” > [](https://twitter.com/KimCattrall/status/953742174817931266) Parker’s announcement was followed by a [report](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4929412/Kim-Cattrall-causes-studio-shelve-Sex-City-3.html "undefined") that the project was delayed due to demands made by Cattrall — an allegation the 61-year-old actor shot down. “The only ‘DEMAND’ I ever made was that I didn’t want to do a 3rd film….& that was back in 2016,” she tweeted. > [](https://twitter.com/KimCattrall/status/913712496237776897) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5110200/sex-and-the-city-kim-cattrall-ellen-degeneres-samantha/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5110200/sex-and-the-city-kim-cattrall-ellen-degeneres-samantha/"},"headline":"Kim Cattrall Says Ellen DeGeneres Would Make a 'Fabulous' Samantha in Sex and the City 3","datePublished":"2018-01-19T20:01:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:54.139Z","description":"Sarah Jessica Parker suggested DeGeneres for the role","url":"https://time.com/5110200/sex-and-the-city-kim-cattrall-ellen-degeneres-samantha/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","movies","celebrities","Ellen Degeneres","TV","sex and the city"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea4a5d7451ebfdb1/6988f8d5929fad4299bef4a1/kim-catrall-ellen-degeneres.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea4a5d7451ebfdb1/6988f8d5929fad4299bef4a1/kim-catrall-ellen-degeneres.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"kim-catrall-ellen-degeneres","caption":"Kim Cattrall and Ellen Degeneres","creditText":"Getty Images (2)","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/5110200/sex-and-the-city-kim-cattrall-ellen-degeneres-samantha/","name":"Kim Cattrall Says Ellen DeGeneres Would Make a 'Fabulous' Samantha in Sex and the City 3"}}]}] ```
