When Kim Cattrall appeared on the red carpet at the Season 3 premiere of Emily in Paris, rumors continued to swirl regarding her attachment to the show. In fact, according to E!, there are even rumors floating around claiming she'll make a cameo as PR pro Samantha Jones. We think that's a bit of a stretch, but let's let Darren say his piece.
During a December 2022 interview with SiriusXM, Darren said "it would be amazing to have Kim on the show." But, given that his dear friend is a TV legend, he wants to concoct the perfect character for her.
"It’s all about finding the right role because she doesn’t want to come on as Kim. She doesn't want to come on as Samantha. We've gotta find something special and worthy of her," he shared.
See, Samantha is too busy being fabulous in London. Also, Darren has relayed that he isn't a fan of crossover events. "It’s two different universes,” he told Variety at Emily in Paris's Season 2 premiere.
During the aforementioned SiriusXM event — which featured a slew of Emily in Paris actors — the interviewer pointed to William Abadie (Give 'Em Hell, Malone) before mentioning that he previously suggested Kim should play his character's (Antoine) mistress. Apparently this was a misquote.
"Everybody says that I said that," William began. "I didn't say that, but I will concur with that."
Well, no matter what Kim Cattrall's Emily in Paris role ends up looking like, we're sure she'll inject the character with a witty, sexy edge.
Season 3 of Emily in Paris is currently streaming on Netflix.
