On Wednesday, Variety broke the news that Cattrall — who played the one and only Samantha in all six seasons of Sex and the City, as well as two films — will cameo in Season 2 of the follow-up series, And Just Like That… as her beloved character.

Sharing Variety’s Instagram post about the announcement, Cattrall didn’t have much to add aside from one beautifully simple comment that couldn’t have been better timed.

“Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈…..” Cattrall wrote.

In Season 6, Episode 6 of the series, Samantha is trying to boost the career of her model-actor man Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis), when she utters the iconic phrase, “First come the gays, then the girls, then…the industry!”

Kim doesn't make an appearance in the trailer, but that doesn't stop it from teasing what looks like a stellar second season.
