The iconic character brought to life by Kim Cattrall for six seasons and two spin-off feature films will never, EVER be resurrected.

The nail in the coffin has been pounded into place by “Sex and the City” show runner, Michael Patrick King.

This week the reboot, “And Just Like That…,” will air the final episode of its first season.

In a new interview with Variety, King explained why fans will never see Samantha in the show.

When asked if he would keep the door open to Cattrall he replied, “No.”

King continued, “Just like there was no thought that Kim would ever participate in And Just Like That, because she’s said what she had said.”

King went on to say that he is firm in his stance that fans should not expect to ever see Cattrall on the show.

“I have no realistic expectation of Kim Cattrall ever appearing again,” he concluded.
