Kim Cattrall's new project has been announced - and it sounds like a must-listen! The actress, who declined the offer to reprise her role in the Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That, is set to star in the season two of BBC Radio 4 drama Central Intelligence as Eloise Page.
Set in the 1960s, the story follows "covert operations, political upheaval, and shifting global power" of the time.

Kennedy."

"I wanted an 'insider' who was an 'outsider', but also a trailblazer; an agent who rose as far as she could in the Agency and who stayed with it for the longest time possible.

Kim briefly appeared in the And Just Like That season two finale in a cameo appearance, where she speaks to Carrie on the phone from London. Speaking about the appearance, she said: "This is as far as I’m going to go. I don’t think I’ll ever say goodbye to Samantha. She’s like a lot of other characters that I’ve done over the years. She gave me so much, and I’m so appreciative of her."
Central Intelligence will begin on BBC Radio 4 at 2.15pm on Friday 20 June, and will also be available on BBC Sounds
