Jason Lewis, who played Smith in Sex and the City, recently returned to the character for a Spiked Pop advertisement on Instagram. In the ad, he appeared to reprise the role of Smith and made a reference to the character’s relationship with Samantha.

In the new promotional video for The Owls Brew, Lewis, now 54, appeared as Smith. In the video, a blonde woman styled similarly to Samantha walks past him, prompting him to stop and look. He then comments, “still got a type,” a line that references the series. The video also ends with Lewis appearing on a billboard, similar to Smith’s storyline in the franchise.

Fans responded enthusiastically to the video. “That Samantha call back was EVERYTHINGGGGG!! He knows his base,” one user commented on the post. Lewis replied, “Smith was nothing without her.”

“We had the best day filming this with you! Turned out amazing. SATC & Smith Jerrod 4ever!” another user wrote, while another added, “This is a BRILLIANT campaign!!! Welcome back and congratulations.”

Lewis captioned the video, “THE HUNK IS BACK and he’s drinking Spiked Pop. Introducing Spiked Pop by Owl’s Brew. Hard soda, done clean. Nostalgic soda flavors, made with ingredients that do more than taste good.”

The video generated significant discussion among fans and prompted conversations about the character and the franchise.

Sex and the City remains a widely recognized television franchise.
