Sarah Jessica Parker & More ‘And Just Like That’ Stars React to Show Ending With Season 3
Carrie Bradshaw’s latest chapter is coming to a close. On August 1, showrunner Michael Patrick King announced that And Just Like That… is ending after Season 3.
The showrunner, writer, and director released a statement explaining why the news wasn’t announced until the third season was nearly over.
“And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end. While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys, and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from 10 episodes to 12.”

He continued, “SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn’t want the word ‘final’ to overshadow the fun of watching the season. It’s with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.”
The HBO Max show’s final two episodes will serve as the two-part series finale. The first part will air on August 7, followed by the second on August 14.
Following the announcement, Parker posted a heartfelt message about saying goodbye to Carrie after all these years. “Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends and what great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema and LTW, most divine new connections,” she wrote. “Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all.”
She added, “AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us. I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget.”
Kristin Davis wrote on Instagram. “I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever.”
Cynthia Nixon reposted Parker’s video on her Instagram Story and wrote, “I could watch this again and again. Thank you @sarahjessicaparker (& our gorgeous cast & crew) for the quarter century of memories and friendships.”
The first season of the spinoff series premiered in 2021, over 10 years after Sex and the City 2. And Just Like That… followed the lives of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and their friends as they settled into life in their 50s. Plenty of familiar faces from Sex and the City have returned over the last three seasons, notably Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) in a brief Season 2 finale cameo and Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), Carrie’s on-again, off-again love.

This season has been disappointing. Aidan is still an ASS, sorry it took Carrie most of the season to see that. And Miranda is COMPLETELY off the rails!!

I truly enjoy watching! It's not supposed to be oscar worthy, it is simply entertainment.

It’s one of the few shows that I look forward to seeing every week. I do say that some of the outfits they wear make them look like clowns, but they are fun. I wish it wouldn’t end but all good things end was great fun while it lasted.

They should have never brought the show back.

PARTS of it have been good. Watching Carrie recover and try to make a new life as a widow was "must watch". This season, not so much.

The show was awful. They portrayed the 3 characters as dysfunctional, clueless shrews. The original series was groundbreaking but this show was just boring and trite.

If the writers developed the characters properly, it would've been fine. However, it's BAD!

And just like that, a really bad show is cancelled. I loved Sex and the City. It felt genuine, honest, and funny. AJLT is so superficial. These women really don’t have much going on in their lives other than how to spend all their money. I can’t relate to them anymore.

I hate its ending!! I’ll admit this season at the start was filmed so differently but still as amazing as always! I don’t like this at all 💔

Four of the actors on the show have been accused of assault in real life--the ones who played Adam, the gardener (whose ex-wife accused him of spousal rape); Jackie Nee, the podcast cohost; Toussant, Carrie's chef at her old flat; and, of course, Big. After learning about all that, I stopped watching, because it made me nauseous to look at them. How could the producers, writers, and other actors (especially SJP, who is also an exec producer) enable toxic/violent men, especially on a show about women who are supposed to be strong and smart and good friends to each other????

This was the best season of all three. It finally found its footing. I was up for another season.

Yeah, lately every show or movie must include all sorts of LGTBQ and whatever else is in there. TV in my opinion is not entertainment anymore, it is just about pushing agendas and beliefs.

Wait it says the last episodes would be broken into 2 parts.. so is episode 12 “party of one” the last episode?!?! So we don’t get to see what happens with Harry or Brady’s baby or the downstairs neighbor?!?! I need answers!!!

They should've just called it The DykeShow

The wardrobe was Stylish, Beautiful and Sophisticated! Sorry if some of you with boring wardrobes can't appreciate it! These times are so filled with hate and meanness and boredom... I wish for the early 2000's again, which was filled with fun, happiness, upbeat music and bright fashion. I can't wait for these politically mean, revenge of the toxic, dictatorial male, filled with anger, and jealousy times are over! The morose dystopian movie with ZERO happy endings. The sad "wanna" be popular country music, ever desperate and thirsty for relevance and the fashion that doesn't know what to do is killing me.

Just when the show was getting GOOD! I loved this season and was looking forward to more. 50 somethings need a stylish, relevant and hilarious show filled with optimism. ESPECIALLY during these toxic political times that seem to want to put women back in boxes and remove their freedoms. Sex in the City represented ALL the freedoms women fought for and enjoyed. This is sad 😞

So agree the clothes were over the top I wondered where anyone would wear those but maybe in NY they do if you are rich.

I always enjoyed Sex and the City and this series and looked forward to the next episode. Sad to see it end perhaps the next saga instead of so much nudity and sex we could see grandchildren involved with our ladies. (Just a thought). I'll miss you all but continue to rewatch many series of Sex and the City, And Just Like That over and over!

I have loved getting to visit my imaginary girlfriends later in life. And meeting some new ones. I am sad it is the end, it seems so soon, but I think it’s ending well. I suppose it had to at some point. Thank goodness for reruns!

I think it became a symbol of self indulgent conspicuous consumption, largely a guilty pleasure in this last iteration.

I could never get in to this show but it seems to have gone beyond its expiration date.
