‘Sex And The City’ sequel ‘And Just Like That…’ to end after this season
HBO Max‘s And Just Like That… is coming back for a third season, the streaming platform has confirmed.
And Just Like That… serves as a both a revival and sequel to the original Sex And The City series and sees the return of original cast members Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes and Kristin Davis as Charlotte York-Goldenblatt, while Kim Cattrall is absent as Samantha Jones (though she did make a brief cameo appearance).
The first season premiered in December 2021, 17 years after the sixth season of Sex And The City concluded on HBO in 2004.
Now, it’s been revealed that the show will wrap up its third season, which is currently airing, with a two-part finale. Showrunner Michael Patrick King notified the cast of the decision on Thursday (August 31), per Deadline.
Last night (August 22), HBO Max confirmed the news via social media, sharing a clip of Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw saying, “If it feels right, and it does, why slow it down?” before clips of the show’s cast are flashed across the screen.
“And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end,” said King in a statement released on Friday (August 1). “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. 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.”
Parker then responded to the news on Instagram, sharing a video montage of photos from Sex and the City and And Just Like That… alongside a Carrie-esque voiceover from the actor, who paid tribute to her iconic character. “She crossed streets, avenues, rubicons, so it seemed,” she wrote.
“Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all,” her caption continued. “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.”
She went on to call the show “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.”
Season one of And Just Like That scored a three-star review from NME upon its release, with Nick Levine writing: “After an awkward start to this reunion, And Just Like That… is beginning to feel like hanging out with an old friend again.”
