‘And Just Like That …' to end after third season
Michael Patrick King, showrunner of the 'Sex and the City' sequel 'And Just Like That …,' announced on Instagram that the series will end after the third season concludes. Fans have a two-part finale to savor later this month.
'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,' he wrote.
King said he decided to wrap things up while writing the season's final episode. He then split the finale into two episodes. The last episode will drop Aug. 14.
In a long, heartfelt Instagram post of her own, Sarah Jessica Parker, who played the iconic Carrie Bradshaw character in both series, called the sequel 'all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent.' She included a montage of Carrie's fashion and moments.
Parker added: 'I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all. I love you so.'
Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon returned for the sequel. Largely absent was Kim Cattrall and her Samantha Jones, though Cattrall did make a brief, uncredited cameo in the Season 2 finale. Samantha's absence was explained as a move to London. Reports of pay and personal disputes bubbled over behind the scenes.
The original series ran from 1998 to 2004, taking pop culture by storm with the style and drama of the 30-something friends in New York City. They shopped. They brunched. They dated, leaning on each other as Parker's Carrie, a writer, chronicled it all.
The sequel picks up their lives in their mid-50s, to mixed reviews. Carrie became a widow. Nixon's Miranda Hobbes came out as queer. Davis' Charlotte York Goldenblatt copes with husband Harry's prostate cancer diagnosis.
Fashion remains ever-present, including all those iconic heels still clacking through New York's brownstone-lined streets.
In her farewell post, Parker wrote of her stylish Carrie that she, 'Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City.' She called Carrie 'my professional heartbeat for 27 years.'

Sarah Jessica Parker announces emotional and poetic end to ‘And Just Like That…'
Sarah Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw in 'And Just Like That…' The 'Sex and the City' franchise is ending after more than 25 years, with the conclusion of the third and now final season of its spinoff 'And Just Like That…,' star Sarah Jessica Parker and showrunner, writer and director Michael Patrick King announced Aug. 1. (Craig Blankenhorn/HBO via CNN Newsource) We couldn't help but wonder: did Carrie Bradshaw break up with us or did we break up with her? The 'Sex and the City' franchise is ending after more than 25 years, with the conclusion of the third and now final season of its spinoff 'And Just Like That…,' star Sarah Jessica Parker and showrunner, writer and director Michael Patrick King announced Friday. 'And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the 'Sex And The City' universe is coming to an end,' King wrote in a statement posted on the show's Instagram account. '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.' According to King, the decision to sunset the series was made with the show's star and executive producer Parker, along with chief executive officer of HBO Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, who is head of original programming. (HBO and HBO Max are owned by CNN's parent company.) Parker posted a lengthy and poetic goodbye on social media to the series and central character Carrie, who she first started playing in 1998 when original series 'Sex and the City' premiered on HBO. '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,' she wrote in part. 'MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. 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.' 'And Just Like That…' was the most recent iteration of 'Sex and the City,' a beloved and sometimes polarizing franchise which included the Emmy-winning first series that ended in 2004, and also had two feature films that followed. Parker's post included a carousel of images from the whole run of the franchise, featuring core characters Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), along with Samantha (Kim Cattrall) from the first series and movies (and a brief cameo in Season 2 of 'AJLT'). The images also showed Carrie with Stanford (the late Willie Garson), Mr. Big (Chris Noth) and Aidan (John Corbett), as well as 'AJLT' additions Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and LTW (Ari Nicole Parker), who Parker called out as two 'most divine new connections.' In his post, King said that he and Parker 'held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season.' The series will conclude over the next two Thursdays with a two-part finale.
