'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.'

The rapper was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department early on Sunday, Aug. 3NEED TO KNOW Soulja Boy was arrested in Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday, Aug. 3 The musician, 35, was taken into custody during a traffic stop on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, per multiple outlets On Saturday night, Soulja celebrated his 35th birthday at an L.A. club, as seen in footage he shared on InstagramSoulja Boy was arrested in Los Angeles following a traffic stop. The "Pretty Boy Swag" musician, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) at 2:50 a.m. local time on Sunday, Aug. 3, per online inmate information. He was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to initial reports from TMZ, Variety and NBC Los Angeles. Per Variety, the 35-year-old rapper was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over during a Sunday morning traffic stop at Melrose and Genesee. Officers then discovered a firearm in the vehicle, both Variety and TMZ reported, citing the LAPD. Online records indicate that Soulja was later booked at 6:18 a.m. on a felony charge. It is not immediately clear why the traffic stop was conducted. The LAPD and a recent legal representative for Soulja did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for further information and comment on Sunday. On Saturday night, Soulja celebrated his birthday at a nightclub in L.A., as seen in footage he shared on his Instagram Stories. Earlier in the day, he premiered new music on a Twitch stream, several months after he dropped his most recent album, The Influence, in February. Soulja's arrest comes nearly four months after he was ordered to pay a former assistant nearly $4 million when a California jury found him liable in connection with a 2021 lawsuit, in which the assistant alleged he sexually assaulted her and held her captive.

Jane Doe, as the accuser was identified, was awarded the compensatory damages on April 10 after she alleged that Soulja violently attacked her. At the time, the "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" rapper told Rolling Stone that he "never done any of the things they're accusing me of." An attorney for the musician told PEOPLE that "the evidence does not support the verdict." "It is unfortunate that aspersions and misperceptions of a culture were allowed to influence the trial," the statement from Soulja's legal representation read. "Mr. Way fully intends to pursue his post-trial remedies and to fight for a just result in this case." In a separate statement, the woman's attorney, Ron Zambrano, said his client was "vindicated" and that they were "looking forward to moving on to the punitive damages phase of the case.' A second phase of the trial will now determine punitive damages, as was reported at the time. Read the original article on People
