And just like that… its over, thank God
Somewhere Kim Cattrall is laughing. 'And Just Like That..' is dead. This will be the 'Sex and the City' reboot's last season. In a letter posted to social media, creator Michael Patrick King wrote of its demise. 'Sarah Jessica Parker 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.' Advertisement 6 Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Sarah Jessica Parker wearing very fancy togs in a cafe scene from *And Just Like That…* Photograph by Craig Blankenhorn/Max However, there was no fun in watching 'And Just Like That…' Only frustration they made it in the first place. In episode seven of the just-aired third season, Anthony Marentino, played by Mario Cantone grumbles, 'Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.' He was talking about a karaoke performance, but it felt like a metaphor for the whole thing. Advertisement Every week the bar fell lower and lower, and it became obvious HBO killed the golden goose. They turned an enduring cultural phenomenon — what started in the late 90s as a sharp and witty aspirational series about four stylish friends unapologetically sowing their oats in an ever-changing New York City — into a woke joke. 6 In 'And Just Like That' Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw wears a ridiculous hat around Central Park. GC Images The entire endeavor felt like reparations for progressive whinge Cynthia Nixon, who has never stopped complaining about the lack of diversity in the original series. Advertisement 'And Just like That…' debuted in 2021, in the midst of the great awokening. They killed rich guy Mr. Big, added a few racial minorities, two insufferable nonbinary characters (Che and Charlotte's daughter Rock) and mirroring reality, turned Nixon's Miranda Hobbes into a lesbian. It went from appointment television to checklist TV. Critics hated it. This season was less invested in the identity aspect, which made their paint by numbers approach all the more glaring. There was no substance underneath the hood. In season 3, Parker's Carrie Bradshaw takes a stab at historical fiction. She meets her biographer neighbor who is meant to be a Ron Chernow-like figure. Advertisement 6 Lisa Todd Wexley and Charlotte York wear impractical clothing to go 'glamming' on Governor's Island in 'And Just Like That…' season 3. Photograph by Craig Blankenhorn/Max They swap manuscripts, and he marvels over her prose like she's Jane Austen. It's silly. An overbearing Charlotte York deals with her husband's cancer diagnosis, real estate maven Seema Patel has to give up her chauffeured car after getting shafted by Ryan Serhant, while filmmaker Lisa Rodd Wexley flirts with a coworker. Miranda sleeps with a closeted nun played by Rosie O'Donnell and is once again gratuitously naked — an unsightly throughline. In other words, it should have come with a trigger warning. 6 The original 'Sex and the City' cast wore stylish but relatively relatable clothing. Moviestore/Shutterstock Then there was the fashion. In the original series stylist Patricia Field expertly molded four archetypes, setting real life trends and turning luxury labels like Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo into household names while Carrie's Fendi Baguette became an 'It' bag. Carrie was eclectic and cool, the others chic and polished. This latest version, the women aren't wearing clothing as much as they are ridiculous costumes. In one scene, Carrie struts around Central Park in a giant Holly Hobbie hat and matching prairie dress. Ditto for Lisa and Charlotte, who always look like Bergdorf mannequins — even at school drop off.

No one in New York dresses like this. The original sold a Cosmo-soaked version of New York City where friendships were unbreakable, sex was plenty and the air was optimistic.

Photograph by Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max But in their 50s, they all seem to be struggling more than ever. And yes, pathetic. A younger colleague told me this chapter made her sad and was more of a cautionary tale for 20 somethings. It took the air out of the fantasy — and ruined the sex.

The pair meet at a lesbian bar, before heading back to Mary's hotel room where they then have sex. Advertisement 7 'And Just Like That…' Season 3 premiere.

So then, this was your first time with a woman?' to which her new friend shockingly replies, 'This is my first time with anyone. I'm a virgin. Well, I was a virgin.'

'And she was dressed like a regular lesbian… In fact, she didn't mention it until right after she told me she was a virgin.' Advertisement 'So, you deflowered the Virgin Mary?' Carrie responded. Carrie had her own wild sex story herself. In one cringey scene, she and long distance boyfriend Aidan (John Corbett) have phone sex. As he sits in his car in Virginia, she is distracted by her cat back in Manhattan. And she inevitably gets interrupted when Aidan accidentally hits the horn of his vehicle. 'My goodness,' Carrie says. Later on, over cocktails, Carrie admits that she faked it. 'And now I feel dishonest,' she sighed. 7 Cynthia Nixon and Rosie O'Donnell in 'And Just Like That..'

'And that the tensions between Miranda and Che—and also Miranda and Steve—had been quelled and quieted.' Advertisement 'Just speaking for Miranda,' Nixon explained, 'it meant that she was setting out on this new dating world having decided she wanted to date women and non-binary people, but not really quite knowing how to go about that.' Season 3 of the 'Sex and the City' spinoff, which also stars Kristin Davis, Nicole Ari Parker and Sarita Choudhury, will see a slew of guest stars, including Patti LuPone, Logan Marshall Green and 'Law & Order' actor Mehcad Brooks. 7 Season 3 of 'And Just Like That.' HBO Brooks, 44, will have his own love story play out while working opposite Parker, 54. Advertisement He exclusively told The Post about joining the series, 'The part of my personality that will do anything for a laugh that has no place on 'Law & Order,' I get to do it [on this show].' 'One of the highlights of my career is that I get to act across from Nicole Ari Parker,' the star gushed. 'I've known her for 20 years, we've worked together before – but never in this way.' Brooks added, 'She's just a joy to be around, I'm learning so much.' Sharing details about his character, Marion Odin, the 'Desperate Housewives' alum said he is 'an award-winning editor of films and documentaries and kind of a spiritual guy. He's funny and goofy and just the kind of guy who is really helpful and earnest but also will do anything for a laugh.' Advertisement 7 Season 3 'And Just Like That.' HBO Brooks teased: 'That's kind of who I am, anyway.' Without giving too much away, the actor did note that his relationship with Parker's Lisa — who is married — gets 'humorously cloudy.'

Sarah Jessica Parker felt 'really sad saying goodbye to Mr. Big'
Sarah Jessica Parker was "really sad to say goodbye" to Mr. Big on 'And Just Like That...'. The 60-year-old actress' on-screen character, Carrie Bradshaw, dated Mr. Big in 'Sex and the City' and 'And Just Like That..' - but the character was cut from the show after co-star Chris Noth was accused of sexual assault back in 2021. Speaking of Carrie and Mr. Big's relationship, Sarah told E! News: "It was romantic, and it was a disaster. "It was destructive, and it was healthy. Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally. That's not just a thread. It's one of the main arteries that you would struggle to do without." Sarah enjoyed the storyline of Carrie and Mr. Big's turbulent relationship, and she's found it hard to move on from their on-screen romance. The actress said: "It was really sad to say goodbye to that. It's not like I needed it for my own health or wellbeing, but that was a hugely wonderful story to tell for a lot of years." Chris was accused of sexual assault by multiple women in December 2021. The allegations led to him being axed from the second season of 'And Just Like That...'. However, Chris denied the allegations, describing them as "categorically false". He said in a statement at the time: "These stories could've been from 30 years ago or 30 days ago – no always means no – that is a line I did not cross. "The encounters were consensual. It's difficult not to question the timing of these stories coming out. I don't know for certain why they are surfacing now, but I do know this: I did not assault these women." In 2022, Sarah revealed that she cut all ties with Chris after the allegations emerged. Asked how she reacted to the news as a producer of the show, Sarah told The Hollywood Reporter: "I don't even know if I'm ready to talk about it, but I don't think … I wasn't reacting as a producer." Sarah admitted that she still found it hard to discuss the subject. She said: "I should have worked on this [answer] because I'm just … it's just..."
