And with that, a cherished era of excitement, camaraderie, and style draws to a close.
Michael Patrick King, the showrunner for โAnd Just Like Thatโฆ,โ a sequel to the beloved โSex and the City,โ has taken to Instagram to announce that the series will conclude following its third season. Fans still have a few episodes to cherish, with a two-part finale slated for release later this month.
โWe extend immense gratitude to all the fans who have welcomed these characters into their lives and homes over the years,โ King expressed in his statement.
King revealed that while penning the final episode of the season, the decision to conclude the series was made. Consequently, the finale was divided into two parts, with the last episode scheduled to air on August 14.
Sarah Jessica Parker, known for her portrayal of the iconic Carrie Bradshaw, shared an emotional message on Instagram as well. She described the sequel as โa source of joy, adventure, and the most rewarding labor alongside extraordinary talent,โ accompanied by a montage celebrating Carrieโs fashion and iconic moments.
โI cherish every single day spent with you. Itโs an experience I will remember forever. Thank you all, with all my heart,โ Parker added.
Parker, along with Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, reprised their roles for the sequel. Notably, Kim Cattrallโs Samantha Jones was mostly absent but did make a brief, uncredited cameo in the second seasonโs finale. Samanthaโs departure was portrayed on the show as a move to London, amidst reports of off-screen conflicts and contract disagreements.
The original series, which aired from 1998 to 2004, captivated audiences with its fashionable and dramatic portrayal of a group of friends navigating life in New York City. The storyline revolved around Carrie, a writer, documenting their journey as they explored relationships, brunches, and shopping.
The sequel revisits the charactersโ lives as they transition into their mid-50s, garnering a mix of reviews. Carrieโs story arc takes a somber turn as she copes with widowhood, Miranda Hobbes, played by Nixon, embraces her queer identity, and Charlotte York Goldenblatt, portrayed by Davis, faces her husband Harryโs prostate cancer diagnosis.
Fashion remains a vital aspect of the show, with those unforgettable heels still echoing through New Yorkโs iconic streets.
In her parting words, Parker reflected on Carrieโs enduring relationship with New York, stating, โShe changed in countless ways, from homes to hairstyles, yet her love for the city never wavered.โ Parker affectionately referred to Carrie as her โprofessional heartbeat for 27 years.โ
