And just like that…Carrie Bradshaw’s story is coming to an end.
The current third season of “And Just Like That” will be the end of the “Sex and the City” universe, showrunner, writer and director Michael Patrick King revealed in a statement on social media on Friday.
“And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the’ Sex And The City’ universe is coming to an end,” he wrote. “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.”
The original “Sex and the City” series debuted on HBO in 1998 and ran for six seasons and spawned two theatrical films. “And Just Like That” debuted in 2021 on HBO Max as a direct sequel of the original series, and the second overall spinoff, following 2013’s two-season prequel “The Carrie Diaries.”
