Classic Sex and the City vibe returns in And Just Like That, yet the series abruptly ends.
The beloved spin-off of the iconic series Sex and the City, titled "And Just Like That", is set to air its final episode on HBO Max. The decision to end the series was made by the creators and key stakeholders, including Michael Patrick King, Sarah Jessica Parker, and HBO Max executives, who felt it was a natural and satisfying stopping point for the story[1][2][3].
In the third season, the focus has been rightfully centered on Carrie's own romantic entanglements and close friendships[3]. The final episode will air at 9pm Eastern on Thursday, August 14[4].
Michael Patrick King, who also served as the showrunner of the original SATC, returned to captain the spinoff[1]. King stated that while writing the last episode, it became clear that this was a wonderful place to stop, and they delayed announcing the finality to avoid overshadowing the enjoyment of the season[2][3].
Although the show is described as ending, it was not technically cancelled by HBO Max and could potentially return in the future, but there are no current plans to continue it beyond season three[2][3].
The original series order for the third season of "And Just Like That" was extended from 10 episodes to 12 episodes[5]. In the end of episode 9, "Present Tense," Carrie joined her girlfriends for commiseration cocktails, reaffirming that the women she surrounded herself with were the true loves of her life[6].
The beloved lead trio in the spinoff, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, reprised their roles as Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York, respectively[7]. John Corbett, Evan Handler, David Eigenberg, and Mario Cantone also returned to their roles[8].
A promo for the series finale of "And Just Like That" is available to watch[9]. Carrie's emotional dissolution of her relationship with Aidan felt like a classic Bradshaw moment[10]. Kim Cattrall's character, Samantha Jones, only appeared in one cameo in the spinoff[11].
The universe of "Sex and the City" will be saying a last goodbye with the end of "And Just Like That." Across three seasons, the series failed to live up to the magic of its pioneering predecessor[12]. However, the final episode promises to bring the story to a satisfying conclusion, marking a return to familiar territory for the series[6].
