Spectacular Conclusion of the Television Era:
In a farewell to one of television's most iconic series, the third season of "And Just Like That..." - the revival/sequel to the groundbreaking show "Sex and the City" - is set to air its final episode on August 14, 2025. This marks the official conclusion of the "Sex and the City" storyline, with no current plans for a continuation or spin-off beyond this point.
The series, which follows the lives of four friends - Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) - has been a cultural phenomenon since its premiere in the US in 1998. The show took the world by storm, with its German debut following in 2001.
The third season, announced in August 2023, was expanded from 10 to 12 episodes to offer a final conclusion to the story. However, the reception of the series has been mixed, with reviews ranging from negative to lukewarm. The decline in viewership and the mixed reviews likely influenced the decision not to extend the show.
Many fans have taken to social media, expressing their feelings about the series as a "hate-watch" due to its departure from the original's charm. Despite this, the loyal fans of the "Sex and the City" generation continue to hope that the series might continue someday.
Executive producer Michael Patrick King confirmed that the decision to end the series was made some time ago, stating that "this might be a wonderful place to stop." Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie Bradshaw, shared her love for the character, while Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York, expressed her deep sadness.
The series house of main character Sarah Jessica Parker's character in the West Village has attracted numerous fans, leading the owner to apply for a gate for her staircase at the historic preservation office. The series, based on the books of sex columnist Candace Bushnell, was award-winning and became a cult classic.
After the end of the six seasons of "Sex and the City" in 2004, two feature films in 2008 and 2010 comforted fans, although the reviews for the second film were sometimes harsh. In "And Just Like That...", the friends are no longer in their thirties but over 50, and they are only three now, as Cattrall has left the series. Rumors of backstage disputes, especially with Parker, persist regarding Cattrall's departure from the series.
As the final episode of "And Just Like That..." approaches, fans are reflecting on the impact of the series on popular culture and the memories it has created. The Guardian commented that it's time for a relieved sigh, as "And Just Like That..." was never as good as "Sex and the City." However, the series will undoubtedly remain a beloved part of television history.
The final episode of "And Just Like That..." will air on Thursday, August 14th, in the US and on Friday, August 15th, in Germany on Sky and WOW. As the series comes to an end, fans will undoubtedly remember the adventures, the fashion, and the friendships that made "Sex and the City" a cultural phenomenon."
Movies-and-TV and entertainment have been filled with discussions about the final episode of the revival series "And Just Like That...", a continuation of the iconic show "Sex and the City". Fans across the globe have eagerly watched the series since its debut, making it a significant part of the cultural phenomenon in entertainment.
