‘And Just Like That…’ is officially cancelled after Season 3

HBO Max has confirmed that And Just Like That…, the revival and sequel to Sex and the City, will conclude with its third season. Showrunner Michael Patrick King made the announcement on August 1, explaining that while writing the season’s final episode, he realized it was a natural endpoint for the series. The season was extended from 10 to 12 episodes to accommodate a two-part finale airing on August 7 and August 14, respectively.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who has portrayed Carrie Bradshaw since 1998, shared an emotional post on Instagram in response. She reflected on her 27-year journey with the character, describing Carrie as someone who ‘broke hearts, heels and habits’ and expressing gratitude for the fans and creative team. Parker wrote that both she and King recognised that this chapter had reached a satisfying conclusion, calling the production process ‘joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent.’

Cynthia Nixon, who revived her role as Miranda Hobbes, posted a touching tribute on her Instagram account, celebrating the friendships, memories, and collaborative experience. She expressed that while she will deeply miss her co-stars, “we will always be a part of each other’s lives” and teased surprises in the final episodes.

Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York, described herself as ‘profoundly sad’ in a post shared on Instagram. She thanked the ‘whole beautiful cast and crew’ and reassured fans of the show’s lasting impact. She emphasized gratitude to the 400 artisans involved in producing the series and reiterated appreciation to viewers for their ongoing support.

Other cast members echoed similar sentiments. Actor Mario Cantone called his work on the show ‘a beautiful journey,’ while younger cast members such as Alexa Swinton (Rock) and Alexander Bello (Henry) shared personal reflections about growth and gratitude from their time on set. Bello noted how the series shaped his adolescence, beginning as a seventh grader and ending as he prepares to head off to college.

The decision to end the series appears to be a creative choice rather than a cancellation due to underperformance. While viewership declined over successive seasons, the producers and lead cast have framed this as closing a story on their own terms, a final creative closing for the Sex and the City universe. As the last two episodes approach, fans are engaging in reflection, anticipation, and mourning for a franchise that has spanned over two decades.
