"Sex and the City" revival wraps up with emotional finale

“And Just Like That,” the continuation of the 1990s and early 2000s series “Sex and the City,” will end after its third season, HBO announced, according to the BBC, CE Report quotes ATA.

Renowned American director and screenwriter Michael Patrick King explained on Instagram that while writing the final episode, “it became clear this could be a wonderful moment to end it.”

Named after the iconic catchphrase of main character Carrie Bradshaw, the comedy-drama series follows the romances of three of the four original characters as they navigate their 50s in New York.

The two-part finale has not yet aired.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie, shared a photo montage from both seasons and said the character “has dominated my professional life for 27 years,” but now “this chapter is closed.”

She added:

“And Just Like That” was “a joy, an adventure, and the most beautiful work alongside the most extraordinary talents.”
“It will take me a long time to forget it,” Parker wrote.

“I hope you enjoy these last two episodes as much as we enjoyed making them,” she added.

Kristin Davis (Charlotte York in the series) said, “I’m deeply sad.”

Fans had hoped for another series or spin-off, but King stated that “the ongoing storytelling of the ‘Sex and the City’ universe is coming to an end.”

Viewership has declined over the three seasons.

“The first episode was watched by 1.1 million American households, while the latest had less than half that number,” according to Samba TV.

The show has also faced criticism, particularly for its attempts to diversify the cast.

Elle magazine said this effort “failed,” while The Guardian described it as a “heavy-handed overcorrection” trying to atone for the original’s lack of racial sensitivity.

In the latest season, the character Che Diaz — called “the worst character on television” by The Daily Beast — was replaced by another character who works at the BBC.
