Sarah Jessica Parker is bidding farewell to Carrie Bradshaw, the iconic television character she’s played for 27 years across six seasons of HBO’s “Sex and the City,” three seasons of HBO Max’s “And Just Like That” and two feature films. “And Just Like That” showrunner Michael Patrick King announced the “Sex and the City” franchise is ending with “And Just Like That” Season 3, prompting Parker to post an emotional clip montage of Carrie’s best moments on her Instagram alongside a poem about the character’s end.
“Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all,” Parker wrote. “I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all.”
Parker added “this chapter complete” and called “And Just Like That” a “joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us.”
Parker’s longtime co-star Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte York in the franchise, added in her own Instagram post: “I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever.”
“I can’t believe our wild, beautiful ‘And Just Like That’ ride is almost over,” added Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda Hobbs. “It has been such a delight from start to finish. I will miss working with these people everyday SO incredibly much but know we will always be a part of each other’s lives. Get ready for a lot more carousels in the weeks to come! And don’t miss these last few episodes: surprises in store!
In announcing the end of “And Just Like That,” King explained that the team “held off” on 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.”
“And Just Like That” is currently airing its third and now final season on HBO Max. Two episodes remain, which will now be the two-part series finale.
