Fans of the beloved series "Sex and the City" will have to prepare to say goodbye to the reboot "And Just Like That...," which HBO has confirmed will end after its third season. Showrunner Michael Patrick King shared the news on Instagram, stating that while writing the final episode, it became apparent that this was the right moment to conclude the story.
The reboot, which follows the iconic Carrie Bradshaw and her friends navigating life and love in their 50s, has faced a difficult journey with declining viewership — its first episode attracted 1.1 million households, whereas the latest saw that number cut in half. Along with mixed reviews regarding its character diversity and various plot inconsistencies, including bewilderingly resurrected characters, the show has struggled to maintain its fan base.
Before officially announcing the ending, King and Sarah Jessica Parker (who reprises her role as Carrie) wanted to focus on the fun of the final season. Parker celebrated the end of this chapter with a heartfelt post on social media, while co-star Kristin Davis expressed her sadness at the conclusion. Despite previous adaptations and spin-off attempts, King confirmed this would mark the end of the "Sex and the City universe."
As cast members and fans react to the news, the future of the franchise remains uncertain, leaving many longing for more stories from their favorite characters.
