The facts matter. Here’s what we know so far: Despite the polarizing reception of HBO Max’s “Sex and the City” revival, And Just Like That, there may still be life left in the franchise. Elisa Zuritsky, an executive producer on the series, recently hinted that the story of Carrie Bradshaw — played by Sarah Jessica Parker — is not necessarily over.
Zuritsky told TV Line that since Carrie is “still alive,” the door remains open for more chapters in her life. She emphasized Parker’s enduring creative influence, noting that Parker is the “muse” for series creator Michael Patrick King, who has a history of revisiting characters after supposed farewells. “I am the eternal optimist,” Zuritsky added, suggesting that nothing in entertainment is ever truly final.
The show, which launched in 2021 and spanned three seasons, was met with mixed reviews and fan backlash from the outset. The decision to kill off John Corbett’s Mr. Big (Big) in the first episode divided audiences, as did the introduction of new characters like Che Diaz, played by Sara Ramirez. Despite the controversy, the show remained a cultural talking point, drawing attention for both its storytelling choices and its costume design — a hallmark of the original series.
Interestingly, there was no formal announcement that Season 3 would be the last. Costume designer Molly Rogers, who worked on all iterations of the franchise, told The New York Post that she was never officially informed of the show’s cancellation. “It wasn’t like HBO sent an email saying, ‘pack your bags,’” she revealed, suggesting the production wrapped under a veil of secrecy.
Rogers noted that the final script for the series finale contained subtle cues that Carrie’s journey had reached a natural conclusion. “There were a lot of little underlying — I feel like — subliminal messages,” she said. The series ended with Carrie alone in her apartment, seemingly content with her independence — a fitting, if bittersweet, send-off for a character defined by self-discovery and personal growth.
King and Parker announced the show’s end via social media just weeks before the finale aired, catching many fans off guard. The decision to keep the show’s fate ambiguous until the very end reflects the broader uncertainty surrounding its future. While Zuritsky maintains a hopeful outlook, the franchise’s next steps — if any — will ultimately depend on King’s creative vision and HBO’s strategic direction.
As fans continue to debate the legacy of And Just Like That, one thing remains clear: Carrie Bradshaw’s voice — both as a character and as a cultural icon — still resonates. Whether or not she returns, her influence on television storytelling and female-led narratives endures.
Stay tuned for more updates as the entertainment world watches closely for any signs of a revival.
