Kim Cattrall’s Cryptic Farewell After And Just Like That Ends
Hi, I’m Jaden Patel. Let’s pretend this is the twist we’ve all been waiting for.
Kim Cattrall offered a succinct message of “the end of a very long week” after And Just Like That creator Michael Patrick King confirmed the revival would wrap up with its third season. The announcement came via King’s Instagram on August 1, where he admitted that while scripting the final episodes he realized it was “a wonderful place to stop.” Hours later, Cattrall posted a serene sunset over water, tossing in a heart and lip emoji for good measure.
Sarah Jessica Parker quickly weighed in with a heartfelt reflection on her alter ego. “Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years,” Parker wrote on her own Instagram, according to E! News. She praised the emotional roller coaster of supporting her character through triumphs and missteps, and noted that she and King agreed it was time to close this chapter.
Cynthia Nixon chimed in next, marveling at a journey she called “a wild beautiful ride from start to finish.” In her Instagram post, Nixon confessed she’ll miss the daily camaraderie, but added that “we will always be a part of each other’s lives.” Kristin Davis also shared her bittersweet sentiment, describing herself as “profoundly sad” yet deeply thankful for the crew and cast who poured love into the series, as reported by Variety.
Cattrall herself remained at arm’s length from the show, opting out of the principal cast when And Just Like That premiered in 2021—17 years after the original Sex and the City finale. She briefly reprised Samantha Jones for a cameo in the season two finale, but made it clear on Today that her involvement would go “this far and no further.”
The wrap-up underscores a broader TV landscape in flux. Netflix’s Yellowstone spin-off starring Eric Bana secured a season two renewal, while Peacock’s Days of Our Lives was greenlit for seasons 62 and 63. Apple TV+ also renewed an Owen Wilson comedy a full season ahead of its premiere, proving that endings and renewals often go hand in hand.
Back on the Celebrity Island, fans are left to wonder if Cattrall’s understated salute marks a final word or another future cameo surprise. Michael Patrick King’s decision to call time on the series has set social feeds ablaze with nostalgic memes and impromptu Carrie Bradshaw fashion rewind reels.
Even without Samantha Jones at the center, the quartet’s farewell is shaping up to be a cultural moment—one that blends gratitude, reflection, and a pinch of dry humor. So as And Just Like That takes its final bow, it’s worth asking: what will these characters—and their fans—do next?
Tune in next time for more emotional goodbyes and cryptic Instagram updates.
