Based on the tone of King’s statement, it sounds likeAnd Just Like That’s finale is the finalSex and the Citysegment, bringing the franchise to a close.King’s statement reads,“The ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end,”suggesting HBO won’t continue expanding Carrie Bradshaw’s universe.
Sarah Jessica Parker also made a statement aboutAnd Just Like That’s conclusion, posting a video to herInstagramaccount that served as a love letter to Carrie Bradshaw and her iconic story. In a poetic monologue accompanying the video,Parker stated,“MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete.”
While Parker leaves the door open for something in the future, simply stating “this chapter” is complete, she is doubtlessly saying goodbye to the Carrie Bradshaw character. Maybe we can’t count out that the story will continue, but it’s the end ofAnd Just Like That,and an era, and potentially the conclusion of the franchise.
