“And Just Like That...” Wraps Up: Cast Shares Emotional Farewells as Beloved Series Ends After 25 Years

“And Just Like That...” Is Coming to an End — Here’s What You Need to Know

After nearly three seasons, HBO Max’s And Just Like That... is wrapping up, and fans everywhere are feeling all the feels. On August 1st, showrunner Michael Patrick King dropped the bittersweet bombshell: the popular revival series will conclude with its season 3 finale.

This announcement sent waves through the cast, crew, and devoted fans, sparking heartfelt tributes and plenty of nostalgia for the beloved franchise that’s been part of so many lives for over 25 years.

Cynthia Nixon’s Emotional Goodbye: A Tribute to the Journey

Cynthia Nixon, who plays the ever-practical and fiercely intelligent Miranda Hobbes, took to Instagram to pour her heart out. Her message was equal parts grateful, wistful, and excited for what’s still to come in the final episodes.

“I can’t believe our wild beautiful And Just Like That ride is almost over,” Nixon wrote. “It has been such a delight from start to finish.”

She went on to say she’ll miss working with her castmates every single day SO incredibly much, but reassured fans and friends alike that these bonds don’t just disappear.

“We will always be a part of each other’s lives,” she added.

And Nixon didn’t just stop there—she teased the audience with a promise of “a lot more carousels in the weeks to come!” and dropped the hint that these last episodes are packed with surprises. 🫢

A Walk Down Memory Lane: Nixon’s Instagram Carousel

To commemorate her time as Miranda — a character she’s embodied not just in And Just Like That..., but also in the original Sex and the City series and films — Nixon shared a beautiful Instagram carousel.

Inside the collection were candid shots of her with core castmates like Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis. She also honored the wider friend group that’s been central to the story, including Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Karen Pittman, and the late Willie Garson — who played Carrie's unforgettable best friend and sadly passed away after a brief illness in 2021.

The tribute didn’t end there. Nixon acknowledged on-screen partners such as David Eigenberg (Steve) and Sara Ramirez (Che Diaz), and even showcased her character’s journey through photos of her on-screen son Brady Hobbes, played by Joseph Pupo and later Niall Cunningham, growing up from infancy to adolescence.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s Heartfelt Reflection: The End of an Era

Series lead Sarah Jessica Parker, who has portrayed Carrie Bradshaw for nearly three decades, also shared a touching reflection on her Instagram.

Her caption read like a love letter not only to Carrie but to the entire experience:

“She broke hearts, heels, habits,” Parker wrote. “She loved, lost, won, tripped, leaped, fell short and into puddles. Aged, got wiser.”

Carrie’s journey was a rollercoaster of decisions — some hard, some messy, some brilliant.

“Traveled near and far for the new, the vintage, friends and love. Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City,” Parker reflected.

She recalled iconic moments like hailing cabs, running in heels, and dancing with Stanford — memories that are forever etched in pop culture history.

And she didn’t forget to give a shoutout to Willie Garson’s character, emphasizing his importance in the show’s legacy.

The Power of Friendship: Calling Out the Core Trio

Parker also made sure to celebrate the unbreakable bond between the central friends who defined Sex and the City and And Just Like That... — Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis).

“Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends,” she wrote, spotlighting a friendship that has inspired generations.

Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York, responded with a heartfelt comment on Parker’s post:

“Beautiful 😭😭😭😭😭😭.”

Kristin Davis’s Own Farewell: Love for Cast, Crew, and Fans

Davis herself shared a poignant message after King’s announcement:

“I am profoundly sad,” she admitted. “I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love.”

She also sent a big thank-you to fans:

“And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever. ❤️”

Why the Show Is Ending: Behind the Scenes Insights from Michael Patrick King

Michael Patrick King revealed that the decision to conclude And Just Like That... came organically during the writing of season 3’s finale.

“It became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop,” he said.

King worked closely with Sarah Jessica Parker, HBO Max’s Casey Bloys, and Sarah Aubrey to finalize the decision, opting to end the series with a special two-part finale.

Interestingly, the original order of 10 episodes for season 3 was extended to 12 to give the story a proper send-off.

King explained why they kept the news under wraps until the final moments of the season:

“We didn’t want the world ‘final’ to overshadow the fun of watching the season.”
