And Just Like That… Sex and The City fans will no longer be tormented by its divisive revival.
Creator Michael Patrick King has confirmed that And Just Like That, which has regularly been branded ‘the worst show on TV’,is coming to an end after its third and current season.
In a statement shared on Instagram, King wrote: ‘And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end.
‘While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That… season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.
‘Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, we decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale and extended the original series order from 10 episodes to 12.
‘SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn’t want the word “final” to overshadow the fun of watching the season.
‘It’s with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.’
Despite the relentless backlash and calls for it to be over, viewers who have spent three seasons ‘hate-watching’ are still absolutely crushed.
And Just Like That hater Tom Zohar wrote on X: ‘PLEASE I DIDN’T MEAN ALL THE THINGS I SAID ABOUT YOU I LOVE YOU PLEASE DON’T LEAVE.’
Another fan who loved to hate-watch, Felipe, tweeted: ‘conflicted because the show is objectively terrible but i’d still watch 10 seasons of it.’
Pop Culture Instagram account Deuxmoi commented: ‘See what happens when you complain!!!!!’
Others said they ‘felt sick’ and were ‘devastated’ but there was also a large sector of the And Just Like That audience who breathed a sigh of relief.
Sex and The City was an instant movement when it launched in 1998, making Carrie Bradshaw (Parker), Miranda Hobbes, (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte Yorke (Kristin Davis) and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) four of the most loved women of the decade.
Their influence has hardly faltered almost 30 years later.
In 2021 the girls were back – well, without Samantha due to Cattrall’s fall out with the rest of the cast – in And Just Like That, the reboot so many longed for but never thought would happen.
The excitement was unrivalled but soon fizzled out when Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte were criticised for being unrecognisable to the women fans adored and watching Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) felt like a punishment when we’d all been so patient.
The latest series was praised for getting back on track but it also came with bizarre misfires. In one episode, Lisa Todd Wexley’s (Nicole Ari Parker) dad died from a stroke. Fans noted that she claimed he’d already died back in season one.
Producers did explain the issue, insisting the father mentioned in season one was her stepfather but fans weren’t satisfied with the response.
Parker shared a series of iconic Carrie moments and said the columnist with the wardrobe worth millions ‘dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all.’
Davis, who starred as Charlotte for 27 years, wrote: ‘I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love.
‘And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever.’
And Just Like That is available to stream on NOW.
