The chic cosmos of 'Sex And The City' says goodbye forever. Michael Patrick King, creator and showrunner of 'And Just Like That,' has officially announced that the third season will mark the final conclusion of the iconic franchise.

The HBO Max series, which brought back Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte two decades after its original debut, will end with a two-episode special, extending its final season from 10 to 12 episodes.

“And just like that... the narrative of the 'Sex and the City' universe comes to an end,” King said in a nostalgic statement. “I realized this could be an excellent stopping point.” And she's not wrong: 'And Just Like That' knew how to close cycles, reunite characters and explore new stages in the lives of its protagonists.

The protagonists who returned

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis once again embodied their already legendary characters, leaving behind the brilliance of their twenties and embracing the challenges (and comedies) of life in their fifties. The notable absentee, as expected, was Kim Cattrall, who only made a fleeting cameo at the end of the second season.

However, the series managed to incorporate new voices and faces: Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Chris Jackson, and the already fired Sara Ramirez and Karen Pittman, added diversity and freshness to this more contemporary version of the show.

Despite mixed reviews after its 2021 premiere, 'And Just Like That' won over a new audience and kept longtime fans hooked. King confessed that he and Parker delayed announcing the finale so as not to tarnish the experience of watching the third season with the weighty word "finale" hanging over them from the beginning.

The universe created by Darren Star and launched by HBO in 1998 not only marked an era, but miraculously managed to survive it. And as King famously said, this was a different series: "There's a difference between 35 and 55." Not just in age, but in the way you look. What used to be champagne in Manhattan and dream dates is now reflection, loss, reunions, and the beauty of continuing to discover oneself.

Kristin Davis summed it up charmingly: "The fact that we were able to do two series about the same characters is crazy, mind-blowing. I'm so happy they let us."

So yes, it's the end. But like any good New York story, not before leaving us with one last toast, some well-placed heels, and a couple of unforgettable lines.
