And Just Like That… Finale Sparks Mixed Emotions

Sarah Jessica Parker announced that the series finale of And Just Like That… will be a two-part conclusion, extending the original 10-episode order to 12. The move has sparked mixed reactions from fans and cast members.

Parker expressed her gratitude for the show’s impact on her life, stating that Carrie Bradshaw has dominated her professional heartbeat for 27 years. She also shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, thanking fans for their love and support.

Other cast members, including Evan Handler, Alexa Swinton, Alexander Bello, and Sarita Choudhury, have responded to the news with their own messages. While some have expressed sadness at the show’s conclusion, others have thanked Parker and the team for the opportunities they’ve had.

However, not all fans are pleased with the direction of the show’s final season. One critic noted that the new characters feel like “forced puzzle pieces” and that the writing has been uneven. The critic suggested that a fresh arc, potentially directed by Nancy Meyers, could help revive the show’s magic.

Despite the mixed reviews, Parker remains confident in the show’s ability to bring in strong writers and reshape its direction. She also expressed her desire to see the cast take on new projects, including independent films that showcase their talents.

The finale is set to be a emotional conclusion to the series, one that will undoubtedly leave fans feeling nostalgic and perhaps a little sad. As Parker put it, “It begins and ends with you.”
