As the finale of And Just Like That… approaches on August 14, fans are grappling with the series’ abrupt conclusion. The show’s ending has sparked a mix of emotions, with many lamenting that it didn’t get a more celebratory sendoff.
Star Sarah Jessica Parker addressed the speculation surrounding the show’s cancellation during an intimate Hamptons brunch and Q&A for fans on Monday. When asked if she was leaving room for Carrie Bradshaw to continue in some form, Parker replied, “I have learned not to say goodbye, but to say farewell.” She emphasized that her decision to end the series was a personal one, driven by the desire to honor the show’s legacy and respect its fans.
Despite criticisms of the spinoff’s often absurd storylines and character choices, many fans are nostalgic for the show and its exploration of complex themes. Journalist Lindy Segal notes that despite its flaws, And Just Like That… has a peculiar charm that makes it enjoyable to watch “painfully” with a big smile on her face.
Deputy editor Anna Moeslein agrees, stating that the show’s willingness to tackle difficult topics in an unapologetic and imperfect way resonated with viewers. As she puts it, “The point of And Just Like That… was never to be sleek or cool or even sexy; it’s just life in all shades.”
As fans prepare for the finale, they’re reflecting on what made And Just Like That… a staple in their lives. For some, it’s the comfort of returning to a familiar world with beloved characters, even if the plot points may seem silly at times.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s dedication to Carrie Bradshaw’s legacy is clear, and her comments have provided fans with hope that her character might continue to evolve in some way beyond the Sex and the City finale.
