Sarah Jessica Parker teases Carrie's story may not be over after And Just Like That- here's everything to know

HBO's dramedy series And Just Like That, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis, wrapped up after three seasons on August 14, 2025.

Developed by Michael Patrick King, this Sex and the City revival series is set a decade after the events of the 2010 film. It features the lives of Carrie Bradshaw and her friends in their 50s, as they navigate relationships, friendships, and life in general. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the series has managed to create a steady buzz.

And Just Like That series finale ties up major storylines (even though it was quite rushed), but for Sarah Jessica Parker, Carrie Bradshaw's journey is far from over.

Speaking to CBS Morning (via CBS News), Parker explains that she agrees with the creator's decision to end the series, but hinted that it might not be the end for her character Carrie Bradshaw.

"I'm not certain I understand that decision means, because I could just be on hiatus."

Sarah Jessica Parker adds that it was indeed a difficult decision for everyone to see the series end, and she spoke to the creator about it.

"I think it's out of respect for this really singular professional experience that you have to consider what you want to do, have you done it, and sometimes it's best to gracefully walk away when things feel really right and energetic, versus squeezing and exploiting people's generosity and hospitality."

Will a Carrie Bradshaw spin-off series happen in the future? As per the And Just Like That EP, Elisa Zuritsky, there's a possibility of the return of Parker's iconic character. Speaking to TVLine, she explains,

"Well, she's (Carrie Bradshaw) alive, so it could happen. Sarah Jessica Parker is Michael Patrick King's muse and the reason he says I've said goodbye before and I've come back is because it's true."

And Just Like That finale episode: What happened to Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw?

And Just Like That finale leaves Carrie Bradshaw on an unexpected stark note. She does not reunite with Duncan Reeves or Aidan Shaw. Instead, the series closes on Carrie alone in her Manhattan apartment, rewriting her novel's epilogue to declare, 'The Woman realized she was not alone, she was on her own.' It's a sober acknowledgement that Carrie has embraced her singlehood.

The episode opens with Carrie navigating an ultramodern Asian restaurant. Across the table sits Tommy Tomato, a life-size plushie meant to accompany solo diners.

Amid the absurdity, including a chaotic Thanksgiving dinner, Carrie finds her space. She returns to her apartment, turns on the karaoke machine, and keeps her signature heels on and dances alone. The episode closes on Carrie vibing on Barry White's You're the First, The Last, My Everything while eating a tart. Carrie Bradshaw is defiant, self-reflective, and unapologetically herself.

As the credits roll, nostalgia hits hard as they play the original Sex and the City theme song.

Already missing Sarah Jessica Parker onscreen? Worry not, the Emmy-winning actress is all set to play Sarah Sanderson in Hocus Pocus 3.
