UPDATE: The future of Carrie Bradshaw may not be over just yet! In a surprising twist, executive producer Elisa Zuritsky hinted that the controversial spinoff “And Just Like That” could return, stating, “Well, she’s alive, so it could happen.” This revelation comes just days after the series finale aired on August 14, 2023.
Fans of the iconic character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker might still have reasons to celebrate, despite the show’s mixed reception. Zuritsky emphasized that Parker is the creative force behind the series, calling her creator Michael Patrick King’s “muse.” She expressed optimism, noting, “I don’t like to be too final about things, and life is long.”
The show debuted on HBO Max in 2021, running for three seasons. It faced backlash for its bold storytelling choices, including the shocking death of Carrie’s longtime love, Big (played by Chris Noth). New characters like Che Diaz (played by Sara Ramirez) also garnered criticism from fans.
Zuritsky revealed that she keeps notes with ideas for future storylines about Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte, suggesting that the door remains open for more adventures. “We serve at [King’s] pleasure,” she stated, hinting at the creative possibilities ahead.
The show’s ending left viewers with an ambiguous sense of closure, as Carrie was shown alone in her apartment, reflecting on her journey. Costume designer Molly Rogers noted that she sensed the end while reading the final script, saying, “There were a lot of little underlying – I feel like – subliminal messages.”
The announcement of the series’ conclusion came suddenly, just two weeks before the finale, when King and Parker shared the news via social media on August 1. However, Rogers mentioned that no formal communication about the show’s status was made, leading to speculation about its future.
With hints of a possible revival circulating, fans are left wondering what’s next for the beloved characters of “Sex and the City.” As Zuritsky maintains her hopeful outlook, the potential for Carrie’s return adds an exciting layer to the ongoing discussions surrounding the series.
