Kim Cattrall shared this on Instagram after it was announced that “And Just Like That” was ending after three seasons. Kim Cattrall/InstagramCattrall hinted about the end with an Instagram post made shortly after the showrunner, Michael Patrick King, and the franchise’s star, Sarah Jessica Parker, made the announcement.
Posting clear waters with a gorgeous sunset, Cattrall posted hours after news broke of the “And Just Like That” series ending.
“It’s the end of a very long week ❤️💋,” the actress wrote.
Although she did not join her original co-stars Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) for the reboot, following an alleged feud with Parker, Cattrall did make a brief cameo at the end of Season 2.
Her absence was felt by fans everywhere and was a huge miss for the series.

She reprised the fan-favorite role alongside Parker, Nixon and Davis in the 2008 “Sex and the City” movie and its 2010 sequel.

“I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it,” she told the outlet in June. “And if I’m remembered only for that, then that’s really OK.”
As for Cattrall’s former co-stars, they each took to social media following the news that “And Just Like That” would not be returning after Season 3, which is currently airing.

“I am profoundly sad,” Davis, also 60, said in an Instagram post of her own. “I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working hard on our show with deep love.”
Nixon, 59, wrote that she “couldn’t believe” the “Sex and the City” franchise was officially coming to an end.

The sequel series’ showrunner, meanwhile, insisted that the show wasn’t canceled.
While announcing the end of “And Just Like That” on Friday, King explained why the show will not continue beyond a two-part series finale later this month.
Creator Michael Patrick King announced that “And Just Like That” is ending after its current, third season. AndJustLikeThat/X“And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the ‘Sex And The City’ universe is coming to an end,” he said. “While I was writing the last episode of ‘And Just Like That…’ season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.”
Canceled or not, the reboot’s ratings had been steadily dropping from season to season.
Some critics claimed that the show had become “insufferably woke” — particularly with Miranda’s non-binary love interest, Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez).
“Che seems like they are a manifestation of… an irritating Twitter account come to life,” one viewer told The Post after the first season aired.

Comedian Bobby Lee, who played the role of Jackie Nee in the first two seasons, also claimed last month that the sequel series ditched its “woke elements” for Season 3.
“Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that,” he said.
However, insiders speculated that the series was most likely cut because it was simply becoming too expensive.
