'And Just Like That' showrunner reflects on why the third season was also the final

Michael Patrick King is opening up about the decision to end HBO Max's And Just Like That, the Sex and The City revival series, which starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Sarita Choudhury, Nicole Ari Parker, Cathy Ang, Mehcad Brooks, Jonathan Cake, Mario Cantone, Niall Cunningham, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, Christopher Jackson, Logan Marshall-Green, Sebastiano Pigazzi, Alexa Swinton, Dolly Wells, and John Corbett.

"The reality is, the decision was not made at the beginning of the season," he explained to Variety. "The third season was going gangbusters in the writing room. And as the stories go, and the stories go, and the stories go, there’s a reason I started saying, 'Don’t repeat.' You start to realize — and it’s part muse, part smarts — 'This is where it’s going.' When Susan Fales-Hill and I were writing the last episode, which is in the middle [of the season’s production], all of a sudden we came up with that moment for the end of the series and the season. 'The woman realized she was not alone — she was on her own.'"
