Could Carrie Bradshaw Return? And Just Like That Producer Teases Possibility of More Stories
Is it really the end for Carrie Bradshaw? Maybe not if And Just Like That executive producer Elisa Zuritsky has anything to say about it.Just weeks after the Sex and the City revival wrapped its third and reportedly final season on Max, Zuritsky is leaving the door open for more from the iconic New York writer, much to the delight (and curiosity) of longtime fans.Shes alive, so it could happen, Zuritsky said in an interview with TVLine, referencing the shows central character, played by Sarah Jessica Parker.While the showrunner didnt confirm any future projects, her comments have sparked speculation that Carries story might not be completely over, even after a finale that felt like a definitive farewell.The Final Chapter, Or Not?And Just Like That concluded its third season earlier this month with what was billed as its series finale, ending on a reflective and empowering note. The final scenes followed Carrie as she embraced her independence, choosing solitude over an unfulfilling relationship. In the closing voiceover, she writes in the epilogue to her book: The woman realized she was not alone. She was on her own.For Zuritsky, this moment was a full-circle conclusion that stayed true to Carries essence.I think its sort of extra poignant and feels authentic to [Carries] character that she would reach this moment, she said. Shes decided that shed rather be on her own than in a not-ideal partnership.She added that the series finale was the most honest and satisfying ending of the three seasons: Out of all the finales, this one definitely rings the most true.Still, Zuritsky isnt quite ready to call it the end forever. I dont like to be too final about things, and life is long, she said. Weve all seen lots of things happen.Hope From the Inner CircleZuritskys optimism comes with the caveat that the shows future ultimately lies in the hands of creator Michael Patrick King, who has had a longstanding creative partnership with Parker.Sarah Jessica Parker is Michael Patrick Kings muse, Zuritsky said. And the reason he says, Ive said goodbye before and Ive come back, is because its true.King himself, however, has spoken more definitively. When asked by Deadline if a film continuation of And Just Like That was in the works, he replied bluntly: Look, I closed the book. Heres the sound of the book. Boom!He reiterated that sentiment in a separate interview with Variety, saying, It is closed. Because I care so much about what weve done.But even Parker has left a sliver of possibility in the air. During a recent Q&A, she said she wasnt saying goodbye to Carrie, she was saying farewell. When asked whether this was truly the final chapter for her beloved character, she admitted, Its incredibly hard to be definitive.A Legacy That EnduresThe revival, which reunited Carrie with her original besties, Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), built on the legacy of Sex and the City while updating the narrative to reflect middle age, changing relationships, and new social realities. Though the show faced criticism and praise in equal measure, it continued to stir strong reactions from fans, just like the original series did decades ago.From controversial storylines (including that infamous toilet scene in the finale) to poignant reflections on aging, friendship, and identity, And Just Like That remained a cultural talking point throughout its run.As for what comes next, only time will tell. But if Zuritsky has her way, the next chapter in Carrie Bradshaws life might still be unwritten.Im the eternal optimist, she said.All three seasons of And Just Like That are currently streaming on Max, alongside the original Sex and the City series and its two film installments. Whether this is truly the last well see of Carrie Bradshaw or just another intermission fans can at least take comfort in knowing that, for now, shes out there living her good life.Source
