Kristin Davis says she and her castmates were caught off guard by the news that HBO’s “And Just Like That” would be ending after three seasons. Davis, who plays Charlotte York in the “Sex and the City” franchise, recently reflected on the reboot’s conclusion during an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”
“It’s definitely true, we didn’t know,” the actress confirmed on Tuesday. “Our commitment that we had made was a three-year commitment to each other, so we knew that part, but I just assumed that we were going to keep going. That’s how I am,” she added.
Last month, showrunner Michael Patrick King revealed he decided to conclude the “Sex and the City” revival while writing the Season 3 finale. In a statement, he said, “It became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.” King and Sarah Jessica Parker, who portrays Carrie Bradshaw, kept the news a secret until filming wrapped on August 14 to avoid overshadowing the season’s release.
Davis, Parker, and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) publicly expressed their sadness about the series’ end on Instagram in August. “I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love,” Davis wrote at the time. Parker praised the “joy, adventure, and the greatest kind of hard work,” adding, “I am better for every single day I spent with you.” Nixon shared behind-the-scenes photos, calling the show “an exciting and life changing part of the new, fabulous, middle-aged incarnation” of “Sex and the City.”
Notably, Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones in the original series, did not reprise her role in “AJLT” due to her feud with Parker. However, the actress made a cameo in the second season finale.
