Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, best known to Sex and the City fans as Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York, have shared emotional tributes following the surprise cancellation of the HBO Max revival series And Just Like That.
The announcement, made by showrunner Michael Patrick King on Instagram, left both cast and fans reeling as the series' second season prepares to air its two-part finale.
Cynthia Nixon, 59, expressed her gratitude and sorrow in a heartfelt Instagram post on Friday. Alongside a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos, she wrote, “I can’t believe our wild, beautiful And Just Like That ride is almost over. It has been such a delight from start to finish.”
Nixon’s tribute spoke to the deep bond formed with her fellow cast and crew members, adding, “I will miss working with these people every day SO incredibly much but know we will always be a part of each other’s lives.” She concluded her post with a promise of more Instagram content and “surprises” to come in the lead-up to the finale.
Kristin Davis, 60, echoed Nixon’s sentiments in a message shared to her Instagram Stories. Reacting to the news, she wrote, “I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working hard on our show with deep love.”
Davis also took time to acknowledge the unwavering support of the fans: “We love you forever and ever.” Later, she reshared Nixon’s post and added a personal note, saying there are “not enough words to describe” her love for longtime co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Nixon.
Nicole Ari Parker, who joined the revival as Lisa Todd Wexley, also expressed her gratitude for being part of the extended Sex and the City family. Posting photos with the main trio—Parker, Nixon, and Davis—she wrote, “An honor and a joy to be a part of this iconic family. ❤️”
She praised the creative team, including showrunner King and the cast, for creating a special experience from beginning to end: “From the first day to the last, it has been Just Like That: Amazing.”
Meanwhile, Kim Cattrall—who famously opted out of participating in the reboot, save for a brief cameo in Season 2—offered a cryptic Instagram post. The 68-year-old actress simply wrote, “It’s the end of a very long week ❤️💋,” alongside a serene image of a sunset, hinting at her distance from the franchise’s current iteration while acknowledging the end of an era.
Sarah Jessica Parker, who has portrayed Carrie Bradshaw since 1998, also released a reflective message on Instagram. Without directly referencing the cancellation, she spoke lovingly of her time on the series, writing, “It will be forever before I forget.” Parker’s words underscored the depth of connection the actors have with their characters and the show's enduring legacy.
Showrunner Michael Patrick King explained the decision to end the revival while writing the final episode. “It became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop,” he shared on Instagram.
Although the cancellation took fans by surprise, King noted that they delayed the announcement to avoid overshadowing the joy of watching the new season. His decision closes the chapter on a series that, despite divided reactions, rekindled nostalgia and addressed new phases of life with humor and heart.
