Although Carrie Bradshaw has hung up her Manolos for now, Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t appear to have fully parted with the role.
Following the series finale of And Just Like That…, the 6x Golden Globe winner recently teased that she’s “not certain” if the Sex and the City character has truly seen her final chapter, explaining why showrunner Michael Patrick King decided to end the series revival.
“I think it’s out of respect for this really singular professional experience that you have to consider what you want to do, have you done it,” she said on CBS Mornings. “And sometimes it’s best to gracefully walk away when things feel really right and energetic, versus squeezing and exploiting people’s generosity and hospitality.”

Parker added of the recent series finale, “I’m not certain I understand that decision means, because I could just be on hiatus.”
In July, King notified cast before announcing the two-part series finale of the three-season revival that launched in 2021.
“And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end,” said King. “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.”
Parker, who has played the fashionable sex columnist since the original HBO show’s 1998-2004 run and two subsequent movies, offered “the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt” to fans as she bid farewell to the character.
