And just like that, Kim Cattrall has spoken.
Hours after Sex and the City creator Michael Patrick King announced that And Just Like That—the sequel series to the beloved HBO show—would be ending after its current third season, the actress shared a cryptic note on Instagram Aug. 1.
Posting a picture of a sunset overlooking a body of water, Kim wrote alongside emojis of a heart and a pair of lips, "It’s the end of a very long week."
But she isn't the only Sex and the City alum to speak out amid news of And Just Like That's final bow. Cattrall's former castmate Sarah Jessica Parker—who stars in the revival alongside Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis—reflected on her iconic character's legacy.
"Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years,” SJP wrote on Instagram. "I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion."
She continued, "MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete."
Cynthia also marveled at the franchise's decades-long journey, calling it "such a delight from start to finish."
"I can’t believe our wild beautiful And Just Like That ride is almost over," she wrote on her own Instagram page. "I will miss working with these people everyday SO incredibly much but know we will always be a part of each other’s lives."
Although Kristin felt "profoundly sad" about the show ending, she expressed gratitude to the cast and crew who worked "so hard on our show with deep love."
"Thank you to you all," she added in her own post. "You hold me up and i do not take it for granted!!!"
And Just Like That premiered in 2021, more than 17 years after Sex and the City went off the air. Out of the series' four main leads, Kim was the only star who opted not to return.
"It's a great wisdom to know when enough is enough," she told Variety in a new 2022 interview. "I also didn't want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear."
And while Kim did reprise her role as Samantha Jones for a cameo in the season two finale, it was a one-off thing. As she told Today in 2023, "This is as far as I'm gonna go."
