Carrie Bradshaw’s chapter has come to a close on And Just Like That — but maybe not forever.
While the Sex and the City spinoff bid farewell earlier this month after a three-season run, executive producer Elisa Zuritsky quipped during a Sunday, August 24, interview with TVLine that Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is “alive” — meaning a return “could happen.”
“Sarah Jessica Parker is Michael Patrick King’s muse,” Zuritsky told the outlet, referring to the showrunner, “and the reason he says ‘I’ve said goodbye before and I’ve come back’ is because it’s true.”
The decision to return, ultimately, is in King’s hands, Zuritsky added, “We serve at his pleasure.”

“I am the eternal optimist. So I don’t like to be too final about things, and life is long. I mean, we’ve all seen lots of things happen,” Zuritsky said, sharing that she has notes and ideas for story lines with Carrie, Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York “on my phone, on my computer.”
When Sex and the City came to an end in 2004, fellow EP Julie Rottenberg admitted that the writers would continue to brainstorm ideas for the characters.
“We would have some embarrassing experience, and we would say, ‘That would have been a perfect Miranda story.’ ‘My husband just went and did this crazy thing. That would have been a great Harry story,’” Rottenberg said. “We keep a little list.”
News broke earlier this month that And Just Like That was officially ending, with Parker explaining that the decision was “because that’s where the story ended.”

“We could have gone on doing coffee shops. There’s a million ways to do it that are easy and familiar and fun, but feel exploitative to us. We felt this was the honorable thing to do,” she told The New York Times on August 15. “It’s very easy to stay. It’s where we’re all happy. But you have to be principled when you make these very difficult, agonizing decisions because there’s a lot of people who are affected.”
King, for his part, shared that he was ready to have the show come to a close. “Anyone else could keep going. I can’t,” King told Variety on August 14. “The idea of leaving a party while it’s still happening is the most elegant thing you can say for a TV series.”
King noted that neither he nor Parker had been wanting to exit And Just Like That before the season 3 finale. “It’s because we don’t just want to do it. We want to do it well, or do it when there’s something kind of dangerous and exciting to say,” he said. “We were just following the feelings of the writing and story and where we could bring Carrie that would be enough of a finish that people could continue with their fan fiction writing on their own.”
And Just Like That is now streaming on HBO Max.
