Kristin Davis says she
“And Just Like That…” might have generated more hate from viewers than love, but series star Kristin Davis says she’s still hopeful for another chapter in the “Sex and the City” franchise.
On Sunday’s episode of her show “Are You a Charlotte?” On the podcast, Davis confirmed that he hadn’t watched the series finale “And Just Like That…”, which aired on HBO Max in August, “because I’m in denial and I’d like to stay that way.”
In a conversation with former co-star Mario Cantone, Davis also acknowledged that the episode, titled “Party of One” and set during Thanksgiving, was not memorable or profound enough to serve as a conclusion to the series.
“I know what was on the page, and I know that when the girls and I got together for dinner and we were like, ‘Wait, what did we do and what did we do?’” she said. “And we couldn’t really remember it, which is not a good sign.”
“This is not based on anything real,” he continued. “In my opinion, we are going to do something else. I don’t think it will be a full season, but I think we will do something more.”
Davis played Charlotte York-Goldenblatt in all six seasons of HBO’s “Sex and the City” and in the two feature films.
Longtime viewers reacted with excitement when it was announced that Davis would reprise her role, alongside co-stars Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes and Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, in “And Just Like That…”, which premiered in December 2021.

The new series, however, never captured the zeitgeist like “Sex and the City” and received mixed and negative reviews during its three seasons. Critics and viewers alike were unimpressed with “Party of One,” particularly for its inclusion of a decidedly unglamorous plot involving literal poop.
Still, interest in the franchise remains strong, as evidenced by fan reaction earlier this month when actor Chris Noth, who played Carrie’s on-again, off-again love interest Mr. Big, appeared to make a shady comment about Parker on Instagram. He later clarified that his comment was intended to be “sarcastic.”
However, as Davis noted, the rights to “Sex and the City” are currently in limbo, presumably amid Netflix’s plan to acquire Warner Bros., the parent company of HBO Max.
“No one knows who owns us right now, so that needs to be figured out,” he said, adding, “I feel like we’ve been working for so long, you know? Why end now?”
Cantone echoed Davis’ sentiments.
“I know we’re an expensive show, but we’re worth it,” he said. “It’s beautifully shot, it’s like a movie. I mean, it’s like there’s no CGI or anything. It’s all New York. It’s studio sets or the beautiful New York City locations, so it’s exciting.”
