AJLT Producer Hints at Carrie Bradshaw’s Return, Igniting Fan Outrage

Sarah Jessica Parker could reprise her iconic role as Carrie Bradshaw yet again after the end of Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That…

The ‘woke’ show – which saw Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis reprise their SATC roles as Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York for three seasons- ended with a panned two part finale which saw the fashionista embracing being ‘on her own.’

After SJP, 60, gave a ‘word salad’ remark about whether the show would stay off-air, executive producer Elisa Zuritsky has teased that new episodes ‘could happen’ with baffled fans bagging creators to let ‘AJLT die.’

Zuritsky told TV Line when asked about a possible Carrie return: ‘She’s alive so it could happen.’ 

‘Sarah Jessica Parker is [showrunner] Michael Patrick King’s muse and the reason he says “I’ve said goodbye before and I’ve come back” is because it’s true.

‘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.’

She added she keeps notes on potential future storylines for Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte.

‘And maybe one day we’ll get to see that list come to life on our TV screens again.’ she said.

Fans were left both bemused and outraged by the comments, with one writing: ‘For the love of God! LET. IT. DIE.’

Others wrote: ‘Just quit while you’re ahead.

‘Time to let go of a bad story. I left after the third episode. The public lets Hollywood know when it is finished.

‘Let it go.’

‘Why? Didn’t they lose enough money due to low viewing levels, already?

‘It was awful. I lost interest after the second episode.’

Others were giddy over the faint prospect of more AJLT, writing: ‘Yes. Would Love to see her & the girls story continue.   

‘I agree wholeheartedly. As a single 60 year old woman I loved being able to hang out with these women over the years and have connected since Day 1. I love their stories and miss them already!’

Fans had bashed the show and its writers, with some even alleging And Just Like That… had ‘ruined’ the once-beloved characters from the original Sex and the City and critics calling it ‘the worst show on television’.

AJLT saw Miranda cheat on husband Steve with non-binary comic Che Diaz, Carrie bizarrely claim ‘love of her life’ Mr Big was a ‘mistake’ and agreeing to take a five year break from her on-again romance with Aidan Shaw.

The show’s viewership had tumbled in its third season.

Samantha Jones actress Kim Cattrall notably did not return for the series full-time after a decade of bad blood with her castmates. 

The original show ran from 1998-2004 with two films in 2008 and 2010. 

AJLT was first announced in January 2021 – 11 years after the panned movie, Sex and the City 2.

It introduced a host of new side characters including Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker), Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury) and Dr Nya Wallace (Karen Pittman). 

The series kicked off in explosive style with Big (Chris Noth) dying of a heart attack in the first episode.

Noth was later edited out of the series after being accused of sexual abuse by four women – he denied all the allegations and has never been charged with any crime.

Miranda began cheating on Steve (David Eigenberg) – who was her true love over six seasons and two films – with Che (Sara Ramirez) before starting to exclusively date women, despite her character confirming in SATC she was ‘definitely not gay.’ 

Last year Ramirez was dropped from And Just Like That because their character Che Diaz was a ‘waste of airtime,’ according to insiders, who shut down the actor’s claim that being pro-Palestine cost them the role.

Ramirez a non-binary actor who uses they/them pronouns, implied they will not return for the third season of the Sex and the City spin-off in a series of posts.

They heavily suggested their time on the show was over as they claimed ‘casting directors and agents are making black lists of actors and workers who post anything in support of Palestinians and Gaza to ensure they will not work again.’

But a source close to the show ridiculed the suggestion, claiming Ramirez’s head had been ‘on the chopping block since last season’ because their character ‘held no value anymore’ and was ‘annoying.’

Cattrall had previously refused to ever reprise her fan-favorite role as the man-hungry publicist – having last played the character in much derided 2010 film, Sex and the City 2. 

It was claimed Cattrall had previously ‘torpedoed’ plans for a third Sex and the City film – but she later denied this. 

Cattrall shocked fans when it emerged she had filmed a secret cameo for the show’s second season, which she did without interacting with any cast member.
