“Kristin Davis Stuns Fans With Candid Confession: ‘And Just Like That’ Cast Had No Idea the Show Was Ending — Actress Admits She Assumed the Hit Series Would Keep Going”
Fans of And Just Like That — the much-debated sequel to Sex and the City — were caught off guard when news broke that the series would not be continuing. But no one was more surprised than the cast themselves. Kristin Davis, who has played the beloved Charlotte York Goldenblatt for over two decades, revealed in a new interview that the cast was completely blindsided by the show’s abrupt ending.
“I honestly thought we would keep going,” Davis admitted, her voice tinged with disbelief. “I assumed there would be another season. None of us had any idea that the show was about to wrap up.”
A Cast Left in the Dark
According to Davis, the announcement didn’t come with months of preparation or careful discussions. Instead, it seems the stars — including Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Davis herself — learned the fate of the show almost at the same time as the public.
“It wasn’t like someone sat us down and explained. It just… ended,” she explained. “We had conversations about where things might go, about future storylines. So when the news came, it felt very sudden.”
Her words echo the shock felt by fans, many of whom believed the Max series (formerly HBO Max) was setting up for at least one more season to resolve its dangling storylines.
Why the Surprise Hits So Hard
Part of what makes Davis’s revelation so surprising is that And Just Like That had built steady momentum. Season 2 brought back fan favorite Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) and finally gave closure to some of Carrie’s lingering grief over Mr. Big’s death. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s storylines as a working mom juggling independence with family life resonated deeply with viewers.
“It really felt like we were finding our rhythm again,” Davis said. “Charlotte had this new energy, Carrie was moving forward, Miranda was rediscovering herself — it seemed like we had so much left to tell.”
Fan Reaction: Disappointment and Debate
The revelation immediately reignited debate online. Some fans felt the show had run its course, while others were frustrated that so many threads would remain unresolved.
On Instagram, one user commented: “So many cliffhangers! How can they just end it here?” Another added: “If the cast didn’t even know, that says everything about how badly this was handled.”
The Legacy of Charlotte York
For Davis, the abrupt ending is bittersweet. She has played Charlotte through every stage of life — from single New Yorker searching for love to devoted mother and wife — and admits it’s hard to say goodbye without warning.
“Charlotte is a part of me,” she said. “She’s been with me through my 30s, 40s, and now 50s. It’s hard to imagine not stepping into her shoes again.”
The Bottom Line
With Kristin Davis confirming that even the cast was left in the dark, the end of And Just Like That feels more like an unexpected curtain drop than a carefully written finale.
For fans who assumed the show would continue — and for the actors who felt the same — the sudden stop is a reminder of just how unpredictable the television world can be.
Whether Charlotte York’s story is truly over or whether a spin-off or reunion might someday fill in the gaps, one thing is clear: Kristin Davis, much like the fans, wasn’t ready to say goodbye.
