Overview

  • The Sex and the City revival concluded with its Aug. 14 Season 3 finale, and showrunner Michael Patrick King has confirmed there will be no fourth season.
  • Executive producers Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky said the conclusion was the most honest way to close Carrie Bradshaw’s story.
  • They emphasized that the show’s core friendships remain central as a felt presence rather than relying on a traditional group send-off.
  • The writers noted that King set the timeline for ending the series, saying they were brought into much of the process but not all of it.
  • They acknowledged strong online criticism of the finale, with Zuritsky stepping back from the internet while pointing to positive feedback she hears in person.
