Overview

• Showrunner Michael Patrick King confirmed in early August that the sequel will conclude after three seasons, with the final episode airing at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max tonight
• The series reunited original leads Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, while Samantha Jones remains off-screen following Kim Cattrall’s decision not to return
• Critics and viewers remain sharply divided, with some labeling it a “hate watch” and others praising its unconventional, sensory-driven storytelling
• Reviewers widely faulted the show’s uneven plotting and underuse of key Season 3 arcs—such as Charlotte’s husband’s prostate cancer storyline—to deepen its portrayal of aging and intimacy
• Sarah Jessica Parker has made clear she does not monitor social media feedback on the series, opting to keep creative focus off audience reactions
