Sarah Jessica Parker Clarifies Why She Doesn’t Watch ‘And Just Like That’: ‘Because I Care’

The exception? “I saw the final episode ever because Michael had a screening of it live, as it was happening live,” she said of the SATC finale, which aired in 2004. According to Parker, it was the “only time” she was able to fully comprehend how popular the show was.

The original SATC series ran for six seasons and spawned two movies. AJLT premiered on Max in 2021 with Parker returning as Carrie, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda and Kristin Davis as Charlotte.

Parker was “really nervous” to step back into Carrie’s designer shoes. “Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve played a part. You just start constantly like, ‘Is this how I walk? Is this how I talk? Is this how she walks? Is this how she talks? Does she run this way? What feels right and correct now?’” she said on the podcast. “That’s just the way I examine everything anyway.”

The third season of AJLT debuted in May and focuses on Carrie’s long-distance romance with Aidan (John Corbett) following the death of Mr. Big (Chris Noth) in season 1.

When asked on WWHL whether she thought Carrie and Aidan are “end game,” Parker played coy. “Like, bitter enders? Together forever?” she mused on Sunday before pretending to speak into a microphone. “My lawyer has advised me not to answer that question.”

Parker revealed just as little about where Carrie might be living by the end of the season after Cohen wondered why her new home in Gramercy Park is still unfurnished. “My theory is she likes the old place better,” Cohen said, earning a shrug from Parker.

“Oh, my God, is she moving back into the old place?” Cohen asked as Parker teased, “I dunno. Maybe.”

And Just Like That airs on Max Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
