But don't just take King's word for it - the cast members themselves are reeling from the news! Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Nicole Ari Parker took to social media to express their shock and sadness at the decision.
'Profoundly Sad'
Kristin Davis, 60, was among the first to respond, sharing King's announcement on her Instagram page. "I am profoundly sad," she wrote. "I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love." Davis also thanked fans for their loyalty, saying, "You hold me up and I do not take it for granted!!!"
'Wild Beautiful Ride'
Cynthia Nixon, 59, shared a heart-wrenching carousel of photos from the show as she reflected on the news. "I can’t believe our wild beautiful And Just Like That ride is almost over," she wrote. "It has been such a delight from start to finish." Nixon continued, "I will miss working with these people every day SO incredibly much but know we will always be a part of each other’s lives."
'Get Ready for the Finale'
But don't worry, fans! Cynthia Nixon hinted that the final episodes would be packed with surprises. "Don’t miss these last few episodes: surprises in store!" she teased.
Nicole Ari Parker's Tribute

Sidebars, Laughter, and Shenanigans
In a heartfelt message to her "TV hubs" (co-star Christopher Jackson), Parker gushed about the epic times they shared on set. "You are Masterclass in talent, work ethic, and generosity of spirit," she wrote. "Hope we can cut up again one day soon."
King's Decision
So, why did King decide to end the show? In a statement, he explained that while writing the final episode of season 3, it became clear to him that this might be a great place to stop. He discussed the idea with Parker and other executives, and they decided to end the popular series this year with a two-part finale.
A Bittersweet Goodbye
