Kristin Davis Shocks Fans: 'No Idea' About And Just Like That's End
SCANDAL IN THE CITY: AND JUST LIKE THAT, IT'S OVER
The drama that has been unfolding behind the scenes of HBO's And Just Like That has left fans reeling in shock. The news that the show, a sequel to the iconic Sex and the City series, would be coming to an abrupt end after just three seasons was met with stunned silence from viewers everywhere.
But it seems that even the cast and crew were taken aback by the decision to axe their beloved show. In a bombshell interview with Drew Barrymore, star Kristin Davis revealed that none of them saw it coming - not even the show's creator, Michael Patrick King.
"We had no idea," Kristin confessed on her show. "We thought we were just doing three more seasons and then maybe we'd get to do some more... but I guess we won't be seeing Carrie and the girls again anytime soon."
The news that And Just Like That would be ending its run after a mixed reception from viewers has left fans wondering what went wrong behind the scenes. Insiders close to the show have revealed that HBO was struggling to keep up with the mounting costs of production, despite their efforts to see the show through to its rightful end.
"It was a ticking time bomb," one insider told The Scholarly Note.com. "HBO was happy to ride with the show for a few more years, but ultimately, they realized it was unsustainable."
The cast and crew had made a three-year commitment to each other, with Kristin, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Cynthia Nixon reprising their iconic roles as Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, and Charlotte York. But despite their dedication, it seems that the show's creators knew all along that it would be ending its run after just three seasons.
In an interview with The Scholarly Note.com earlier this year, Michael Patrick King hinted at the possibility of wrapping up the show after three seasons. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That... season three, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop," he said.
But even Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon were caught off guard by the news. In a heartfelt message on social media, Sarah Jessica wrote: "Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all."
Cynthia Nixon also took to Instagram to express her gratitude to fans for embracing their characters over the years. "I want to thank our incredible cast and crew for bringing these characters into our lives," she wrote.
But despite the outpouring of support from fans, it seems that And Just Like That's problems ran deeper than just a lack of viewership. Sources close to the show have revealed that the cast and crew were struggling with creative differences and disagreements over the direction of the show.
"It was a bit of a disaster," one insider told The Scholarly Note.com. "The writers were stuck in a rut, and it showed on screen. They tried to inject some new life into the show, but it just wasn't happening."
And Just Like That's final episode aired last month, marking the end of an era for fans of Sex and the City. While the show may be over, its legacy lives on - and we can't help but wonder what could have been if things had played out differently behind the scenes.
As for Kristin Davis and her co-stars, it seems they're moving on to new projects - but with a hint of sadness that their beloved show has come to an end. "I'm profoundly sad," Kristin wrote on Instagram earlier this year. "I love our whole beautiful cast and crew... And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever."
It's clear that the cast and crew will be missed - but as the saying goes: "And just like that..."
