‘And Just Like That’ bigwig hints panned show can return

Carrie Bradshaw may write again. 

The “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That” may have been met with swift backlash that lasted through its Aug. 14 series finale — but it might not be the end.

“Well, she’s alive, so it could happen,” executive producer Elisa Zuritsky told TV Line of Sarah Jessica Parker’s character Carrie.

Zuritsky added that Parker is creator Michael Patrick King’s “muse, and the reason he says ‘I’ve said goodbye before and I’ve come back’ is because it’s true.” 

The show debuted in 2021 and ran for three seasons.

“We serve at [King’s] pleasure,” she said, but “I am the eternal optimist. So I don’t like to be too final about things, and life is long. I mean, we’ve all seen lots of things happen.” 

Zuritsky keeps notes with ideas for more stories about Carrie (Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) on her phone and computer just in case.

“SATC” originally aired on HBO from 1999 to 2004, following Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) through their love lives in New York City. They returned for two movies in 2008 and 2010, before Parker, Nixon, and Davis returned for “And Just Like That” on HBO Max.

The spinoff show was controversial from the start, as it began by killing off Carrie’s longtime love, Big (Chris Noth), and new characters such as Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) were unpopular among fans. 

Prior to Season 3, neither King, Parker, or HBO announced that it would be the final season. 

In fact, costume designer Molly Rogers told The Post that she was never officially told “And Just Like That” was over. 

“It wasn’t like HBO sent an email saying, ‘pack your bags,’” Rogers exclusively told The Post. “I think that’s the only way these days to keep something a secret. Total blackout.”

The Emmy-winning costume designer, who also worked on “Sex and the City” and the “SATC” movies, had an inkling that Carrie’s story was complete when she read the script for the final episode. 

“I read it and I started thinking,’ oh yeah.’ There were a lot of little underlying – I feel like – subliminal messages. No one said it [was the end], but in my mind, I always imagined that Carrie would be happily by herself the last time we saw her.” 

King and Parker both shared the news that “AJLT” was ending on social media on Aug. 1, just two weeks before the series finale aired. 

The show ended with Carrie alone in her apartment, apparently at peace with being single.
