✅ Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte — The Final Chapter Without Samantha
After three seasons filled with love, loss, controversy, and couture, And Just Like That... has come to a close. As the spiritual continuation of the legendary Sex and the City, the Max original series has wrapped up its stories with poignant, sometimes divisive, but always fascinating conclusions. Here's how each key character's journey ended.
✅ Carrie Bradshaw: Alone, but Empowered
Carrie chooses solitude in the end. Living alone in the Gramercy Park apartment she once bought with Aidan, she completes her first fiction novel. Rather than feeling lost, she seems to embrace her independence, finding peace and purpose through writing.
✅ Miranda Hobbes: Love, Family, and Acceptance
Miranda finds stability in her relationship with Joy and maintains a healthy co-parenting dynamic with Steve. With her son Brady unexpectedly becoming a father, Miranda begins preparing to become a grandmother, showing personal growth and renewed familial strength.
✅ Charlotte York-Goldenblatt: The Most Consistent Ending
Charlotte returns to her roots as an art dealer while balancing her picture-perfect family life. With Harry recovering from prostate cancer, the family’s stability remains intact. Her journey ends much like it began—gracefully traditional.
✅ Samantha Jones: A Ghost in the Background
Though she made a brief phone call cameo at the end of Season 2, Samantha does not appear in Season 3. She remains in London, working in PR, maintaining only occasional text contact with Carrie. Her absence is deeply felt, yet subtly acknowledged.
✅ Mr. Big: A Departure That Shaped Everything
Mr. Big, Carrie’s late husband, dies in Season 1 from a heart attack after a Peloton ride. His death casts a long emotional shadow across the series and significantly shapes Carrie’s narrative.

After rekindling his relationship with Carrie, Aidan once again steps away. Living in Virginia with his three sons and ex-wife, he expresses lingering doubts, leading to a final farewell.
✅ Stanford Blatch: A Tribute Written in Fiction
Due to actor Willie Garson’s passing, Stanford is written off in Season 1 as having moved to Japan. He becomes a manager to a TikTok star, divorces Anthony, and ultimately becomes a Shinto monk—an odd but sentimental ending.
✅ Anthony Marentino: Sweet Rebound
Anthony finds new love in Giuseppe, a 29-year-old Italian poet, and gets engaged. He continues running his bakery, Hot Fellas, and thrives in a lively and optimistic lifestyle.
✅ Seema Patel: Building Her Own Empire
Seema opens her own real estate firm and falls in love with Adam, a quirky gardener who believes in neither marriage nor deodorant. Her path symbolizes independence over perfection.

Lisa continues her work as a documentary filmmaker while remaining grounded in family life. Her arc remains stable and elegant—a reflection of her established character.
✅ Nya Wallace: Quiet Exit
After divorcing her husband and joining the American Law Society in Season 2, Nya doesn’t return in Season 3. Her story concludes off-screen, having found her professional footing.
