The writers of "And Just Like That" (AJLT), Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky, discuss the divisive series finale. Unlike the original "Sex and the City" finale, which sparked heated debate, the AJLT ending, where Carrie ends up alone but content, was a unanimous decision among the writers. They acknowledge the intense fan reactions, attributing the anger to the characters' deep connection with viewers and the amplified emotions of social media. While surprised by the negative response, the writers stand by their choice, viewing it as a natural evolution for the characters and a reflection of modern womanhood. They emphasize that Carrie's journey is far from over, existing in the minds of viewers and potentially in future iterations.
