Sarah Jessica Parker is saying goodbye to the forever iconic Carrie Bradshaw.
Shortly after "And Just Like That..." executive producer Michael Patrick King announced on Friday, Aug. 1, that the "Sex and the City" spinoff is coming to an end with Season 3, Parker addressed the news in a long, sentimental letter mourning what could be the final chapter in the New York City writer's story.
In a video slideshow narrated by Parker, she celebrated Carrie's infamous love of heels, her faults and accomplishments, her storied romances and a fictional life that has been so closely tied to the actress for nearly 30 years.
"She Broke hearts Heels Habits. She Loved Lost Won Tripped Leaped Fell short and into puddles Aged Got wiser. She has made The hardest Worst and best decisions Traveled near and far For the new The vintage Friends and love," she wrote. "Held onto hands, hopes and the very best of people. Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends and what great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema and LTW, most divine new connections."
Parker, 60, has played Carrie since "Sex and the City" debuted in 1998, and in two feature films in addition to the spinoff.
"Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her," she continued. "The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all."
In King's announcement, he said he and the franchise's star "held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season."
