Following the announcement that And Just Like That—the Sex and the City revival—has been canceled, actor Jonathan Cake humorously questioned if his character, Duncan, was to blame. The news was first shared by Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw) and creator Michael Patrick King, marking the end of the franchise’s three-decade legacy.

Cake, 57, took to Instagram with a playful post featuring a scene of Duncan in bed with Carrie. His caption read: “Wait, did I JUST KILL @justlikethatmax? Duncan finally has one night of passion with Carrie Bradshaw and the show’s over…FOREVER??? Was it his surprisingly small head? Or something else underwhelming?” He quipped, “Ah Duncan Donuts, I guess America won’t run on Duncan, but it was exquisite pleasure while it lasted.”

The British actor, who joined Season 3 as Carrie’s downstairs neighbor and fellow writer, also shared a heartfelt tribute to the cast and crew. He praised Parker, co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, and the creative team for bringing “SUCH joy for nearly thirty years,” calling their work a “higher calling” in entertainment.

From Friction to Flames
Cake’s character, Duncan, initially clashed with Carrie over noise complaints but later bonded with her over their shared writing careers. Their relationship took a romantic turn in recent episodes, leaving fans curious about how their storyline—and the series—would conclude.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s Farewell
Parker shared an emotional Instagram post celebrating Carrie Bradshaw’s journey, accompanied by a montage of series highlights. Her poetic tribute read in part: “She crossed streets, avenues, rubicons… Aged. Got wiser. She broke hearts, heels, habits… Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, but never her love for New York City.”

While fans mourn the show’s end, Cake’s lighthearted take and Parker’s reflective words highlight the blend of humor and heart that defined the franchise. The final two episodes, airing later this month, will determine whether Duncan’s brief romance seals the series’ fate—or if Carrie’s final chapter offers closure.
