The actor said the decision to conclude the popular series with a two-part finale, expanding the original 10-episode order to 12 episodes, was taken by him along with show's lead Sarah Jessica Parker and HBO executives.

"SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season. It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years." "And Just Like That…" features Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis reprising their characters from the original series, which aired from 1998-2004 on HBO.
