Whether you loved it, hated it, or loved to hate it, the much-discussed Sex and the City spin off And Just Like That is over…and for good, it seems.
Creator Michael Patrick King explained that it became clear to him “that this might be a wonderful place to stop” while he was writing the season 3 finale, while Carrie Bradshaw herself Sarah Jessica Parker posted a lengthy statement describing her character as having “dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years” but “this chapter [is] complete.”
As we bid goodbye to Bradshaw and co, we’ve pulled together 10 shows like And Just Like That we feel will come the closes to filling that SATC-shaped hole in your life.
Too Much
Ana Blumenkron/Netflix
Lena Dunham’s new Netflix rom-com may scratch the SATC itch in terms of the messy reality of navigating city life, dating, and sex. It follows the story of workaholic New Yorker Jess (Megan Stalter), who moves to London for a fresh start after a painful break-up and meets dysfunctional indie guy Felix (Will Sharpe). It’s got an unreal soundtrack and hits the nail on the head when it comes to the trials and tribulations of dating right now.
Ginny and Georgia
Netflix
The story of mother and daughter duo Ginny and Georgia sees them arrive in a picturesque New England town, yearning to put down some roots after years on the run. Expect family drama, interesting mother-daughter dynamics, and many, many twists and turns.
Girls

Dunham’s first TV masterpiece followed the ultimately messier stories of single girls in New York and felt like a comparison to the Sex and the City generation before them. There’s a lot of shared DNA here—protagonist Hannah (played by Dunham) is also a writer, and her friendship group are also navigating life in your late 20s and 30s, for example.
The Bold Type

Looking for another painfully unrealistic portrayal of life in New York as a journalist? Look no further than the glossy world of The Bold Type. Meghann Fahy, Aisha Dee, and Katie Stephens star as inseparable best friends Sutton, Kat, and Jane as they explore the world of modern media and the trials and tribulations that come with love and career dramas.
Everything I Know About Love
Matthew Squire/BBC
The TV adaptation of Dolly Alderton’s meteorically successful, bestselling memoir is a doozy. It follows a group of 20-something women building a life in 2012 London, complete with a dodgy houseshare and questionable love life choices.
Starstruck
Shamil Tanna/BBC
Comedian and writer Rose Matafeo wrote and starred in this hilarious London-based series, where she plays lost millennial Jessie, who is juggling multiple jobs to get by in the city. Her life takes a dramatic, interesting turn when she sleeps with, and becomes romantically involved with, a movie star.
Smothered
Sky UK
Starring Danielle Vitalis and Jon Pointing, Smothered sees Sammy (Vitalis) agree to three weeks of “no strings” fun with Tom (Pointing), who she meets by chance in a karaoke bar while she’s suffering from a severe case of dating fatigue.
Love Life

Love Life consists of two seasons, the first led by Anna Kendrick, the second by William Jackson Harper, jumping between the timeline of their dating lives in New York City. It looks at a different relationship of the protagonist’s each episode, reflecting on how it made them who they are and leading them to their ultimate love.
Divorce

If you’re missing a bit of SJP, specifically, try Divorce on for size. Created by Bad Sisters and Catastrophe genius Sharon Horgan, it tells the story of a New York-based middle-aged couple’s decision to separate and the tragically comic situations that follow.
The Sex Lives of College Girls
ITV
Mindy Kaling’s comedy drama TV series follows the sexual adventures and explorations of a group of university students and stars Renée Rapp, Amrit Kaur, and Pauline Chalamet.
A version of this story was previously published on Glamour UK.
