The TV series "And Just Like That" was canceled primarily due to financial reasons. Despite the showrunner Michael Patrick King stating that the third season was a natural ending point for the series, insiders reported that the decision was actually sudden and driven by money issues. The big three lead actors reportedly made around a million dollars per episode, which, combined with high production costs including shooting in New York City, expensive costumes, writers, and crew, inflated the budget to over $120 million for the season. Negotiations between HBO and the producers failed to reach agreement on costs and salaries, leading to the show's cancellation. Additionally, there may have been creative disagreements and behind-the-scenes conflicts contributing to the decision. The announcement caught the cast by surprise, as preparations for a fourth season had already begun.
