Sara’s exit has been somewhat shrouded in mystery, with neither US broadcaster HBO nor the actor themself addressing it directly since it was first reported earlier this year.

“I think they felt, and Michael Patrick [King, And Just Like That’s executive producer] felt, that that character had run its course. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.”
She also pointed out that she and Sara are still close, and text one another “frequently”.
