Sarah Jessica Parker has suggested that she could play her Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw again.

The 60-year-old actress seemingly said farewell to her alter ego when the sequel series And Just Like That... came to an end after three seasons earlier this year but has now claimed that she could "just be on hiatus".

Asked about the decision to bring the series to a conclusion, Sarah told CBS Mornings: "I mean, I'm not certain I understand what that decision means, actually.

"Because I could just be on hiatus, you know."

Sarah did not expand on what she meant with the "hiatus" suggestion but described the "difficult decision" she and showrunner Michael Patrick King made to finish And Just Like That... .

The Mars Attacks! star said: "Michael and I talked a lot about it, and I think it's out of respect for this really singular professional experience that you have to consider what you want to do (and) have you done it.

"And sometimes it's best to gracefully walk away when things feel really right and energetic, versus squeezing and exploiting people's generosity and hospitality."

Sarah is not alone in suggesting that Carrie Bradshaw could return to screens as And Just Like That... executive producer Elisa Zuritsky previously hinted that there are more story possibilities.

She told TVLine: "She's alive, so it could happen.

"Sarah Jessica Parker is Michael Patrick King's muse, and the reason he says, 'I've said goodbye before and I've come back', is because it's true."

Zuritsky added: "I don't like to be too final about things, and life is long. I mean, we've all seen lots of things happen."

The final episode of And Just Like That... aired in August and Sarah wrote of her sadness of bidding farewell to a role that has "dominated (her) professional heartbeat" since 1998.

She penned: "Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt."
