It’s official, Chris Noth will be reprising his role as Mr. Big in HBO’s upcoming “Sex And The City” reboot, “And Just Like That…”.
Deadline confirmed the news on Wednesday, revealing that while there were reports of the actor planning to not return for the sequel series, Noth’s role had actually been in talks for a return for a while now.
Executive producer Michael Patrick King told the outlet, “I’m thrilled to be working with Chris again on ‘And Just Like That…’. How could we ever do a new chapter of the ‘Sex And The City’ story without our Mr. Big?”

Noth’s character Mr. Big was a staple across all six “Sex And The City” seasons and two feature films as Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) on-again-off-again love interest and eventual husband.
Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis are also confirmed to reprise their iconic roles as Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbs and Charlotte York, respectively. John Corbett is also in talks to return to his role as Aidan Shaw, but nothing has been confirmed by HBO yet.
