Mr. Big Is Back — Chris Noth Confirmed To Appear in 'Sex and the City' Reboot

Chris Noth will reprise his role as Mr. Big in HBO Max's Sex and the City reboot. The announcement of his return follows previous reports that the actor would sit out of the series, leading fans to wonder how his absence would be explained.

Titled And Just Like That..., the reboot will also see Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte) return as three-fourths of the beloved New York friend group. (Kim Cattrall's Samatha will be noticeably absent.) An official logline for the show reveals that the ten-episode series will follow the women "as they navigate the journey from the complicated reality of life and friendship in their 30s to the even more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s."

Of course, it's not yet clear how Mr. Big will play into the reboot's plot. The character, who struggles to commit to Carrie through all six seasons of Sex and the City, plus its two spin-off movies, is hotly debated among fans (is he a fuckboy or is he lovably confused?). After fleeing his wedding to Carrie in the first Sex and the City movie, Mr. Big finally ties the knot with our heroine. In Sex and the City 2, the couple once again face turmoil, but end up reconciling.

And Just Like That... begins production in New York this summer.
