We couldn’t help but wonder … Chris Noth, 66, will be officially reprise his famous role as Mr. Big in the new Sex and the City reboot titled And Just Like That, HBO Max confirmed on Wednesday

‘I’m thrilled to be working with Chris again on And Just Like That…,’ executive producer Michael Patrick King in a statement. ‘How could we ever do a new chapter of the Sex And The City story without our Mr. Big?’

Noth played Carrie Bradshaw’s main on-again-off-again-on-again love interest, Mr. Big throughout the series. As of the second film sequel, the pair were still married.

Earlier this week, DailyMail.com revealed that in addition to Big, John Corbett will reprise his role of Aiden (the one that got away for Carrie) and Cynthia Nixon’s character of Miranda will be joined by her on-screen husband Steve – played by David Eigenberg.

‘Viewers will definitely see Big, Aiden and Steve,’ a senior production source said.

The source also revealed that famed costume designer Patricia Field – responsible for Sarah Jessica Parker’s iconic wardrobe – will not be returning to the reboot.

‘Patricia Field is not coming back – she is focusing on Emily in Paris,’ the source said. ‘This is a first for the show as the clothes for the sixth season and two movies were all styled by Patricia.’

The reboot will follow three of the original stars, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) as they navigate life in the Big Apple in their 50s.

Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones, is not returning to the franchise for the limited series reboot.

According to a production source, Samantha Jones will be written out of the Sex and the City reboot in the same way that her real-life friendship with Sarah Jessica Parker ended.

The source said Samantha will be written off as ‘having had her friendship move in a different direction to the other three women.’

HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys told TVLine of the new changes,’ ‘[EP Sarah Jessica Parker and King] are trying to tell an honest story about being a woman in her 50s in New York.’

Bloys also explained the absence of Cattrall, though it is understood that she won’t be ‘killed off’ in the new series.

Grey’s Anatomy star Sara Ramirez will join the Cosmo-drinking trio for the reboot playing non-binary character Che Diaz.

‘Che is a big presence with a big heart whose outrageous sense of humor and progressive, human overview of gender roles has made them and their podcast very popular,’ HBO Max added in a statement.

The casting news comes after it was reported that the reboot will feature at least three new black characters and a number of non-white writers working on the script in a call for more diversity on the HBO Max project.

‘Everyone at ‘And Just Like That’ is beyond thrilled that a dynamically talented actor such as Sara Ramirez has joined the Sex and the City family,’ executive producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement.
