And just like that… Mr. Big is back, baby!
In news that should come as no surprise,Chris Nothhas officially agreed to reprise his iconic role in HBO Max’s newSex and the CityseriesAnd Just Like That…, which will soon begin filming in New York.
This new chapter of the groundbreaking HBO show follows Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) as they navigate the complicated journey from their 30s to their 50s. Joining the trio isSara Ramírez, who will play a new character named Che Diaz, a non-binary, queer stand-up comedian who hosts a podcast on which Carrie is regularly featured.
The three leads are executive producing the 10-episode, half-hour series withMichael Patrick King, as well asJohn Melfi,Julie RottenbergandElisa Zuritsky. King, Rottenberg and Zuritsky also serve as writers alongsideSamantha Irby,Rachna FruchbomandKeli Goff. The original HBO seriesSex and the Citywas created byDarren Starand based on the book of the same name byCandace Bushnell.

“I’m thrilled to be working with Chris again onAnd Just Like That…How could we ever do a new chapter of the Sex and the Citystory without our Mr. Big," King pondered in a statement.
As a huge fan ofSex and the Citywho has seen every episode, I’m looking forward to this follow-up series, even though the show simply won’t be the same withoutKim Cattrall’s Samantha. Even so, I’m thrilled that Mr. Big will be back, as I’ve always enjoyed his romantic rapport with Carrie despite their rollercoaster relationship.
Noth has come to be defined by his role as Mr. Big but I was a big fan of him on the originalLaw & Orderand he was really good inManhunt: Unabomber, too. I haven’t caught him onThe Equalizeryet but I’m sure he holds his own alongsideQueen Latifah– who, by the way, would make a fun addition to theSATCuniverse herself. Just sayin'…
