Chris Noth recently tackled rumors regarding his potential absence from the upcoming Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That, set to premiere on HBO later this year. As fans mourned the departure of Kim Cattrall’s character, Samantha, whispers began circulating about other key characters not returning. Reports from Page Six suggested that Noth’s beloved role as John James “Mr. Big” Preston, alongside David Eigenberg’s Steve Brady, might be cut from the new series.
While some fans expressed their disappointment on social media, one commenter implored Noth to “reconsider” his decision to not return, expressing a desire to avoid making fans “sad.” In a playful response, Noth quipped, “Well, if Page Six says it … it must be true 😉.” He added to another fan, “Everything changes — including announcements in the rags.”
The original Sex and the City aired from 1998 to 2004, followed by two successful films featuring the original cast: Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes), and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York). Noth and Eigenberg were also part of the original series and the films, contributing to the show’s iconic status among women globally.
In January, Parker, Nixon, and Davis announced the revival via Instagram, with Parker hinting, “I couldn’t help but wonder … where are they now?” Fans eagerly anticipate fashion trends inspired by the show. When asked if Mr. Big would make a comeback, Parker teased, “Wait and see.”
Previously, Noth expressed his lack of interest in reprising his role, stating in 2017, “I feel like we told that story. I don’t think there’s anything left for me to say about that. I want to tell other stories.” Meanwhile, the late Lynn Cohen, who portrayed Magda, Samantha’s housekeeper, passed away on Valentine’s Day last year, leaving questions about her character’s future in the reboot.
As for Cattrall, her silence on the reboot has led some to speculate if her absence is a strategic negotiation. Fans continue to debate whether the show will resonate without Sam, Steve, and Big.
