The reboot of Sex and the City, currently under development on HBO, Max will not have Chris Noth’s character, Mr. Big.
Insiders told Page Six that Noth, 66, will not be in the And Just Like That reboot, which will be aired on HBO Max in a series of ten episodes revisiting the hit franchise.
Noth appeared in the role, which was Carrie Bradshaw’s boyfriend and later husband, played by Sarah Jessica Parker on the show and in subsequent films.

In the series plot, Bradshaw and Mr. Big dated throughout the show, exchanging vows in the 2008 film, while dealing with marital problems in the aftermath of 2010.
Noth remains busy with other ventures, appearing on shows like The Equalizer, with two films in pre-production: Brooklyn All American and Someday Algum.
Nor will it return, according to the vehicle, David Eigenberg, who plays Steve Brady, the romantic interest of Cynthia Nixon’s character, Miranda Hobbes; and Kim Cattrall regular of the series, amid fights with Parker.
Parker earlier this month opened the genesis of the new project in a pre-recorded clip broadcast on a virtual benefit for the Central Park Conservancy’s Playground Partners program, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

She said the idea first came up during shelter applications at the site last spring, amid the outbreak of COVID-19.
‘I mean around April or May … I was listening to a podcast and it occurred to me that [showrunner] Michael Patrick King and I never talked about our experience of working and producing the show, ‘said Parker.
She added that the idea went from a procedural podcast to an extension of the popular series, this time dealing with contemporary issues brought on by the pandemic.
“New York closed in a way that also affected many other people because it is the center of finance, it is the center of culture, it could be argued, and its silence was deafening,” she said. ‘All of these conversations were becoming a big part of our experience inside our homes, Michael and I were just really interested.
‘And so he was born – And yet.’
Production of the project is expected to begin this spring.
