The streaming service HBO Max has just announced this "Big" news.

"How could we ever do a new chapter of the 'Sex and the City' story without our Mr. Big?" said producer Michael Patrick King.

Fans were ecstatic at the announcement that there would be a remake of the cult series, to be titled And Just Like That.

Initially, it was believed that Chris Noth (66) would be missing.

Sarah Jessica Parker (56), Kristin Davis (56), and Cynthia Nixon (55) will reprise their roles as Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York, and Miranda Hobbes.

One small drawback is that Kim Cattrall (64), a.k.a. Samantha Jones, will not be joining the original group for the reboot.

In Sex and the City, actors Sarah Jessica Parker (56, from l. to r.), Kristin Davis (56), Kim Cattrall (64), and Cynthia Nixon (55) were best friends, but Cattrall will no longer star in the remake.
