HBO Max’s \u201cSex and the City\u201d revival series, \u201cAnd Just Like That,\u201d famously divided fans by killing off a beloved character in its premiere episode. The show’s second season, however, could mark the return of another. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Deadline reported Friday that John Corbett will reprise his role as Aidan Shaw for Season 2. Though details on the extent of Corbett’s involvement are scarce, the entertainment news outlet reported that the actor is \u201cset for a substantial, multi-episode arc\u201d on the show. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When contacted by HuffPost, representatives of Corbett and HBO declined to comment on the report. A Season 2 premiere date was not announced. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Corbett, last seen on the ABC legal drama \u201cRebel,\u201d portrayed Aidan Shaw on HBO’s \u201cSex and the City\u201d from 2000 to 2003. The designer of rustic furniture became the on-and-off boyfriend and later the fianc\u00e9 of Carrie Bradshaw ( Sarah Jessica Parker). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Aidan also appeared in the movie \u201cSex and the City 2,\u201d after running into Carrie at a market in Abu Dhabi. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rumors about whether Corbett would appear in \u201cAnd Just Like That\u201d have swirled since the revival was announced in early 2021. In April, the actor told New York Post’s Page Six that he was \u201cgoing to do the show,\u201d adding, \u201cI like all those people, they’ve been very nice to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

HBO never confirmed the actor’s involvement, and when \u201cAnd Just Like That\u201d premiered in December, Aidan was nowhere to be found. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking to Deadline in February, executive producer Michael Patrick King said Aidan’s return was \u201ca big storyline that everybody at home wrote that we had never intended.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Writer Julie Rottenberg echoed those sentiments, though neither she nor King appeared willing to rule out Aidan returning to the franchise entirely. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cJohn Corbett should be writing personal apology notes,\u201d she said. \u201cWe didn’t say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Corbett, meanwhile, will soon reprise another of his beloved characters. He recently completed work on the third \u201cMy Big Fat Greek Wedding\u201d movie, in which he plays Ian, the husband of Nia Vardalos’ character, Toula. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
