Fans can look forward to four more familiar faces in the new edition of "Sex and the City": The actors Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Willie Garson and Evan Handler will be in front of the camera for the planned series "And Just Like That ..." back.

Handler is playing again as Charlotte's husband Harry Goldenblatt, Eigenberg as Miranda's partner Steve Brady, as the production company WarnerMedia announced on Wednesday.

With Cantone and Garson, Charlotte's best friend Anthony and Carrie's best friend Stanford are also there again.

In January, the streaming service HBO Max announced the new edition of the cult series (from 1998 to 2004) about New York women and their love adventures - with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis as leading actresses and executive producers on board.

Of the original female cast, only Kim Cattrall is missing in the role of the self-confident Samantha Jones.

Parker re-plays relationship columnist Carrie Bradshaw, Davis plays brunette Charlotte York, and Cynthia Nixon plays red-haired lawyer Miranda Hobbes.

With Handler and Eigenberg, all husbands of the three main characters are now also in the revival.

At the end of May it became known that Chris Noth was returning to the camera as Carrie's great love, Mr. Big.

The revival is supposed to illuminate the lives of the three friends over 50

Ten half-hour episodes are planned - with shooting starting this summer.
