John Corbett said he will reprise his role as Carrie Bradshaw's ex-fiancé, Aidan Shaw, in HBO Max's "Sex and the City" revival, "And Just Like That..."

The 59-year-old actor broke the news during a recent interview, telling the New York Post, "I'm going to do the show."

"I like all those people, they've been very nice to me," he said, adding the announcement is "very exciting."
