Will Steve be in the new Sex and the City?
Yes! DavidEigenberg is indeed set to reprise his role as Miranda’s aw-shucks hubby Steve Brady. Back in March, Eigenberg himself told Parade.com that he wasn’t sure whether he’d be asked to return—and that his starring role on Chicago Fire, which shoots in the Windy City, could make scheduling challenging. “Obviously, my heart and soul lie here at Chicago Fire, but we’re seeing what happens,” he told us during a Chicago Fire junket. “We’ve had some discussions and it looks like our hiatus could line up with their start, but they have to fully understand that this show comes first.” He continued, “So I would say that there’s a good possibility I may reunite with my wonderful colleagues there in New York City on Sex and the City.”
Will Harry Goldenblatt be in the new Sex and the City?
Another yes! EvanHandler, who plays Charlotte York-Goldenblatt’s other half, is also slated to return.

Will Aidan be in Sex and the City’s And Just Like That?
