Stationary bike company Peloton, which saw its stock drop after the fictional death of a Sex and the City character using its product, has responded to the crisis with an ad featuring an alternative ending to the viral moment.
The 30-second ad is narrated by actor Ryan Reynolds and titled "Unspoiler Alert," stars actor Chris Noth, who plays the Mr. Big character on Sex and the City and its HBO Max reboot, And Just Like That. Mr. Big was depicted in the first episode of the reboot dying of a heart attack shortly after riding his Peloton hosted by Allegra, who is played by Peloton instructor Jess King.

"And just like that… the world is reminded that regular cycling stimulates and improves your heart, lungs and circulation, reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases. Cycling strengthens your heart muscles, resting pulse and reduces blood-fat levels," Reynolds says in the spot before ending with another nod to the episode. "He’s alive."
Peloton's stock is down about 75% from this time last year, with shares hitting a yearly low of $37.67 on Friday.
