The planned SEX AND THE CITY TV series is a go over at the CW network in the US. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news, adding that Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (GOSSIP GIRL) are producing the show, with Amy B. Harris, a key writer on the original HBO series is adapting Candace Bushell’s book ‘The Carrie Diaries’ for the small screen.
The first book in Bushnell’s origin story was published last year and, like ”Sex and the City”, is told from Carrie’s point of view. It follows the aspiring writer through her relationship with Sebastian Kydd and rivalry with popular girl Donna LaDonna.
The second novel in the series, Summer and the City: A Carrie Diaries Book, was published in April and revolves around Carrie’s first trip to New York.
Michael Patrick King, the creator of the HBO show and the two movies that followed, will have no part in the making of the show.
“My Carrie Bradshaw started at 33, and I took her to 43. I didn’t even want to know who Carrie Bradshaw’s parents were because I thought she only existed in Manhattan,” he said. “So for me, the idea of going backwards and making her less evolved … is something that I don’t imagine doing.”
