CW will reportedly be home to “The Carrie Diaries,” a prequel to “Sex and the City,” the wildly popular HBO television series that inspired two major motion pictures.
“The Carrie Diaries” follows the high school life of Carrie Bradshaw before she becomes an iconic, confident New York City sex columnist, is the first of two prequel books. Earlier this year, “Sex and the City’ author Candace Bushnell released the second book in the prequel saga, “Summer and the City,” which takes readers through the months before Bradshaw is supposed to start college.
“Gossip Girl” producer Josh Schwartz is lined up to produce “The Carrie Diaries” and former “Sex and the City” co-producer/writer Amy B. Harris is scheduled to adapt the series.
“Sex and the City” producer Michael Patrick King said last month that he was “not working on any Sex and the City prequel” and that he had no desire to see the show focus on a younger, more naive version of Bradshaw.
