‘Sex and the City’ Follow Up Series is in the Works
Don’t call it a sequel, call it a follow up to one of the most groundbreaking TV shows ever, Sex and the City.
According to Variety, the series draws from Candance Bushnell’s latest book, Is There Still Sex in the City?, which Paramount TV (think Younger) just acquired the rights to.
Bushnell is the woman behind the original SATC book.
Though the book will be released on August 6th, the series is already in the works with a focus on love, dating, friendship and sex — so everything SATC focused on — for women over fifty in New York City.
“It didn’t used to be this way. At one time, fifty something meant the beginning of retirement—working less, spending more time on your hobbies, with your friends, who like you were sliding into a more leisurely lifestyle,” Bushnell said in a statement. “In short, retirement age folks weren’t meant to do much of anything but get older and a bit heavier. They weren’t expected to exercise, start new business ventures, move to a different state, have casual sex with strangers, and start all over again. But this is exactly what the lives of a lot of fifty- and sixty something women look like today and I’m thrilled to be reflecting the rich, complexity of their reality on the page and now on the screen.”
Given that the series isn’t being labeled a sequel, we don’t expect to see original foursome. Chances begin to look even slimmer when you think about all the off-screen drama being reported to the media as of late.
Though we’re 100% open to guest-stars.
“The original Sex And The City book and series served as a groundbreaking touchstone for an entire generation of women, myself included,” said Nicole Clemens, President of Paramount Television. “We’re thrilled to be able to continue that conversation from the underrepresented point of view of women in their 50s and answer the question with, ‘Yes! There is more sex in the city!’”
Bushnell is attached to the pilot and will also serve as an executive producer.
Raise a glass to the final season of The Bold Type.
Freeform unleashed a trailer for the final 6 episodes of the fashion-focused drama and things are heating up between old flames, while new ones are also on the horizon.
Kat is still trying to get over her problematic hook-up with Ava, while her ex, Adeena, is back in her life.
After a disagreement about children, Sutton and Richard ended their brief marriage. But it seems that all is not lost as the teaser shows them having trouble letting go (and still hooking up).
I have faith that Sutton and Richard will figure it out because they’ve always been #relationshipgoals.
Jane’s continuing to find her voice and is possibly, definitely developing feelings for a writer that’s “under her.”

A new promo for the upcoming Stranger Things Season 4 is putting the focus back on Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown).
Netflix released a new video, which dives into Eleven’s dark and heartbreaking past.
It also marks the return of her “papa,” Dr. Martin Brenner.
The craziest part is that it seems like Eleven isn’t the only supernatural child in Hawkins. Do they have the same powers as she does?
Or is this exploring her origin story? A shot of the door marked “11” indicates that this may be a look into the past.
Watch the teaser now:
As fans patiently wait for new episodes — which were delayed due to COVID — a former teaser revealed that Hopper is alive and a prisoner in Russia.
How do these two things connect?
