A prequel TV series for Sex and the City, which follows Carrie Bradshaw’s teenage years and her early days as a writer, has been given the go ahead in US. It is based on ‘Sex and the City’ author Candace Bushnell’s novel The Carrie Diaries, set in New York.

TV network, CW, has confirmed it will pilot the new programme and the show will focus on Sarah Jessica Parker’s character and her life before she met her friends. The character’s high school life in Manhattan will see her asking questions about love, sex, friendship and family, the BBC reported.

Casting for the series has yet to be confirmed. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Blake Lively, from ‘Gossip Girl’, and Miley Cyrus are in the running to play a young Carrie Bradshaw.

The CW prequel is being written by Amy Harris, who worked on HBO’s original.

The film Sex and the City, starring all the original characters, won many awards in 2008. The 2010 sequel, which was panned by critics, went on to make 288 million dollars at the global box office. (Source)

The rumored Sex and the City prequel is a go at the CW. After hearing the pitch Friday, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the young-skewing network is moving forward with the project based on The Carrie Diaries, the book series written by Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell that follows Carrie Bradshaw during her senior year of high school in the early 1980s.

The project hails from Warner Bros. Television and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire, with former Sex and the City scribe/co-producer Amy B. Harris attached to adapt and serve as showrunner. Fake Empire’s Len Goldstein also is attached as an executive producer.
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. Both books have been big sellers, with Bushnell signing on this summer to pen two additional young adult novels.
Bushnell would likely carry an executive producer credit on the project.

HBO owns the rights to the series, with corporate cousin the CW hearing the pitch Friday and commiting to the project immediately afterward. If it goes to series, the project would fit into a CW lineup that already includes such young- and female-skewing fare as The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl and 90210.

Michael Patrick King, who produced the long-running HBO comedy, told reporters last month that he was “not working on any Sex and the City prequel” and that he wasn’t interested in seeing the franchise move in that direction.

“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 at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills. So for me, the idea of going backwards and making her less evolved … is something that I don’t imagine doing,” he added.
