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.

Parade has an extensive interview with actress Sarah Jessica Parker and of course, the topic of a third Sex and the City film. Take a below at what Sarah Jessica had to say:

On any chance for a third Sex and the City movie:
“There is. I know what the story is. It’s a small story, but I think it should be told. The question is, what’s the right time to tell it?”

Fans of the popular franchise Sex and the City could get a taste of a 20-something-year-old Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda in the film’s rumored prequel, based on the beloved friends’ early years in New York City.

According to Daily Mail, the top choices for the cast are as follows: Blake Lively as Samantha Jones, Selena Gomez for the part of Charlotte York, Emma Roberts as Miranda Hobbs and newcomer Elizabeth Olsen to portray Carrie Bradshaw. Olsen, 22, is the younger sister of billionaire twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen.

Although it sounds like a perfect match, reps for all four actresses tell “Extra” it’s not true.

The prequel would be based on creator Candice Bushnell’s two novels, The Carrie Diaries, and Summer and the City. Although Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis have both publicly stated they were not keen on a “SATC” prequel, Bushnell insists the prequel lays the foundation for what each character will become. In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, Bushnell said, “Every character has a back-story — what the reader sees, in a sense, is the tip of the iceberg.

“The characters don’t exist in a vacuum — when we first meet them… in their thirties and single in New York — they are, in a sense, in the middle of their stories, which is what makes the Carrie Diaries series so satisfying.”

Parker felt the film shouldn’t be based on the same characters, telling the L.A. Times, “I don’t think we can pretend to go back. It’s creating two histories. It’s like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know that about Carrie Bradshaw.’”

Selena Gomez has said that she was flattered by the suggestion she would be the perfect person to play a young Charlotte York in Sex and the City. Writer Candace Bushnell made the comment in a recent interview, saying that Gomez would be her pick for a young version of the role made famous on screen by Kristin Davis.

Gomez told Digital Spy: “That was a compliment and I was very surprised when I heard that – it was very sweet, but there is nothing official and I’ve never even been approached or anything.”

As for whether she is a fan of the HBO series and spinoff movies, the 18-year-old said: “My mom is more of a fan because I wasn’t really allowed to watch it when I was younger but I definitely love the series.”

Sex and the City wrapped after six seasons on HBO in 2004. It has since spawned two big screen movies, Sex and the City and Sex and the City 2.

Plans for the continuance of the franchise, which starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis have yet to be confirmed, although Bushnell told the Daily Caller that she expects there to be a future for the characters: “Definitely something on the screen. Big or small screen.” (Source)

Kim Cattrall recently opened up about why she was initially reluctant to sign on to the first Sex and the City movie after the series ended, and also if she thinks Samantha Jones will be returning for a third installment.

“I don’t know if it will happen. I really, really have no idea. I love playing Samantha Jones. I would love playing Samantha Jones again, but I don’t know if I will. Originally I was asked to do the movie with no script, no start date, and a very paltry sum. I thought the three of us should fight for a piece of what we created and that was my reluctance. The four of us were not set for life. We were on cable TV and we were not making nearly what our counterparts in television were making. I thought we were working damn hard and it was the time to negotiate that.”

Cynthia Nixon isn’t as confident as others might be about more Sex and the City films. But then again, she admits she never is.

“Who knows, who knows?,” the actress tells Zap2it about again reprising her Emmy-winning portrayal of Miranda Hobbes, following Sarah Jessica Parker’s recent hint of another possible chapter. “I go about my life, and if there’s going to be another story that Michael Patrick King writes and directs, that’ll be great. And if not, we’ve had a wonderful run.”

Indeed, having chalked up six HBO seasons and two movie spinoffs, Nixon reflects her run with the franchise has been “amazing. It’s nice that the thing you’re most famous for is something you’re so proud of. Some people can get recognized for something they might feel lukewarm about, though it’s popular. I’m proud that ‘Sex and the City’ was both wildly popular and wildly good.”

Since Sarah Jessica Parker’s pop-culture legacy is so tied to her portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City and its two movies, MTV New scaught up with Parker at the Cannes Film Festival and asked her to comment on the rumors about a “SATC” prequel, as well as her thoughts on returning to the famed role of Ms. Bradshaw one more time.

“I think it always comes down to story and what is the story people want to tell,” Bradshaw said of the rumored adaptations of “The Carrie Diaries.” “Obviously, I feel proprietary in the best possible way about that entire franchise as it were, but I think there are lots of talented storytellers and obviously lots of talented actors who might be a part of it. I think, like anything, you base your opinion on material and content, and I think that would be the only way for any of us to have an opinion.”

Regarding a future “SATC” installment, be it on the big screen or small, Parker revealed that there might be another tale to tell.

“I think there is perhaps one more small, important story to tell,” she said. “Whether or not we choose to do that and when we choose to do that remains, obviously, the unknown, but it’s nice to ponder.”

One more story, huh? We mentioned that it sounded like Parker has that specific story in her head.

“I don’t, but somebody else does,” she said with a knowing smile.
