CW greenlights Sex and the City prequel: 'The Carrie Diaries'

Yes! I have something new to watch on the CW!

THR reports that the Sex and the City prequel is a go on the CW.

'The Carrie Diaries' follow Carrie Bradshaw during her senior year of high school in the early 1980s.

No word yet on when the show will premiere.

From THR:

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.

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.
