SEX AND THE CITY: Limited TV Series possibly in works at HBO Max

Sex And The City

Sex and the City Limited Series may move forward at HBO Max

A Sex and the City reboot is on the cards at HBO Max as a limited series, according to sources.

It’s understood that the WarnerMedia-owned platform is working out deals to bring back the classic New York-set, turn of the century dramedy.  If the deals come through, it’s likely to air as a limited event on streaming platform HBO Max rather than HBO, which aired the original series.

It would mark the latest HBO series to be rebooted after it emerged earlier this month that a True Blood reboot is on the cards and the premium cable network is also bringing back In Treatment, with Orange Is The New Black star Uzo Aduba as the lead.

Sex and the City, which was created by Darren Star (also the creator of the 90’s teen soap opera hits Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210 ) based on Candace Bushnell’s book of the same name, starred Sarah Jessica Parker (Ed Wood) as Carrie Bradshaw, Cynthia Nixon (Little Manhattan) as Miranda Hobbes, Kristin Davis (Deck The Halls)  as Charlotte York and Kim Cattrall (Police Academy) as Samantha Jones. The New York Post, which broke the reboot news, reports that Parker, Davis and Nixon are interested but Cattrall — who led this year’s Fox series Filthy Rich (which was canceled after one season) is unlikely to feature.

The half-hour show ran for six seasons and 94 episodes on HBO between 1998-2004. It was followed by two feature films in 2008 and 2010, and despite the latter being almost universally panned by critics, went on to be a commercial success. A third movie was in development but never progressed beyond that. Prequel series The Carrie Diaries, based on a book of the same name (also by Bushnell) launched on The CW in 2013, with AnnaSophia Robb (Because of Winn-Dixie)  playing a young Carrie Bradshaw, and ran for two seasons.
