Edited by

- The CW has greenlit a pilot for The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to Sex and the City based on Candice Bushnell‘s book of the same name. The series will chronicle young Carrie Bradshaw‘s senior year in high school as she takes her first stilettoed steps through New York in the early 80s. Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to the young Samantha Jones storyline where she’s blowing rails and everything/one else at 54. [The Hollywood Reporter]
