The universe of Sex and the City seems to have no end. Candace Bushnell, author of the book that inspired the plots of one of the most successful series in the history of television, has reached an agreement with a major American production company to launch a reality dating show that continues the story, only this time in the real world, Deadline reports.
Bunim/Murray Productions has announced that it will present a program project next month under the title Is There Still Sex in the City, a variation of the English title of the series: Sex and the city ) to chains and platforms, in search of a buyer.
The format will follow four “fabulous” friends in their 50s who are looking for love while leaving their stressful lives in New York behind. They will move to live together in a cozy castle where they will be able to choose from a different group of men in each episode. They will try younger men, more mature men, rich men, profiles fresh from their fantasies… Everything at their feet to find love or, at least, bring sex back to New York.
Candace Bushnell created Carrie Bradshaw as an alter ego of hers in a weekly column she published in the New York Observer. Her stories, which she collected in a best-selling book, inspired the plots of Sex and the City, which completed six seasons on HBO, two films and now live in a sequel And Just Like That, in full production of its third season.
“Women in their fifties and older are the hottest new dating demographic, and I’m one of them,” Bushnell tells Deadline. “I’ve dated men of all ages over the decades and am so excited to work on a show that combines my passion for relationships with the opportunity to help women like me navigate their way to love.”
