Is There Still Sex in the City? You Tell Us!
By Spencer Coile
Just when you thought the Kim Cattrall v. Sarah Jessica Parker feud would result in a discontinuing of the Sex and the City cinematic universe, Paramount Television and Anonymous Content swooped in to acquire the rights to Candace Bushnell’s Is There Still Sex in the City? A follow-up to her previous 1996 book, Bushnell – who will write the pilot and serve as executive producer – asks a new age question: how sexual can women in their 50’s and 60’s be? She adds:
I’m thrilled to be reflecting the rich complexity of their reality on the page and now on the screen.
Is There Still Sex in the City is set to premiere on August 6, 2019. And because we won’t be seeing the return of Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda, I couldn’t help but wonder: will this reincarnation into the Sex and the City-verse be as successful as its predecessor?

How sexual can women be in the their 50s and 60s? Uh...The Golden Girls already answered this for us 30 years ago.
I really loved Sex and the City back in the day. It was groundbreaking and before the advent of Tina Fey, Lena Dunham, and others, was one of the few programs that was witty, and truthful about a woman's experience.
I'm not sure Bushnell can pull it off again, but I hope she can. Let's all wish her good luck.
Let's see... NO!!! After the horror that was that horrendous 2nd film. Why would I want it to return?
I'll have cautious optimism, but they better get that casting down just right.
This will be interesting from a marketing perspective. I wonder whether younger females who made up a large portion of the SATC audience will be as willing to watch this if it’s about women they might consider to be their mothers... I could see it failing whether or not it’s good.
On the other hand, maybe this will be like a better version of Book Club.
