Have you read the novel 'One Fifth Avenue' by Candace Bushenll? Well if not don't panic because you will soon be seeing the story unfold on your tv screens. The novel follows Cassie Bingham, who after her husbands decides he does not want to be with her anymore, moves back to her old apartment to reasses her life.
According to The Hollywood Reporter 'One Fifth Avenue' will be made into a tv series after being snapped up by the network ABC. It has also been reported that Josh Safran, who executive produces Gossip Girl will be on board to pen the seies along with Grey's Anatmony Producer Mark Gordon.
This is all exciting news, but the project is still very young so don't be expecting to see 'One Fifth Avenue' on your screens for a while yet. Of course the big question on everyones lips will be who will star in the series.
Let me know what you think and if you are looking forward to this project. This could just be all our answers to a replacement for Sex And The City.
Do you remember the novel 'The Carrie Diaries' by Candace Bushnell? Well if not it's basically the coming of age story of a younger Carrie before 'Sex and the City'. Not only is it definatly worth a read, but now there are rumours that 'The Carrie Diaries' could be made into a TV series with the CW, which has shows such as Gossip Girl and 90210 as the leading network to make this happen. If like me you have been missing Sex and the City and still haven't found a show to replace it, then start getting excited.
According to Deadline there are currently talks in place with the network CW which places them as the front runner to take and produce 'The Carrie Diaries' into a TV series. There are currently no deals in place but rumour has it that producers of Gossip Girl, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are being courted to take on the project. It is also likely that the former Sex and the City writer/producer, Amy Harris would be the one to pen this series.
CW are currently in talks as they are a network, with a younger audience than the current owners of the Sex and the City franchise HBO which includes 'The Carrie Diaries'. HBO have said in a statement, "Discussions are underway for the Carrie Diaries, Candace Bushnell's book about Carrie Bradshaw's high school years, to find a home as a potential television series."
A representative for Sarah Jessica Parker has said that for now she is in no way associated with 'The Carrie Diaries. Michael Patrick King, Sex and the City's showrunner has also come out with this statment, "I’m not working on any Sex and the City prequel at all. I haven't read Candace’s Bushnell's books. ... My Carrie Bradshaw started at 33 and I took her to 43 -- I don’t even want to know who Carrie Bradshaw’s parents are ... the idea of going backward, making her less evolved, is something that I can’t even imagine doing."
This is all still rumours at the moment, but it looks likely that 'The Carrie Diaries' will be made into a TV series in the coming future.I would definatly be tuning in if this were to happen. Are you excited to have Carrie Bradshaw back on your screens? And most importantly who would you cast in the TV show? Let me know your thoughts about 'The Carrie Diaries'?
