First Look: The Carrie Diaries


Carrie Bradshaw is going back in time to 1984 and pulling out her leggings, wedged heeled shoes, and mini skirts. Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are adapting the novel by Candance Bushnell The Carrie Diaries for the small screen, which tells the story of a teenaged Carrie before she landed in Manhattan, began writing for the New York Star, befriended Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte, and fell in love with Mr. Big. Star of Soul Sufer and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, AnnaSophia Robb will be stepping into the role, which has some very expensive shoes to fill.

Diaries will be a half-hour 13-15 episode season order, similar to the HBO series Sex and The City, and will air on Monday’s following 90210 starting January 2013.

In the clip below, we are introduced to Carrie (Robb) and her friends Maggie (Ellen Wong) and Lali (Kate Findlay), as well as her high school crush Sebastian (Austin Butler), and mentor Larissa (Freema Agyeman).

This has the potential to suck, but it could also be really good. Schwartz and Co. are known for producing hits after all. Despite Sarah Jessica Parker’s blessing, I still remain skeptical. What do you think? Sound off in the comments below!

  • I'll admit, when I heard this got picked up, I was skeptical.
    But that clip looks really cute. I'll give it a chance.

  • Well, given the fact that Swartz and Savage will be behind this, season 1 will be a success...maybe even s2....until they move on to their new projects...GG started out the same way.

  • I am also not getting the 80s vibe, but I am actually interested in watching this. I hope it stays as a 13 episode series of half hour. Short seasons tend to be really good (according to me). I hope it is as good as Sex & the City and I really they don't mess this one up (GG is hit now,.).

  • if JS and SS will have no any plans to drop this show to retards like Safran, then still it's a maybe. really this show sounds lame but it has potential as well coz of the writers and all but other than that idea of this show sounds like garbage.

    • he loves animals,watches true blood and food shows and made a very non-biased review.wow.you are very perceptive.teach me master.
