Confirmed: The CW Will Make a TV Show Out of Sex and the City Prequel The Carrie Diaries

What a nice treat for Fashion Week: The CW has bought the rights to produce The Carrie Diaries, Candace Bushnell‘s YA prequel to Sex and the City. And the people helming the adaptation will be none other than Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, executive producers for Gossip Girl.

Crushable Books: Stories Rob Lowe Only Tells His Many Many Many Friends
