The Carrie Diaries debuts on The CW tonight at 8p and you don’t want to miss out on Carrie Bradshaw’s teenage years!
We have seen Carrie Bradshaw all grown up in Sex and the City and now we are seeing her as a 16 year old girl. Carrie’s (AnnaSophia Robb) life was much different back in 1984. She just lost her mom to cancer a few months earlier, she was living in Connecticut with her dad (Matt Letscher) and her younger sister (Stefania Owen), she was interning at a law firm and she was a virgin who wasn’t dating anyone. Her best friends were not Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda, but they were Mouse (Ellen Wong), Maggie (Kate Findlay) and Walt (Brendan Dolling) and the latter two are dating. Walt has a secret that will change everything, but he just doesn’t realize what that secret is just yet.
There is a new boy at school and all the girls want Sebastian Kydd (Austin Butler) and he only has eyes on Carrie. That is not going to go over well with the popular girls at school, but who cares when the hottest guy wants you!
Carrie’s dad wants to make his daughter happy, so he gets her an internship at a law firm in Manhattan. On her first day in The City she meets Larissa (Freema Agyeman) who works for Interview Magazine at a store and they immediately hit it off. Now the teen is partying with the coolest people at the hottest places and they have no idea just how young she is! She is going to have to fake it if she wants to keep up with them and since we know our girl we know she can do it.
In 1984, The City was a much different place and we are going to see it through Carrie’s innocent eyes. And because of that innocence we get a show that all you Sex and the City fans can enjoy. For those of you (like me) who didn’t watch SATC, you will still find yourself loving this show because it is just so sweet and enticing. Just like Manhattan in 1984!
