STORY: Sarah Jessica Parker Reads Fake 'Sex and the City 3' Script

As The Hollywood Reporter previously reported, the CW decided to move forward with the project -- based on The Carrie Diaries, the book series written by Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell that follows Carrie Bradshaw during her senior year of high school in the early 1980s -- after hearing the pitch Friday. Warner Bros. Television and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire will produce.

"[WBTV president] Peter Roth is smart and wonderful and funny, and I’m sure it will be in excellent hands,” said Parker, who is not involved in the CW project.

The second novel in Bushnell's series, Summer and the City: A Carrie Diaries Book, was published in April and revolves around Carrie’s first trip to New York. Both books have been big sellers, with Bushnell signing on this summer to pen two additional young adult novels.

Parker starred in the original Sex and the City, which aired for six seasons on HBO, as well as the two movies. She also was an executive producer on the series and producer on both films.

Parker has said in recent interviews that she already knows what a story line for a third film would be, but there are no immediate plans to begin working on a threequel.

"I don't know of a movie in the imminent, or near, or even distant future," she said.
