In January, the press reported a million-dollar deal between Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery for the distribution rights to Sex and the City, the iconic HBO series. Today we know that the deal will not only benefit Netflix users in the United States and some European countries, but also those living in Latin America. On March 2, the platform announced the arrival of all seasons of the acclaimed show starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall. All 94 episodes will arrive on the red N company on April 1, 2024.
In fact, ceated by Darren Star as a loose adaptation of Candace Bushnell's literary anthology, Sex and the City transcended television history. Disruptive, daring and a pioneer in the nineties in representing female independence and sexuality, the series stood out for addressing themes of friendship and autonomy. Also, the anecdotes of its characters, it opened the debate on what it meant to be a woman and the social expectations of it.
Sarah Jessica Parker played Carrie Bradshaw, an American columnist who finds inspiration for her writing in the love experiences of her friends or in interactions with her own suitors. The quartet was rounded out by lawyer Miranda Hobbs (Nixon), romantic art broker Charlotte York (Davis) and finally, the public relations specialist Samantha Jones (Cattrall).
However, not the entire franchise is in the licensing agreement signed by Warner and Netflix. For now, the Sex and the City universe movies and the spin-off series And Just Like That…. will still be exclusively available in streaming by Max.
