Sex and the City is having a double revival - two shows called Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle.
Both of the new TV shows remind the viewer of Sex and the City. And no wonder.
Cashmere Mafia is produced by Sex and the City creator Darren Star. Very similar to SATC by the way of four women, Lucy Lui, Bonnie Sommerville and Australia's own Miranda Otto and Frances O'Connor who are very successful career wise, based in New York and discuss their relationships.
The Los Angeles Times says "Showcasing the glamorous and high-octane lives of women 10 years older and 10 years more successful than the "Sex" gals, Cashmere has at its core a foursome with all the requisite cheek, talent and disparate hair color/back stories."
Funnily enough, Lipstick Jungle has been created by best-selling author Candace Bushnell, who penned the original New York dating column that was the model for Carrie Bradshaw. Starting to see similarities?
Like Cashmere Mafia, Lipstick Jungle is about high-powered women juggling their careers and personal lives in Manhattan. However there are only three girls, not four. Cast includes Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price. Aussie Melissa George was originally casted for Nico, now played by Kim Raver but quit because of creative differences. I think this is a big mistake as it could launch her on the A-List.
