More stories about sex, dating, friendship, New York City, and what it means for women to have it all are on the way. According to Deadline, “in a competitive situation,” Paramount Television and Anonymous Content have obtained the rights to Candace Bushnell’s upcoming book, “Is There Still Sex in the City?,” with plans to develop it for television. Bushnell is writing the pilot and executive producing.

Hitting shelves August 6, “Is There Still Sex in the City?” examines many of the same topics as Bushnell’s original “Sex and the City,” but from the perspective of women in their 50s. “Set between the Upper East Side of Manhattan and a country enclave known as The Village, the book looks at love and life from all angles — marriage and children, divorce and bereavement, as well as the very real pressures on women to maintain their youth and have it all,” the source details.

“It didn’t used to be this way. At one time, 50 something meant the beginning of retirement — working less, spending more time on your hobbies, with your friends, who like you were sliding into a more leisurely lifestyle,” Bushnell remarked. “In short, retirement age folks weren’t meant to do much of anything but get older and a bit heavier. They weren’t expected to exercise, start new business ventures, move to a different state, have casual sex with strangers, and start all over again.” She continued, “But this is exactly what the lives of a lot of 50- and 60-something women look like today and I’m thrilled to be reflecting the rich complexity of their reality on the page and now on the screen.”

Obviously, this isn’t the first time Bushnell’s work has been brought to TV. Along with the seminal HBO series “Sex and the City,” ABC’s “Lipstick Jungle” and The CW’s “Carrie Diaries” are also adaptations of Bushnell novels. “Four Blondes” and “One Fifth Avenue” are among the author’s other books.

Joining Bushnell as executive producers on “Is There Still Sex in the City?”are Liza Chasin of 3dot Productions and Robyn Meisinger of Anonymous Content. “It is no surprise that Candace has written a fantastic, relatable, insightful, funny, and deeply honest portrayal of women in their 50s,” they said. “We are thrilled to be working with her on turning it into a series.”

“The original ‘Sex and the City’ book and series served as a groundbreaking touchstone for an entire generation of women, myself included,” declared Nicole Clemens, President of Paramount Television. “We’re thrilled to be able to continue that conversation from the underrepresented point of view of women in their 50s and answer the question with, ‘Yes! There is more sex in the city!’”

“Sex and the City” aired from 1998-2004 and starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon. The groundbreaking series picked up seven Emmy Awards and spawned two hit movie sequels.
