Sex and the City is getting the dating show treatment. According to Deadline, an unscripted dating show is in development at Bunim/Murray Productions based on Candace Bushnell’s Sex and the City book. The series, titled Is There Still Sex in The City is set to follow four “fabulous” friends in their fifties as they look for a “love do-over”. According to the series logline, “They’ll live together in a cozy country chateau where they’ll have their pick of a different group of men in each episode. They’ll try the boy toys, sample a senior age player, be romanced by the rich guys and even get to flirt with their fantasy man. But in the end, who will really steal their hearts, and will our ladies be able to bring the sex back to the city?” The series is set to be shopped out to potential buyers next month.
“Fifty-something women and above are the hottest new dating demographic, and I should know, I am one of them. Over the decades, I’ve dated men of all ages and I’m so excited to be working on a show that combines my passion for relationships with the chance to help women, like me, navigate a love do-over,” Bushnell said.

“We feel that Candace’s brand has grown with her audience and her expertise in the dating space is an incredible entry point for an immersive dating experiment,” Julie Pizzi, Bunim/Murray president added.
Bushnell is known as the “real-life Carrie Bradshaw” having created the alter ego while writing the 1996 novel Sex and The City. That novel went on to inspire the HBO series of the same name as well as the revival And Just Like That.
