"Sex and the City" is getting the reality dating treatment. Bunim/Murray Productions has teamed up with Candace Bushnell, whose book served as the basis for the long-running HBO hit.
The Banijay Americas-owned producer will take out the project to potential buyers next month.
It will follow four “fabulous” friends in their fifties who are looking for a love do-over as they leave their busy city lives for a dating utopia. 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?
Bushnell said, “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.”
Bunim/Murray President Julie Pizzi added, “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.”
