Similar to the plethora of single 50-somethings living across the island of Manhattan, Candace Bushnell can\u2019t help but wonder\u2026 Is there still sex in the city?This query has formed the basis of her next project, a made-for-television reality dating show originally titled after that line of questioning.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the real life Carrie Bradshaw<\/a> is trading fictionalised renditions of the pitfalls of dating<\/a> across New York\u2019s five boroughs\u2014because lest we forget Miranda\u2019s altruistic act of moving to Brooklyn for her family\u2014for the real deal. Because in the age of the Tinder swindler swiping Margiela Tabis<\/a>, fact is finally preceeding fiction when it comes to entertainment value.<\/p>\n

Bushnell and the production company Bunim\/Murray Productions are adapting the premies of Sex And The City<\/a><\/em> into a reality treatment<\/a>, with the team slated to take the project to potential buyers by year\u2019s end. As per Deadline<\/em><\/a>, who first broke the story, the official logline isn\u2019t too dissimilar to the storyline we\u2019ve come to know and love. The synopsis as follows:<\/p>\n

Is there still Sex in the City? will follow four \u201cfabulous\u201d friends in their fifties who are looking for a love do-over as they leave their busy city lives for a dating utopia. They\u2019ll live together in a cozy country chateau where they\u2019ll have their pick of a different group of men in each episode. They\u2019ll 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?<\/p>\n

Of course, this outline does sound eerily similar to the last few seasons of Real Housewives Of New York City<\/em>, where the likes of former countess Luann de Lesseps and former Mrs. Morgan, Sonja Morgan contented to be the best bachelorette north of 59th Street. (As RHONY<\/em> fans might recall, Busnhell was accosted in the Hamptons by former cast member Dorinda Medley, so it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll cast anyone already swimming in the reality pool).<\/p>\n

On the show, Bushnell told the publication, \u201cFifty-something women and above are the hottest new dating demographic, and I should know, I am one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the decades, I\u2019ve dated men of all ages and I\u2019m 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,\u201d the author added.<\/p>\n

We here at GRAZIA don\u2019t need any excuse to gather our girlfriends, pour out rounds of Cosmos and indulge in some guilty pleasure viewing, but trust Bushnell to be the one to bring sex back to the city, and our screens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42674,"featured_media":84062,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"\n'Sex And The City' Is Being Made Into A Dating Show<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"'Sex And The City' is being made into a reality dating show by real-life Carrie Bradshaw, Candace Bushnell.
