‘Sex And The City’ Being Turned Into A Reality Dating Show For The ‘Golden Bachelor’ Set

Watch out, Golden Bachelor. Author Candace Bushnell, whose work inspired Sex and the City, is reportedly developing an unscripted dating show for women in their fifties based on the hit HBO series.

Variety reports that the show, which is titled Is There Still Sex In The City?, is currently in development at Bunim/Murray Productions with Bushnell attached. The series will be shopped to buyers next month.

The program will focus on four women navigating dating in their fifties while living in a “cozy country chateau.” According to the show’s logline, the ladies will have their pick of different men and “boy toys” 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,” the logline reads. “But in the end, who will really steal their hearts, and will our ladies be able to bring the sex back to the city?”

In a statement about the show, Bushnell called “fifty-something women (and above)” the “hottest new dating demographic.”

“I should know, I am one of them,” Bushnell said. “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.”

Julie Pizzi, president of Bunim/Murray Productions, added that Bushnell’s work makes this the perfect segue into unscripted television.

“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,” Pizzi said.

Sex and the City started out as a dating column Bushnell wrote for The New York Observer, which was later adapted into an anthology. The book became the basis for the HBO series, spawning two blockbuster films and a reboot titled And Just Like That.

The short-lived series Lipstick Jungle and The Carrie Diaries were also adapted from Bushnell’s work.
