Even for audiences unfamiliar with the show itself, many are familiar with the fab four. The series was adapted into a pair of feature films (2008 and 2010) which introduced the characters to an entirely new age group. This was followed by a revival in the form of Max’s And Just Like That… in 2021, and in between there was the 2013 CW prequel show, The Carrie Diaries. That series, starring AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie Bradshaw, follows the character as a teenager dealing with first loves, friendships and interning in Manhattan.
