HBO has given us one of their most popular shows with S-x and the City, and Netflix users will soon be able to binge-watch it in full. Carrie Bradshaw and co. are reportedly heading to this streaming service after Netflix signed an exclusive licensing deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Led by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall, S-x and the City centered on four women navigating life, love, and friendship in New York City during their mid-thirties. The series ran on HBO for six seasons between 1998 and 2004 and went on to become a true cult classic.
Netflix’s new licensing deal with HBO includes all six seasons of the original show, but it doesn’t cover spin-off films nor a recent sequel series And Just Like That… The hit series is expected to hit Netflix in April in the U.S. and selected European markets.
Licensing is a big part of Netflix’s current strategy, and co-CEO Ted Sarandos recently urged studios to license more titles after several shows found a brand-new audience on this streaming platform.
“We’ve got a rich history of helping break some of TV’s biggest hits like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead… We can resurrect the show like Suits and turn it into a big pop culture moment and also generate billions of hours of joy for our members,” said Sarandos in a recent call to investors.
