Bunim/Murray Teams with Sex and the City Creator for Dating Format

Bunim/Murray Productions is developing the unscripted dating format Is There Still Sex in the City, in partnership with the best-selling author and Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell.

In the immersive dating experience, four friends in their 50s who are looking for a love do-over will leave their busy city lives for a dating utopia. They’ll live together in a country chateau where they’ll have their pick of a different group of men in each episode.

Bushnell commented, “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.”

Bushnell is a best-selling novelist, TV producer and, most recently, the star of her own one-woman show: True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and the City. She is behind the book Sex and the City, published in 1996. It served as the basis for the TV hit Sex and the City, which had six seasons on HBO, two movies and the reboot series And Just Like That, currently in production for its third season. Bushnell is also the international best-selling author of Four Blondes, Trading Up, Lipstick Jungle, One Fifth Avenue and The Carrie Diaries. Lipstick Jungle and The Carrie Diaries each became network TV series (NBC and The CW) for two seasons.
