Sex and the City is an American romantic comedy-drama television series created by Darren Star for HBO, based on the newspaper column and 1996 book by Candace Bushnell. It premiered in the United States on June 6, 1998, and concluded on February 22, 2004, with 94 episodes broadcast over six seasons.
The series follows the lives of four female friends living in New York City: the streetwise newspaper columnist Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker), the sexually liberal PR professional Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), the more conservative art dealer Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) and the cynical lawyer Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon).
Sex and the City received both acclaim and criticism for its characters and themes, and is credited with helping to increase HBO's popularity. It won numerous accolades including seven Primetime Emmy Awards, eight Golden Globe Awards and three Screen Actors Guild Awards. The series was ranked fifth on Entertainment Weekly's "New TV Classics" list, and has been cited as one of the best television series of all time. It airs in syndication worldwide.
Sex and the City was followed by the feature films Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010), and a prequel television series commissioned by the CW, The Carrie Diaries (2013–14). A sequel series, And Just Like That..., premiered on HBO Max on December 9, 2021, without Cattrall.
