At ABC's TCAs Sex and the City creator Darren Star was asked the obvious over and over again. His new show includes Miranda Otto, Frances O'Connor, Bonnie Somerville and Lucy Liu as his new dream foursome in the mid season guilty pleasure, Cashmere Mafia. Yes, the cast has four beautiful women living in NYC but he promises this show is different than that Sex show we all can't stop talking about. He also addressed the movie rumors (sort of) and how this show is a lot like that other one called Lipstick Jungle based on the book by his good friend who also wrote SATC. Here are highlights:
- Difference between CM and SATC:
"This is a show that examines women from the point of view of women in business and the particular challenges they face as career women. SATC is a comedy about sex.... the shows are looking at women from two different points of view." - When asked for any teasers about the SATC movie Darren joked:
"It features four women." He then went on to only say, that there is a script and it's in the form of pre-production so at least that is more evidence that the movie is on its way to being made. - On NBC's Lipstick Jungle:
"I'm a dear friend of Candace and I read "Lipstick Jungle" which I think is a terrific book, and at the time we were talking about it, I did not end up producing "Lipstick Jungle" and it sort of went on its merry way for a couple of years. And then this idea came to Kevin and I through Gail and ABC and I thought absolutely. I'm still very energized creatively by this arena. And the idea that there can be two shows about "Saturday Night Live" on one network, to say that there can't be more than one show about working women is ridiculous because there is so much material there."
What else do we have to look forward to? How about the adorable Lucy Liu being dressed by Patricia Field! It's hard to not make the comparisons to SJP but based on how they talked about how the designer works on the set we can expect lots of exciting new outfits.

Maybe I'll watch this who knows. Lucy looks really cute, I've always liked her.
1i hope that this will be a great show for Lucy Liu because the last movies she did except Kill Bill really sucked and it's a shame because she's great actress.
2Lipstick Jungle was my last beach read on our Caribbean vacation. The book was very "fun" and I couldn't put it down!
3I want to watch both shows.
4Oooh, I love Miranda Otto. Ever since she played Eowyn. And she seemed lots of fun in interviews.
5I love Lucy Liu! She's so pretty and such a good actress. I might actually watch this show. (Miranda Otto, too! Glad to see her riding a wave of success after Lord of the Rings)
6I'll definitely give both shows a chance.
7it sounds similar, both to satc and each other. but i'll prob watch anyways!
8I really like Miranda Otto and I'd love to see her in this! I can't wait.
9I think I'll catch both shows, and possibly narrow it down to one depending on which one I like better.
10I love Lucy Liu but it so screams sex and the city, couldn't they even have change the number of female leads?
11I think I'll watch both shows.I hope they're good.
12I am so happy they are making shows like these two, aimed at women. I love love love Miranda Otto, she was amazing in The Starter Wife and of course LOTR.
13I just think it's funny that the TV adaptation of Bushnell's "Lipstick Jungle" premieres next January, while this show--which was supposed to have been a TV adaptation of Bushnell's "Lipstick Jungle"(Star and Bushnell couldn't agree on things, so Star changed the names)--will be airing too.
14Lucy where have you been all this time? I love Lucy & I miss her from Ally McBeal days..I'll watch it!
15I think I am one of the only young women who never got into SATC....mainly cause I didn't have HBO at the time but I was never a big SJP fan anyways! I'll probably watch this show cause I love Lucy Lui and it seems like something fun Id like!
16butterfly..i didn't get into it til it was on reruns. now i watch it on demand. SJP is so ugly, she looks like a witch.
17OMG, Loren I totally agree! I know so many people love her and what not but I just don't get her appeal?
18hahaa Loren & Butterfly..I didn't have cable either hence am now watching SATC on regular TV..right after our local news..
