Amongst recent talk that a third Sex and the City movie may be in the works, we also get word that the popular series may also be making a return to television screens. The CW Network is looking to develop a Sex and the City prequel, with a potential launch date of September, 2012.
The series would be based on The Carrie Diaries, Candice Bushnell’s book about Carrie’s high school years. The Carrie Diaries starts with her senior year in high school in the 1980s and continues to her first internship in New York City. SATC character Samantha Jones is in the story, but the other main characters are not. No word yet on who might play Sarah Jessica Parker‘s iconic Carrie, or other roles in the series.
It was one of the most critically acclaimed new series last year and now HBO’s Boardwalk Empire is back for season two. As the season two promos state: “Heads will roll”. Season 5 premieres on September 25th
Expect more violence and intrigue in the continued story of prohibition-era Atlantic City liquor boss Nucky Thompson, played beautifully by Steve Buscemi. Other cast members include Michael Pitt, Michael Shannon and Kelly MacDonald. According to internet reports, Nucky will face challenges this season, not only from the closing federal agents led by obsessed Nelson Van Alden but also from his family and other criminals looking to take over his business, including Al Capone.
Everyone’s favorite Hollywood car wreck Charlie Sheen is getting roasted next month on Comedy Central. Being promoted (and quite fittingly) as the ‘Crazy Train’, the latest Comedy Central roast premieres on September 19th. With no lack of topics for roasters to speak on, expect a great night of laughs at the expense of the former Two and a Half Men star.
Among the roasters at the event: Mike Tyson, Lisa Lampanelli, Jeffrey Ross and TMZ founder Harvey Levin. Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this TV event is it airs at the same time as the 2011 season premiere of Two and a Half Men, now featuring Ashton Kutcher in the starring role. The Men premiere episode features Sheen’s TV character getting killed off. The overnight TV ratings will provide the ultimate barometer of how many fans watched the top rated comedy because Sheen was on it.
As the summer movie blockbuster season winds down, we turn our attention to the upcoming new Fall 2011 TV season. This September will see most renewed television series come back with season premieres, as well as the series premiere of dozens of new shows.

The Angels are back! This fall, ABC TV is rebooting the classic 1970s TV series Charlie’s Angels. The original series started in 1976 and made Farrah Fawcett a household name and arguably the biggest poster pin-up star of all time. Farrah’s poster today is still a huge seller: click here for Farrah Fawcett posters.
Charlie’s Angels was also made into two popular movies in the early 2000′s, which starred Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore as the Angels. Barrymore is now the executive producer of the new 2011 TV series version. The new show takes place in Miami and features a much younger, hunkier looking Bosley. We can also expect lots of action and great ‘eye candy’, which was the claim to fame of the original Charlies series.
Actors receiving nominations include Steve Buscemi, Jon Hamm, Steve Carell, Jane Lynch, Tina Fey and virtually the entire cast of Modern Family in the Supporting Acting categories. For more information on the 2011 Emmy Award nominees, click here. The Emmy winners will be announced in September.
