“Sex and the City” was added to the Netflix catalog on April 1, giving audiences a new opportunity to connect with the story of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.
Those watching the story for the first time, or those watching it again for the umpteenth time, may have some questions, which we answer below.
How many seasons of ‘Sex and the City’ are there? They are all available on Netflix
The series has a total of six seasons, which were originally broadcast between 1998 and 2004. A curious fact is that the story had a total of 94 episodes.
The six seasons of “Sex and the City” can be viewed through the Netflix and HBO platforms.
It is worth mentioning that her success was such that it led her to have two films: “Sex and the City: The Movie” (2008) and “Sex and the City 2” (2010), which dealt with the story of the protagonists some years after the series ended.
In addition, 2021 saw the release of ‘And Just Like That…’, a series that follows the lives of Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte at a more mature age and today.
In addition, there is a prequel called “The Carrie Diaries”, which focuses on Carrie Bradshaw’s school years (her friends are not shown).
How old is Carrie Bradshaw in the first season of ‘Sex and the City’?
At the beginning of the series, Carrie Bradshaw states that she is 32 years old. Since the first season takes place in 1998, that means his year of birth is 1966.
The show follows a timeline that generally coincides with real time, so Carrie would have to age a year for each season.
Following this logic, Carrie turns 35 in Season 4 and 38 at the end of the original series, as confirmed in the episode title “Catch-38”.
However, with the introduction of the films, time continuity and the ages of the characters seem to lose meaning, as discrepancies appear between the ages stated and those inferred from the time elapsed since the original series.
Why is ‘Sex and the City’ season 5 shorter than the others?
The show’s fifth season is noticeably shorter than the others, with only eight episodes compared to the average of around 18 episodes for the other installments.
The reduction in the number of episodes was due to Sarah Jessica Parker’s pregnancy during filming. In late 2001, the actress and husband Matthew Broderick welcomed their first child, James, and the star’s baby bump would begin to show on camera. It should be remembered that, by contrast, Carrie Bradshaw never becomes a mother in fiction.
A curious fact is that Sarah Jessica Parker’s own son made a brief appearance in “Sex and the City.” In the sixth season, her character meets her ex-boyfriend, Aidan Shaw, on the street and discovers that he has become a father, as he appears to be holding his son. The baby in the scene is James Wilkie.
