Where is the ‘The Carrie Diaries’ Cast Now? Catch Up with the Stars of the Forgotten 2013 ‘Sex and the City’ Prequel
Find out where AnnaSophia Robb and the stars have been since the show ended!
Have you ever wondered how Carrie Bradshaw ended up as the most iconic news columnist in New York City and how she can possibly afford all of those amazing shoes? Well, the latter is still unknown to us, but becoming a journalist in the Big Apple might have something to do with where she got her start.
The Carrie Diaries, which aired for two seasons from 2013 to 2014 on The CW and is a prequel to HBO’s Sex and the City, follows a teenage Carrie Bradshaw as she navigates life after losing her mother. While she struggles to cope, Carrie takes the opportunity to intern at a fancy law firm in Manhattan and, along the way, meets Interview Magazine style editor Larissa, who introduces her to an entirely new world of fashion, nightclubs and glamour.
Carrie struggles to hide her new life from her stressed-out father and keep her rebellious younger sister, Dorrit, in line. Check in with the cast of The Carrie Diaries and see where the stars ended up after it was canceled.
