Earlier this year, the CW’s spin off show titled The Carrie Diaries did surprisingly well for a spin-off show (the original series being Sex and the City). Now the producers have just started to announce the new characters that will be introduced into the series and avid Sex and the City fans will be happy with whose coming in this season.
Today, July 20th, TV Line announced that Lindsey Gort will be playing Carrie Bradshaw’s (AnnaSophia Robb) long time girl friend Samantha Jones. The young actress, who will be featured in the upcoming film 2 Guns, looks like a dead ringer for Kim Cattrall, the actress who brought Samantha Jones to life in the original series.
E! reported that the producers of The Carrie Diaries said that Samantha and Carrie will meet through a “surprising connection.”
During the season one finale of the show it was hinted that we would also be meeting Carrie’s gay best guy friend, Stanford Blatch who will be played by Willie Garson.
The Carrie Diaries returns to the CW October 25th.
