The CW Sets Carrie Diaries Premiere Date

On Thursday morning, The CW announced the premiere date for its new series The Carrie Diaries starring AnnaSophia Robb.

The new show, a prequel to the Sex and The City series, is set to premiere on Monday, January 14th, at 8/7c on The CW. This week also marks the return of most of the primetime series from the winter hiatus.

90210, which previously held the Mondays-at-8pm time slot will then switch to its new time slot an hour later at 9/8c currently occupied by Gossip Girl.

THE CARRIE DIARIES takes place in 1984, where life is not easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie’s younger sister Dorritt is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own. Carrie’s friends – sweet, geeky Mouse, sarcastic and self-assured Maggie and sensitive Walt – make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn’t doing much to take her mind off her troubles. And even though the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian brings some excitement to Carrie’s world, she is struggling to move on from her grief. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance. Carrie’s eyes are opened wide at the glamour and grit of New York City – and when she meets Larissa, the style editor for Interview magazine, she’s inspired by the club culture and unique individuals that make up Larissa’s world. Carrie’s friends and family may have a big place in her heart, but she’s fallen in love for the first time with the most important man in her life – Manhattan.
