The HBO 1998 hit series Sex and the City is expected to land on Netflix! Initially reported by The New York Times and according to TVLine, the show is scheduled to arrive on the streaming platform by April. Sex and the City is just one of the shows that are part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s licensing deal, which gives Netflix the rights to all six seasons of the series.

In the past, HBO had a policy that the network would not license its titles to Netflix. All of that changed last year with the release of the latest licensing deal. Two series from HBO, the sports dramedy series Ballers and another dramedy Insecure, have already made the HBO to Netflix pipeline. Some new agreements are in the works for two other series, Six Feet Under and Band of Brothers. As per TVLine, these agreements will be non-exclusive, which allows all of these HBO titles, including Sex and the City, to be available on Max as well.

This is not the first time HBO has licensed its titles outside its corporate framework. According to TVLine, HBO’s corporate sibling, TBS, purchased a significantly modified version of Sex and the City in syndication. Other titles such as Curb Your Enthusiasm aired on TV Channel Guide, and Entourage was streamed on Spike. Likewise, before the company’s streamer Max was born, shows including The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under once found their home at Amazon. 

Sex and the City premiered on HBO in 1998 and ran until 2004; it starred Sarah Jessica Parker (The Family Stone, Hocus Pocus), Kim Cattrall (How I Met Your Father, Glamorous), Kristin Davis (Deck the Halls, Bad Teacher), and Cynthia Nixon (James White, The Gilded Age). The series follows four friends trying to figure out their love lives while living in New York. 

The series was a massive hit and led to two feature films, Sex and the City and Sex and the City 2. Parker, Nixon and Davis recently reunited for the SATC revival for Max entitled And Just Like That… The revival has been so successful that it was greenlighted for its third season last year. The third season is expected in 2025, and as per TVLine, it will most likely stay a Max exclusive.
