FOR those still suffering withdrawal symptoms from their weekly dose of Sex And The City, relief seems to be in sight.
Filming has just finished on a one-hour pilot for a series called Cashmere Mafia, which revolves around the lives of four glamorous career women in New York.
Sound familiar?
While Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte won't be making an appearance, Cashmere Mafia does have the genius touch of Sex And The City creator Darren Star.
It stars Lucy Liu, NYPD Blue's Bonnie Somerville and Aussie actresses Miranda Otto and Frances O'Connor as four high-powered executives who have been mates since college and rely on each other as they juggle their lives.
Miranda will play the boss of a hotel chain, while Frances will play Zoe Burden, the managing director of a Wall Street investment bank.
It might all sound very similar to Sex And The City, but Star insists it will have a more mature spin with a focus on the women's careers.
"Where "Sex and the City" was about relationships, this show is about women and work," he told the New York Daily News.
"The characters are all friends from business school who are in the power echelons of New York. The show is about their work and how they balance work, family and relationships and in some ways the extra workload that women have to bear in times like this."
