HBO presents the grand finale of 'Sex And The City'

Media Release

New Delhi,May 11

HBO, the world’s greatest movie channel presents the Grand Finale of the most-loved, one of the highest rated series for India, the groundbreaking romantic comedy ‘Sex And The City’ season 5 & 6. Premiering May 14th, catch an exclusive special presentation with 2 all-new episodes back-to-back, every Sunday after the 8 pm movie.

Since its international launch in 1998, HBO’s Sex And The City has spawned into a pop-culture phenomenon, amassing fans the world over with its candid yet honest take on the issues women face. ‘Sex And The City’ Season 5 & 6 have won 3 Emmy Awards and 24 Emmy nominations and won 2 Golden Globe awards with 10 Golden Globe award nominations. By focusing on issues women face, from the good to the bad, the ugly and the fun, the fifth and the sixth season of HBO’s Sex And The City sees everyone’s favorite women – Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda – return: older and wiser, but no less hopeful.

Carrie (Emmy® award-winning actress Sarah Jessica Parker) find success in her professional life when she publishes a new book. Later in the season, Carrie meets a new love interest in the form of Jack Berger (Ron Livingston, from HBO’s Band of Brothers) – but will she be lucky in love? One can only keep their fingers crossed.

We see the “softer” side of Samantha (Emmy® award-winning actress Kim Cattrall) as she discovers that she too, is capable of not only loving someone but also being in a monogamous relationship. That is until, her boyfriend’s roving eyes prove too much of a handful for even a tough cookie like Samantha. The usually acerbic-tongued and fiercely independent Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) turns vulnerable following the birth of Baby Brady as she learns to cope with motherhood while Charlotte (Kristin Davis) realizes that the “perfect man” can come in a less-than-perfect package, in the form of her divorce attorney.

Shruti Bajpai, Country Manager HBO Asia says, “HBO’s Sex And The City has proven itself to be a phenomenon in television entertainment, which is exemplified by the laurels it has won as well as the overwhelming response that the past seasons have received from its patron viewers in India. With Season 5 and 6, HBO’s Sex And the City is all set, once again, to touch the hearts of women and men alike with its engaging storyline and relatable content.“

The show’s four heroines represent a contrasting mix of archetypes. For the uninitiated, there’s columnist Carrie Bradshaw, who is in search of “butterflies-in-the-stomach” true love; Miranda Hobbes, a single mother who is trying to juggle the pressures of work, motherhood and dating; Charlotte York who comes to realize that her world need not be so perfect and Samantha Jones, a public relations executive who lives life on her own terms without regrets.

However different these four ladies may be, they are all not afraid to search for fulfilling relationships, and yet are not looking for validation in another person. They find it within themselves and through their friendships with each other, just as viewers will see in this final season of HBO’s Sex And The City, as the ladies come full circle, with each of them experiencing the panacea of friendships, the pain of heartbreaks and the pleasures of relationships.

So, don’t miss the sexcapades as they continue in India’s most popular HBO Original series: Sex And The City season 5 & 6 in a special presentation of 2 all-new episodes back-to-back, premiering May 14 - Sunday, after your 8 pm ‘HBO Sunday Super Hits’ movie, with encore episodes on Wednesday night.
