It’s been over 25 years since Sex and the City first brought viewers into the glamorous world of New York City, filled with love, style and, of course, Cosmopolitans.

Based on Candace Bushnell's book of the same name, the HBO original series ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2004. The franchise later expanded to include two movies, Sex and the City in 2008 and Sex and the City 2 in 2010. Despite early versions of a script being in place for a third film, plans eventually fell through.

In all of the installations of the dramedy, Sarah Jessica Parker stars as fashion-obsessed columnist Carrie Bradshaw, along with Cynthia Nixon as high achieving lawyer Miranda Hobbes, Kim Cattrall as publicity expert Samantha Jones and Kristin Davis as hopeless romantic Charlotte York.

In addition to Max, Sex and the City's six seasons are now available on Netflix starting today (April 1, 2024).

All seasons of Sex and the City are available to stream on Max and Netflix.

Individual episodes and full seasons can also be purchased on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and YouTube.

First premiering in June 1998 on HBO, Sex and the City ran for a total of 94 episodes across six seasons until February 2004.

The show is narrated by Carrie, a sex and relationship writer with a love for fashion who chronicles her and her friends' love lives in a weekly newspaper column. Over the six seasons, viewers see Carrie face various relationship ups and downs, mostly with John James Preston (Chris Noth), a.k.a. Mr. Big and Aidan Shaw (John Corbett).

Miranda is a dedicated lawyer who is often the voice of reason within the group, as she is unafraid to share her opinion. She unexpectedly welcomes a son, Brady, with on-again-off-again Steve Brady (David Eigenberg) in season 4.

A few years older than the other girls, Samantha loves sex and living her life with no filter. She works in PR and is generally opposed to monogamy until she falls hard for someone special, like Richard Wright (James Remar) and Jerry “Smith” Jerrod (Jason Lewis).

Charlotte works in an art gallery and has fairly high standards when it comes to romance. She marries Trey MacDougal (Kyle MacLachlan) within a few months of meeting, but issues soon arise in their marriage that are unresolvable. It isn't until Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler) comes along that she learns what true love really is, even if he doesn’t check off any of her traditional boxes.

Sex and the City was released in theaters on May 30, 2008. The film is set a few years after the series wrapped, with Carrie and Big in a happy relationship. While looking at new apartments together, he suggests they marry, and she agrees.

Across the city, Miranda and Steve are busy in Brooklyn raising their son Brady, but Steve admits to cheating on Miranda, and she leaves him.

Meanwhile, Samantha and Smith are still together and living in Los Angeles, but she feels stagnant in their relationship and frequently travels to N.Y.C. to see Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte. In the midst of this, Charlotte continues growing her family.

On the day of Carrie and Big’s wedding, he backs out, causing emotional turmoil for everyone. The girls go with Carrie on what should have been her honeymoon to Mexico, and when they return, she attempts to put her life back together again.

Two years after the first film, Sex and the City 2 was released on May 27, 2010. Carrie and Big are married but grappling with keeping a spark between them.

Samantha is now single and trying to fight the changes that come with menopause. On the other hand, Miranda quits a job that makes her miserable, while Charlotte tries not to admit that she’s having a hard time juggling her daughters.

The foursome leave their problems in the Big Apple behind and jet off to Abu Dhabi on an all-expenses-paid trip to a luxury resort where Samantha has a business meeting with the owner. Still, Carrie’s marriage gets even more confusing when an old flame reappears halfway around the world.
