Yep, we know, even though Sarah Jessica Parker recently said "I know there is a story ... whether we tell it remains to be seen. The answer remains unclear at this time." about a new Sex and the City project, her new TV role will be completely different - although she WILL play a journalist.

Brought to you by the team behind hit drama True Detective, the new show will be called Busted, based on the non-fiction book Busted, A Tale of Corruption and Betrayal in the City of Brotherly Love.
