After The Carrie Diaries came to an end, the show’s stars such as AnnaSophia Robb, Austin Butler and Katie Findlay have only continued to find success .
The CW series, which premiered in 2013, served as a prequel for Sarah Jessica Parker‘s character Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City.
The HBO hit, which ran for six seasons, was based on Candace Bushnell‘s bestselling Sex and the City anthology book series that took inspiration from her column in the New York Observer.
The Carrie Diaries followed Carrie as she balanced her suburban life in high school with her first internship in the city. The show came to an end in 2014 after two seasons on air.
Producer Amy B. Harris previously broke down how the writing team took Sex and the City into account while creating a new narrative in The Carrie Diaries.
“I had to tell a version of the story I thought I could write to for not just one episode but for many,” Harris told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013. “We debated a lot about whether or not to include anything about Carrie’s family backstory in [Sex and the City] and we mentioned once [on SATC] that the father had left.
It didn’t feel like the right version to me, because the story felt more complicated than a parent leaving, and Candace’s version [with Carrie’s mom dying] in the book really spoke to me, the idea that she has a good relationship with her father, which is why she’s looking for a certain type of man.”
AnnaSophia Robb
After bringing the titular role of Carrie to life, Robb appeared on Mercy Street, The Act, Little Fires Everywhere and Dr. Death. She also booked movie roles including Freak Show, Down a Dark Hall, Words on Bathroom Walls, Lansky and Rebel Ridge.
Robb announced her engagement to Trevor Paul in September 2021 and they exchanged vows one year later.
Austin Butler
Following his time playing Sebastian on The Carries Diaries, Butler continued to appear on television with roles on Arrow and The Shannara Chronicles. He is set to star in the upcoming miniseries Masters of Air, which will premiere in 2023.
Butler became a household name after booking roles in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Baz Luhrmann's 2022 Elvis Presley biopic. For his performance as the music legend, Butler received an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe win.
In his personal life, Butler dated Vanessa Hudgens for almost a decade before they called it quits in 2020. He has since been in a relationship with Kaia Gerber.
Ellen Wong
Since portraying Mouse, Wong scored roles on Dark Matter and GLOW. She will voice the role of Knives Chau in the upcoming Scott Pilgrim Takes Off series after originating the character in the film. Wong has also booked movies including The Void, The Circle, Best Sellers and The Christmas Setup.
