All seasons of HBO series Sex and the City will soon be available on Netflix

The hit series, starring Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall, was until now only available to stream on HBO Max.
It was previously known that HBO parent company Warner Bros. Discovery entered into a content agreement with Netflix in July 2023, which included a licensing deal for several series. Series included in the deal included Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Six Feet Under, Ballers, Insecure and True Blood. Sex and the City has now also been added.

Sex and the City

All six seasons of the popular HBO series, previously only available on HBO Max, will be available for the first time on Netflix starting Monday, April 1. Sex and the City will of course also remain available on HBO's streaming service.

In less than a month, all 94 episodes of the original series, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall, will hit Netflix. Debuting in 1998, Sex and the City follows the lives of four women living in New York City as they navigate love, friendship and sex in the big city, all the while remaining inseparable and confiding in each other.



In November 2023, HBO chief Casey Bloys addressed the change in strategy to license HBO content to Netflix, saying there is a "balance" at play.

“We have to be protective of the shows that we have and are successful,” he said. “But, you know, I’ve worked in television long enough that syndication used to be, that was the pot of gold. That was the brass ring that meant that your show was gonna go on and have a life after its initial run and live for decades. So the idea of selling a show outside of your ecosystem wasn’t an unusual idea, obviously at HBO we did it a lot with Band of Brothers, which was on, I think, History network, and Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sex and the City. We basically sold everything, so it’s not a new concept.

Bloys continued, “Obviously, streaming and companies kind of reorienting themselves has impacted that. But I think the way that we’re doing it somewhat cautiously, doing it co-exclusively, we’re never giving anybody an exclusive right to a show. What we’ve seen so far … with Ballers and any show that we’re putting on, we’re seeing an uptick on that. So it has been helpful. That said, I don’t think you’re going to see more recent shows, you’re not going to see the shows I presented here on anywhere else until years later, which is the syndication model, so I am comfortable with it.”

The two Sex and the City films and the sequel series, And Just Like That… , will still only stream on HBO Max.
