Video: first look at CW's new series 'The Carrie Diaries'

Carrie Bradshaw is back. The character from the popular defunct HBO series "Sex and The City," gets deSORASed in the new series, "The Carrie Diaries" premiering January 14th on The CW.

Based on the novels by Candace Bushnell, it is 1984, and life isn’t easy for 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw. Since their mother passed away, Carrie’s younger sister Dorritt is more rebellious than ever, and their father Tom is overwhelmed with the responsibility of suddenly having to care for two teenage girls on his own. Carrie’s friends – sweet, geeky Mouse, snarky Maggie and sensitive Walt – make life bearable, but a suburban life in Connecticut isn’t doing much to take her mind off her troubles. Even the arrival of a sexy new transfer student named Sebastian only reminds Carrie that she spent the whole summer grieving rather than moving on with life. So when Tom offers Carrie the chance to intern at a law firm in Manhattan, she leaps at the chance. The series stars Anna Sophia Robb, Stefania Owen, Matt Letscher, Ellen Wong, Katie Findlay, Brendan Dooling, Chloe Bridges, and Freema Agyeman.
