Austin Butler


It's been a while since The Carrie Diaries finale—we left off with (spoiler!) Carrie and Walt moving to NYC for the summer to discover their dreams after Carrie and Sebastian broke up again. I've been missing the show and filling the hole in my TV schedule with watching Sex and the City reruns for the umpteenth time...





Where will Sebastian be years from now, when Sex and the City takes place? 

His character obviously isn't on the show. Austin Butler: I don’t know, that’s interesting.  The [Carrie Diaries writer] Amy B. Harris say he is  just sounds like he would end up in Rome or something—just moving away, not here. Not dealing with this drama because he’s not into the high school problems. I think he finally gets enough of it and heads out—that’s sort of my dream for him.

What are we going to see happen this fall?

AB: I don’t know! I don’t know how, or if, you can recover from that [breakup], so I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do with that. I was shocked when I read the episode. And I was sad by it because I thought, “Oh no, that’s not cool!” Humans make mistakes. From my point of view, if that happened to me I don’t know how I could forgive somebody. When you’re young and that sort of first love, it can be tumultuous because you never think that you’ll survive without that person, so we’ll see what happens.



Happy Weekend

The Carrie Diaries is introducing a familiar face.






In the sophomore season of The Carrie Diaries, the 1980s drama will introduce yet another character from Sex and the City: Samantha Jones, who would become one of Carrie Bradshaw's closest friends.

According to the CW, viewers will see how Carrie and Samantha first met. The role of young Samantha has not yet been cast. (On the HBO comedy, adult Samantha was played by Kim Cattrall.)
Samantha isn't the first Sex and the City character to be introduced on the show. The season-one finale referenced Stanford Blatch, a role that Willie Garson played, as being Bennett's (Jake Robinson) roommate.
"I know exactly how I would like to introduce each of the characters into the show, and he's not going to be the only one, that's for sure," Carrie Diaries executive producer Amy B. Harris hinted to The Hollywood Reporter in April.

One week after the CW renewed the one-hour prequel, the network slotted the modestly-rated Carrie Diaries to a new home on the fall schedule. Led by AnnaSophia Robb in the title role, the series will kick off what the CW is calling "stylish" and "fashionable" Fridays with model competition America's Next Top Model following at 9 p.m.
