Where to start with Sex and the City

Release order is story order for everything that counts, so this is mostly a question of what complete means. Ninety-four episodes, then two films, then thirty-three more episodes made seventeen years after the series ended. The prequel is not part of that line and can be left out without missing anything.

  1. 1
    Sex and the City, season 1 Sex and the City

    Twelve episodes and half an hour each, the shortest season of the six. It is also the only one that keeps stopping to interview strangers on the street to camera, a device dropped afterwards, so it does not sound quite like the rest of the show.

  2. 2
    Sex and the City, season 5 Sex and the City

    Seasons two, three and four run straight through with nothing to decide, eighteen episodes each. Five is eight episodes rather than eighteen, shortened around Sarah Jessica Parker's pregnancy, so a gap in the running order is the schedule rather than anything missing.

  3. 3
    Sex and the City, season 6 Sex and the City

    Twenty episodes, broadcast in two halves six months apart, which is why some listings split it into 6A and 6B. It ends the series properly, and it is a perfectly good place to stop for good.

  4. 4
    Sex and the City: The Movie Sex and the City: The Movie

    Two and a half hours, set four years after the finale, and the story it tells is one the series had already resolved once. It is the first thing here that is optional.

  5. 5
    Sex and the City 2 Sex and the City 2

    Set two years after the first film and the last thing made with all four leads together. Badly reviewed on release and the usual stopping point for people who do not want the revival.

Then what? And Just Like That..., thirty-three episodes across three seasons from December 2021 to August 2025, with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis but not Kim Cattrall. It ended on purpose rather than being cancelled, so there is a real finale at the end of it. The Carrie Diaries sits outside all of this and can be watched at any point or not at all. There is no third film: one was in development and was cancelled in 2017.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
