Sex and the City had a lady lawyer as part of Carrie Bradshaw’s posse. The pilot for a new TV show called "Cashmere Mafia" by SATC creator Darren Star presents another fab four babes, including a Wall Street bank managing director….
It stars Lucy Liu, NYPD Blue’s Bonnie Somerville and Aussie actresses Miranda Otto and Frances O’Connor as four high-powered executives who have been mates since college and rely on each other as they juggle their lives.
Miranda will play the boss of a hotel chain, while Frances will play Zoe Burden, the managing director of a Wall Street investment bank.
It might all sound very similar to Sex And The City, but Star insists it will have a more mature spin with a focus on the women’s careers.
"Where "Sex and the City" was about relationships, this show is about women and work," he told the New York Daily News.
"The characters are all friends from business school who are in the power echelons of New York. The show is about their work and how they balance work, family and relationships and in some ways the extra workload that women have to bear in times like this."
