When it was announced that the team behind 'Gossip Girl' would bring 'The Carrie Diaries' to the small screen, I was amongst those that were cynical. Prequels and sequels don't tend to go down particularly well but this one is shaping up to be an exception to the rule.

First up were the images of the costumes. 'Sex and the City' is known for the clothes so the fact that Eric Daman did such a good job with those promo shots helped get everyone interested. Now that the trailer has dropped, it looks like the show is going to go down well when it hits screens in January just in time to fill the 'Gossip Girl' hole.

Are you excited?
