00:00Sex and the City is heading to HBO's biggest streaming rival.
00:03All six seasons of the Emmy-winning series are set to stream on Netflix for the first time.
00:08The licensing deal is part of a content agreement that HBO's parent company,
00:12Warner Brothers Discovery, made with Netflix last July.
00:14But Sex and the City was not originally announced as part of that package.
00:18The series launched in 1998 and starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristen Davis,
00:22Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall as four friends in New York City.
00:25I've been dating since I was 15. I'm exhausted. Where is he?
00:28Wait. Who? The White Knight?
00:30That only happens in fairy tales.
00:32My hair hurts.
00:34While Netflix is getting all 94 episodes of the original show,
00:37the streamer is not getting the Sex and the City movies or its current sequel series and Just Like That, at least not yet.
00:43This is hardly the first time HBO has licensed the show,
00:46as Sex and the City has previously been on broadcast syndication, basic cable, and even Amazon Prime.
00:51But what makes this news notable is that HBO had avoided letting Netflix license its shows until last year.
00:56Other HBO shows that were previously announced as part of the content agreement with Netflix include
01:00Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Six Feet Under, Ballers, Insecure, and True Blood.
