The CW scored major viewer points this weekend when they announced that Doctor Who and Torchwood alum Freema Agyeman will be joining the cast of its planned pilot The Carrie Diaries, a prequel, of sorts, to the Sex & The City series.
Deadline reports that The Carrie Diaries is based on Candace Bushnell’s novel, and chronicles Carrie Bradshaw’s coming of age in the 1980s when she asks her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan. Agyeman will play the role of Larissa, Carrie’s mentor, a hip, cutting-edge editor/party girl who works at Interview magazine.
More recently, Agyeman has been seen as attorney Alesha Phillips, on ITV's Law & Order: UK.

Slight correction: it's Mickey Smith, not Mikey Smith.

The only reason I would watch Dr. Who was because of her. Now you're telling me that I'm forced to watch The Carrie Diaries too?

I loved her in Law & Order UK too and as a fellow brit I hope she keeps her british accent in this role. :)
