While some TV shows are set to be back for a new year, others got axed- some that fans likely did not see coming.

Lindsey Gort has been cast as Samantha Jones in The CW's The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to HBO's Sex and the City. In the first promotional photo, Gort channels her new character, who has a rock'n'roll edge and is seen wearing a crop top and studded belt.

CW's series "The Carrie Diaries" is set to premiere on Monday and the network's version of a soap opera will be a toned down spin off of HBO's "Sex and The City."
