People magazine quotes the popular show's executive producer Michael Patrick King as saying, 'Nothing we did in the series was altered to save something for the movie.'
King added, 'This is exactly the way we wanted to end the series [its last episode was on February 22]. We're proud of what we did.'
But Sex will still be around via cable. The network TBS will reportedly show an edited version of the show next June. It will run for 15 months. Following that, it will be the turn of Tribune Co, to air the show throughout its stations over the country.
Sarah Jessica Parker, 38, who played the New York relationships columnist Carrie Bradshaw, and is also the show's executive producer, says, 'I am not sad about a larger audience. Part of me is happy that people who could not afford HBO will now have the opportunity to meet the four women whose love lives were chronicled on the show.'
Were Sex to have been made a feature film, it would have been the Emmy-winning King's (he directed The Real Me) first feature.
