The new TV series will follow a young Carrie Bradshaw as she finds her feet in Manhattan, helped along the way by Freema's party girl character Larissa - 'a hip, cutting-edge editor/party girl who works at Interview magazine.'

A show insider revealed: 'This is the biggest role of Freema's career. She's done fabulously well to get it due to some very strong competition.'

The 32-year-old actress, who played The Doctor's companion Martha Jones from 2006- 2008, is currently starring in Law and Order.
