“Gossip Girl” Reboot Has Been Confirmed

Gossip Girl is the show that made us envious of those who get to lead their lives in New York’s Upper East Side, but at the same time relieved we’re not in the middle of the endless drama that was going on there.

According to Deadline, the reboot plot will start eight years after the original show’s ending, and it’s basically a sequel on the OG series, which means we probably won’t see the return of our favorite characters.

“Eight years after the original website went dark, a new generation of New York private school teens are introduced to the social surveillance of Gossip Girl,” reads a press release, according to Vulture. “The prestige series will address just how much social media—and the landscape of New York itself—has changed in the intervening years.”

The new Gossip Girl will have 10 episodes that will be available on the new streaming service HBO‌ Max. The new characters and actors have not yet been announced. The release date hasn’t been confirmed, but the show’s IMDb listing reads 2020 as the year when it’s going to be released.

Gossip Girl initially ran for 6 seasons from 2007 to 2012 and had 121 episodes.
