Gossip Girl Reboot Drops Trailer And Release Date! Cast, Plot and Rumours!

Gossip Girl has had a long and successful run; on the CW Network, but it is finally coming to an end. The show follows the lives of five best friends, who are all students at a prestigious New York City; private school called Constance Billard School for Girls. Gossip Girl is set in an elite world; of Manhattan’s Upper East Side with characters that have been privileged enough to grow up in this area; and go to school together. The series ended its 6 year-span last season on May 16th, 2012, with a total of 88 episodes aired.

But now, there may be hope! A reboot of Gossip Girl was announced by author Cecily von Ziegesar herself, as well as Warner Bros., which produced the original series.

Trailer:

The trailer for the reboot; was released at New York Comic-Con last week, which gave us some exciting insights into what to expect from Gossip Girl’s new run on TV. We’ve seen glimpses of old favourites like Serena Van Der Woodsen (Blake Lively)and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) but have also been introduced to a whole host of newcomers who are set to shake things up between these two iconic Upper East Side girls. One of the main new additions is Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg), who will be one of Serena’s rivals in this Gossip Girl world.

Release Date:

The Gossip Girl reboot has been scheduled to air on 20th July 2021 at 0900pm ET/PT! This series will have a total of 12 episodes and should last for about three months before coming to an end again.

Rumours:

There are rumours that some of your favourite characters may return, including Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley). Matt Ward was also spotted filming scenes with Blake Lively, so it might not just be him. After all, could we see Penn Badgley make his way back into our TV screens?

How many episodes are there in total?

There are currently 12 planned out with this project so far. That means that by the time we get near to the finale date, then only one or two episodes may remain depending on how long they want each episode to go for (which would also depend on advertising). This series could potentially go up as high as 16 episodes, depending on how things go.

Some people say that Gossip Girl is the best show ever made, while others think it’s just another teenage drama for young girls to fawn over and obsess with. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!

How many seasons are there of Gossip Girl?

There were six seasons filmed back when Gossip girl was originally broadcasted from 2007-2012 – these series ran until 2012 before being canceled after a rocky final season which left fans feeling dissatisfied (though they did produce 22 episodes). But this time around, we’re only planning out 12, so even if we get an abrupt finish, then at least everyone will be satisfied.

The Gossip Girl Reboot Cast is finally here!

Lily Luu as Serena Van Der Woodsen – Kristen Bell’s daughter and Rachel Bilson’s best friend on The O.C., was cast to play the iconic character of Serena, played by Blake Lively in the original series.

Grace Victoria Cox will be playing Blair Waldorf, another one of the four main characters from Gossip Girl. She starred in Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle In Time for Disney earlier this year alongside Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon.

Ed Westwick, who plays Chuck Bass, will also feature in the rebooted show with a new role: Nate Archibald’s cousin.

The Series will have a Twist:

“There was not a lot of representation the first time around on the show,” Safran said. “I was the only gay writer, I think, the entire time I was there. Even when I went to a private school in New York in the ’90s, the school didn’t necessarily reflect what was on Gossip Girl. So, this time around, the leads are nonwhite. There’s a lot of queer content on this show. It is very much dealing with the way the world looks now, where wealth and privilege come from, and how you handle that. The thing I can’t say is there is a twist, and that all relates to the twist.”
