The series’ official account announced the news on Friday, September 10. “You’ll want to keep your phones close, I won’t be gone for long. [Season one] continues this fall, with [season two] to follow,” read the caption. 

According to Variety, HBO Max renewed the reboot over its “record viewership over its first weekend on the platform,” calling Gossip Girl its “best launch for a Max Original Drama series this year.” 

The 12-episode first season of Gossip Girl is divided into two parts. The first six episodes premiered on HBO Max on July 8, while the remaining six episodes will be released in November.

Season one stars Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak, and Savannah Lee Smith. 

Kristen Bell, who was the voice of the original Gossip Girl in The CW series from 2007 to 2012, also narrates the reboot. Joshua Safran, who wrote and executive produced the original series, is showrunner. 

Variety also reported that a representative from HBO Max said that the number of episodes for the second season and its start of production have yet to be announced. 

Based on the book by Cecily von Ziegesar, the original Gossip Girl was an iconic teen series about rich socialite teens from the Upper East Side under the watchful eye of an unidentified texter who broadcasts their secrets at will. 

The original Gossip Girl series, which ran from 2007 to 2012 for six seasons, gave celebrities Blake Lively (Serena van der Woodsen), Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf), Chase Crawford (Nate Archibald), Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass), and Penn Badgley (Dan Humphrey) their big television break.

The first season of the HBO Max Gossip Girl reboot is available for streaming in the Philippines via HBO Go.  – Rappler.com
