The news of CW’s hit show “Gossip Girl” being rebooted had fans of the original series in awe. Nine years after the original series finale, “Gossip Girl (2021)” is returning. The new HBO max reboot will deal with a new group of students from Upper-East Side Manhattan in Constance Billard.
The original teen drama started way back in 2007 and concluded with its sixth and final season airing in 2012.
The revival was first announced in July 2019, and according to Deadline, production of the series began in November 2020. “Gossip Girl (2021)” premieres on July 8 on HBO Max. The show will also be available on other streaming services for Canada, the UK, and Australia.

Joshua Safran, the showrunner for Gossip Girl (2021), confirmed more diversity in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Safran mentioned:
“This time around, the leads are non-white. 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.”
