It’s been over eight years since the last episode of the original Gossip Girl aired. Finally, on 8 July, the long-awaited reboot will be available to watch on HBO Max. It’ll have 10 episodes, each an hour long. Original Gossip Girl showrunner, Joshua Safran, will be the writer and executive producer of this extension. Joining him are Josh Shwartz and Stephanie Savage, who were the series’ original creators. Hopefully, this is a sign that the reboot will be on par with the original.
Those involved with the reboot have done a good job of keeping details on the show hush-hush. Fans of the original still have plenty of unanswered questions: Will the original cast be involved? What is the plot of the reboot? What is the show’s “twist”? While we might not have all the answers, here’s what we do know so far.
