Gossip Girl‘s gone prestige. Less than a decade after the original CW series went off the air in 2012, showrunner Joshua Safran has revived the beloved teen drama for the social media era, installed a new cast, and drenched it all in decadence.
It’s fitting that the new Gossip Girl should find its way to HBO Max, the prestige network’s steadily growing streaming service, given the production value the show demanded. As Safran explained to Vulture, the old Gossip Girl was the new girl in town. “The first time, there were no expectations,” he said. “Nobody knew what the show was. We had to beg every location to let us shoot there.” This time, Gossip Girl‘s the It Girl.
You won’t find carbon copies of Serena van der Woodsen, Dan Humphrey, or Blair Waldorf in the new GG, but rather a new breed of clout-chasers wearing Christopher John Rogers and toting around shopping bags from Net-A-Porter. But, just like their older counterparts, they’re being watched: A new iteration of the old Gossip Girl blog has joined Instagram, and it seems to know everything about Julien Calloway, her half-sister Zoya Lott, and the brewing drama at Constance Billard and St. Jude’s.
The Gossip Girl revival premiered its first episode on July 8 on HBO Max, and the following five episodes landed every Friday through August 12. The series is now taking a hiatus before dropping the final installments in the fall, starting in November. Here’s how the lineup looks so far:
- Episode 1: “Just Another Girl on the MTA” streaming as of July 8
- Episode 2: “She’s Having a Maybe” streaming as of July 15
- Episode 3: “Lies Wide Shut” streaming as of July 22
