The premiere date for the upcoming Gossip Girl reboot has been confirmed.
According to showrunner Joshua Safran, the HBO Max series will hit our screens in – drum roll please – July!
Just like the original, which ran for six seasons between 2007 and 2012 on The CW, the reboot will focus on the privileged lives of several students in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
“Eight years after the original website went dark, a new generation of New York private school teens are introduced to the social surveillance of Gossip Girl,” reads an official synopsis.
“The prestige series will address just how much social media and the landscape of New York itself has changed in the intervening years.”

White House hopefuls may want to steer clear of Classic Stage Company next week: Not one or even two, but three casts of the dark musical “Assassins” are massing.
With a unique fundraising event, the off-Broadway powerhouse is celebrating the Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman show about the men and women who killed or tried to kill the president of the United States.
Cast members of the 1990 world premiere will join virtually with the 2004 Tony-winning revival, as well as the cast of the upcoming Classic Stage Company production for an hourlong filmed program on April 15 that mixes memories and music, exploring the show from the actors’ points of view.
“To hear these different companies of actors three generations of actors, really communicating about the same roles, it’s a pretty unique situation. It’s not something that you get the chance to do very often,” said the company s Tony Award-winning Artistic Director John Doyle.
Other celebrities will include André De Shields, Raúl Esparza, Audra McDonald and George Takei. There will be one person participating with an intimate knowledge of the White House: Hillary Clinton.
Clinton has been a big booster of theater and took in the last Broadway performance of Doyle s “A Color Purple” in 2017. A request was put to her office and Clinton quickly responded that she was on board.
