October 29th 2024.
The wait is finally over – Gossip Girl is officially back on our screens! Fans around the world can rejoice as their favorite group of Upper East Siders, and of course Lonely Boy, have returned to Netflix. It's been far too long since we've seen these characters and we've truly missed them.
For those who may not remember, Gossip Girl ran for six seasons between 2007 and 2012, captivating audiences with its scandalous tales of Manhattan's elite. Starring Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, and Chace Crawford, the show quickly became a fan favorite.
But in 2021, viewers were left raging when the show was removed from the US version of Netflix and found a new home on HBO Max. Thankfully, Gossip Girl never left the UK version of the streaming platform, but now it's back on the US version as well. That means everyone can now catch up with the drama, love triangles, and fashion of Blair Waldorf and her friends.
The news was confirmed by Netflix themselves on their official Twitter account earlier this month. In the tweet, they wrote, "Spotted: Gossip Girl Seasons 1-6 coming to Netflix in the US on October 29." Fans were ecstatic to hear the announcement and have been counting down the days until the show's return.
Gossip Girl was based on the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar and was adapted by the creators of The OC. It gave fans an inside look into the lives of ridiculously wealthy and popular high schoolers at Constance Billard St Jude's. The show also launched the careers of its stars, with Blake Lively and Penn Badgley becoming household names thanks to their roles as Serena van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey.
Meanwhile, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick perfectly portrayed the iconic characters of Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass, ruling the school with their power and influence. The dynamics between these characters, as well as their friends and frenemies, kept viewers on the edge of their seats, always wondering what scandal or bombshell would be revealed next.
Of course, the show wouldn't be complete without the mysterious blogger known as "Gossip Girl", voiced by Kristen Bell. "She" would constantly tease and reveal the secrets of these young socialites, keeping the audience hooked and wanting more.
The show also boasted an incredible ensemble cast, including Jessica Szhor, Kelly Rutherford, Matthew Settle, and Taylor Momsen. Some notable guest stars also made appearances, such as Sebastian Stan, Armie Hammer, Sam Page, Hilary Duff, and Michelle Trachtenberg.
Gossip Girl was a huge success and even spawned a spin-off series of the same name. However, the spin-off only lasted two seasons before being canceled by HBO in 2023.
The original Gossip Girl currently holds an impressive 84% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with many praising the show's first season and pilot episode. Fans also have high praise for the series, with many calling it their favorite show of all time. The intense drama, passionate relationships, and of course, the impeccable style, have all contributed to the show's lasting popularity.
