A brand new spin-off of Gossip Girl is set to hit screens - eight years after the adventures of Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Chuck Bass and Nate Archibald.

According to Deadline, the show’s original creative team – Joshua Safran, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage – will collaborate again for a spinoff based on The CW’s hit series. However, so far, no release date or castings have been revealed.

The latest version is set to feature 10 hour-long episodes, which will be able to stream on Warner Media’s upcoming streaming site HBO Max.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Safran revealed that the show will introduce a new generation of New York private school teens to the Gossip Girl site.

Safran told the publication, ‘The prestige series will address just how much social media – and the landscape of New York itself – has changed in the intervening years.’
