The American teen television drama series "Gossip Girl" has been given a make-over with a brand new cast. Developed by Joshua Safran for HBO Max, it is an extension and a standalone sequel to The CW television series of the same name which was based on the novel series written by Cecily von Ziegesar.

The new series is narrated by Kristen Bell, who reprised her role as the voice of "Gossip Girl", an anonymous and omniscient blogger. The series features an ensemble cast led by Jordan Alexander, Whitney Peak, Tavi Gevinson, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zión Moreno, and Savannah Lee Smith.

It was given a straight-to-series order in July 2019 by HBO Max. Filming took place in New York City and was originally scheduled to begin in March 2020 before being delayed to November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
