His days of typing on a laptop precariously perched on top of a newspaper box are done. The new HBO Max Gossip Girl revival premiered this summer, introducing audiences to a new cast of super-rich, super-mature-for-their-age characters.
But some things stayed the same: The Gossip Girl narration is still performed by Kristen Bell, and unlike some streaming shows, the new episodes are released on a weekly basis—just like the original series on The CW.
The first season of the revival includes 12 episodes, but only half of the schedule dropped throughout the summer. Fans were told that the second part of the season would air this fall, and the series did not disappoint: The release date for the first episode of part 2 is officially here.
Here are the release dates that we know so far for the second half of the episodes hopefully, these episode names will all feature punny movie titles like the first half did :. Goofs All entries contain spoilers. Quotes Blair Waldorf : 3 words, 8 letters. Connections Featured in Gossip Girl Couture User reviews Review. Top review. Strangely Addicting Amoral Guilty Pleasure. I binged this show on Netflix and found it quite addicting, even when it became increasingly farcical in the later seasons.
While the characters and story lines could be silly at points I have to say the acting was better than on most teen shows. I loved the fashion, the NY setting, and the music.
I adored the copious film references as well. While the non-stop bed hopping and relationship merry go round got annoying, one of the main couples has the best chemistry I've seen on any television show in years. This one relationship really carries the show emotionally and makes it worth watching until the end to see how it is resolved.
It's hyper-realistic. A fantastical soap opera if you will. If you're the type of person that gets annoyed over characters traveling from Brooklyn to the UES in 15 minutes don't watch. You'll go mad. It's not a show with warm fuzzy ethical teen show protagonists like Sandy or Seth Cohen. I was a big fan of The OC. This show has some similarities but is much darker and much more satirical.
The characters on Gossip Girl that you expect to be the moral center the "poor outsiders" end up being quite devious while the clearly wicked rich bad characters end up being the most emotionally compelling.
Every lead character is gray. If you need a show with clearly delineated heroes and villains don't watch. You'll hate everyone by the end. It's not a show with a moral code. It neither reflects traditional conservative values nor progressive liberal values.
If you need a show that promotes "good values" of either kind, I'd stay away. It deviates wildly from the books. If that matters to you, stay away. But if you want a glossy glitzy glamorous guilty pleasure filled with beautiful people like Chace Crawford and Blake Lively, tons of drama, fashion, and some over the top but emotionally compelling characters and relationships?

Never say never! Chace Crawford told Digital Spy that he would "absolutely cameo" if a reboot featured new characters. Penn Badgley , who now stars in Netflix's You, seemed ambivalent.
And I guess it would just depend on a lot of things," he said in December It also seems unlikely that the OG Serena van der Woodsen will make a cameo.

In an interview for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , Kristen Bell, who is returning to her OG role as the mysterious voice of Gossip Girl, also hinted at the "really different" twist at the end of the reboot's pilot episode that fans should look out for.
Moylan also revealed to Cosmopolitan that "Gossip Girl has gone from blogger to something more like an all-encompassing social media platform.
The description is intentionally vague. People also won't be wondering who the anonymous poster is this time around. Schwartz told E! News that it would be more interesting to highlight "this idea that we are all Gossip Girl now, in our own way, that we are all purveyors of our own social media surveillance state.
Safran also told Vulture that the new storyline will better reflect the diversity of youth in New York City even if the series is still set among Manhattan's elite , with "nonwhite" lead roles and "a lot of queer content. How amazing is that?
