Gossip Girl is back! In more ways than one. The original series concluded back in 2012. The twelve episode first season run was split into two six-episode parts, with the second half debuting on November 25, 2021. We waited just over three months for the second half of the season. Then the final six episodes were dumped over 2 weeks.
Shortly after the season took a break, the reboot series was renewed for a second season.
The series is again narrated by Kristen Bell, who reprised her role as the voice of "Gossip Girl", an anonymous and omniscient blogger. However this time (to keep with the times) Gossip Girl lives on Instagram.
There was a moment of some lesser known OG Gossip Girls appear this season. However maybe season two will see Blair or Serena return? This remake stars Jordan Alexander, Whitney Peak, Tavi Gevinson, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zión Moreno, and Savannah Lee Smith.
Evan Mock is extremely handsome as Akeno "Aki" Menzies, who is bisexual and enters a three-way relationship with Audrey and Max. Oh school kids of 2021.
The series is filled with the original series drama, sex (although being on HBO they can push the envelope more) although this time we know exactly who Gossip Girl is. No mystery like the OG series.
Gossip Girl is a super easy watch. I have to say I am happy to have another series off my dance as December is hectic! In Australia Gossip Girl (for the year 2021) streams on Binge.
Until next time, peace out!
