First look from 'Gossip Girl’ reboot
The reboot of the famous American teen drama 'Gossip Girl'is coming to an end at HBO Max after two seasons. The cancellation was announced on Thursday.
Showrunner Joshua Safran confirmed the news via a social media account. "So here's the goss: it is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to announce GOSSIP GIRL will not be continuing on HBO Max," he wrote.
The reboot of the famous CW show premiered in July 2021.
Sharing a monochrome picture of the cast, he wrote further in the caption: "So here's the goss: it is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to announce GOSSIP GIRL will not be continuing on HBO Max.The EPs and I will forever be grateful to the network and studio for their faith and support; the writers for their devious brains and dexterous talent; the superstar cast for being the greatest of collaborators and friends; and the crew for their hard work, dedication, and love for the project. This was honestly the greatest set I ever worked on, top to bottom.''
"We are currently looking for another home, but in this climate, that might prove an uphill battle, and so if this is the end, at least we went out on the highest of highs. Thank you for watching, and I hope you'll tune into the finale next Thursday to see how it all comes together. xoxo.''
Concluding his message, he wrote, "Ps. A big thank you to all the GG fans around the world. You’re the reason we came back in the first place, and who knows, maybe you're the reason we will meet again. Much love.''
The show, which revolved around the Gen Z's of New York's Upper East Side, was unable to make a lasting impression
on the audience when compared to the original show. The finale of the show will be aired on January 26, 2023.
The show starred Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak, and Savannah Lee Smith, with Todd Almond, Adam Chanler-Berat, Johnathan Fernandez, and Jason Gotay.
The new iteration, written by showrunner Joshua Safran, is based on the same series, which itself is based on a book by Cecily von Ziegesar.
The original show, which starred Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen, Leighton Meester, and Ed Westwick, ran from 2007 to 2012.
