Then the first part of the rebooted series (six episodes), will be released on Wednesday, 25 August.

The Gossip Girl reboot explores just how much social media — and the landscape of New York itself — has changed in the intervening years.
Developed by showrunner Joshua Safran, a writer and executive producer on the original series, the new series of the pop culture classic takes us back to the Upper East Side finding a new generation of New York private school teens being introduced to social surveillance nine years after the original blogger’s website went dark.
The series is based on the bestselling novels by Cecily von Ziegesar and the original show, developed by Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage.
The reboot stars Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak and Savannah Lee Smith.
Gossip Girl originally ran for six seasons between 2007 and 2012 with a cast starring Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford , Taylor Momsen, Ed Westwick, Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle.
