Gossip Girl Reboot to hit HBO Max this July

Ever since WarnerMedia ordered a revival of the cult American teen drama 'Gossip Girl' back in July 2019, ardent fans have been awaiting its release as it comes after a decade of the original series' conclusion. Although called a "Reboot", producer Josh Schwart confirmed that Gossip Girl Reboot will be a continuation of the original story at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in 2019. After announcing its revival, the shooting of the highly-anticipated series went on floors in New York in March 2020 and was soon halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Later, Gossip Girl Reboot's shoot was resumed in November last year and the series is finally all set to premiere on the streaming Giant HBO Max in July this year. On April 28, showrunner Joshua Safran took to his Twitter handle to post a picture from the sets of his upcoming show and shared an anecdote from his school days. He wrote, "Today, shooting in the room where my high school prom was! Gossip Girl is a wild tour." In the following tweet, Joshua added, "Oh hi also: show drops in July."
