Gossip Girl was one of the most popular television shows of the 2000s. The show doesn’t have Lady Whistledown, but what it does have, is a snarky narrator of its own. While Bridgerton is set in the 19th century’s high society in London, if it took place in the 2010s, it would look much similar to Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl is a hit CW series that explores the lives of privileged teenagers in Manhattan as they sabotage each other’s relationships and share secrets and scandals. This teen drama is just as juicy as Bridgerton.
