Developed by Joshua Safran, Gossip Girl is an American teen drama streaming television series. It is an extension and a standalone sequel to The CW television series of the same name which is based on the novel series written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The executive producers of the show are Joshua Safran, Stephanie Savage, Josh Schwartz, Leslie Morgenstein, Gina Girolamo and Karena Evans.
Gossip Girl premiered on HBO Max on July 8 to mixed reviews, and broke the record for the most-watched HBO Max original series over its launch weekend. The first season consisted of 12 episodes, split into two six-episode parts, with the second half debuting on November 25, 2021. In September 2021, the series was renewed for a second season.
So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who would come back to reprise their roles? Continue reading to know further details.
Gossip Girl Plot and Cast
Season 1 left plenty of storylines open, so you can expect some of those to be closed in season two. Of course, the sisters’ story will still take up a considerable amount of attention. And Safran teased on Twitter that things will be “DEFINITELY messier” this season.
When asked what the biggest change was going to be this season, the showrunner tweeted: “The things I said we wouldn’t do in S1, a certain character makes us do in S2.”
Since nobody has disappeared or died yet, the main cast is returning for season two. That includes Whitney Peak, Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, et al. Kristen Bell will also make her return as our faithful narrator.
Gossip Girl Season 2 Release Date
No tentative release date has yet been announced for Gossip Girl Season 2, but once again, Safran has teased HBO Max does have a target in mind that he can’t share just yet.
The episode numbers have not been disclosed yet, though it would be safe to assume the number of episodes would be similar to that of season 1.
Gossip Girl Season 2 Trailer
At the moment, there’s no trailer for Gossip Girl Season 2. The only teaser we have is the 13-second clip teasing the return of Georgina.
