First look trailer released for Gossip Girl reboot

"You've gotten so comfortable," she says. "Thinking you're in control of your image, your actions, the narrative.

"But you forgot one thing – I can see you. And before I'm through I'll make sure you see you too. Xoxo."

The teaser also offers fans a first glimpse at many of the new characters, with cast members Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak and Savannah Lee Smith all featuring.

The rebooted series is set to begin airing in the US on 8th July on HBO Max – although there's not been confirmation of any details pertaining to a UK release at this stage.

The reboot was first announced back in July 2019, with the new 10-episode Limited Series penned by original executive producer Joshua Safran based on both the previous series and the Cecily von Ziegesar novels that served as the original inspiraton.

According to HBO, the series will take "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 show - which was originally intended to air in 2020 before being delayed by the pandemic – will apparently "address just how much social media – and the landscape of New York itself – has changed in the intervening years."

Gossip Girl originally aired on The CW (and ITV2 in the UK) between 2007 and 2012, starring Blake Lively, Penn Badegely, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick as privileged Upper East Side adolescents whose secrets were revealed by a mysterious blogger.

Gossip Girl will air later in 2021. If you’re looking for more to watch, check out our TV guide.
