‘Gossip Girl’ reboot gets a sexy Gen Z update from creator Joshua Safran
new incarnation on HBO Max. Premiering July 8 and set in the same scandal-filled world of exclusive Manhattan prep schools, the series features an all-new cast of characters. It’s peppered with references to the original, even as the gossip-hound spills secrets in a new social media format.“I kind of came into this show with a whole list of things that I felt were prevalent in culture [now] and areas that I wanted to look at,” creator Joshua Safran, who was also an executive producer on the original show, told The Post. These areas include cyberbullying and the life cycle of an online rumor, as well as more racial and sexual diversity among the cast and characters.
