Hello, Upper East Siders! You might have been minding your business today, preparing for Memorial Day Weekend — but Gossip Girl's here to blow your mind.
After months of anticipation, we finally have a teaser trailer AND release date for HBO Max's Gossip Girl reboot:
The secret is out. New episodes of Gossip Girl will be available to stream July 8 on HBO Max. See you on the steps. XOXO.
ICYMI, here's an official description of the new series: Eight years after the original website went dark, a new generation of New York private school teens are introduced to the social surveillance of Gossip Girl. The prestige series will address just how much social media — and the landscape of New York itself — has changed in the intervening years.
I have to admit, I don't think I realized how ~excited~ I would feel just hearing Kristen Bell's iconic voice narrating the trailer.
The reboot officially comes to HBO Max on July 8 — which is just a little bit more than a month away! And while the Sidekick phones have been upgraded to iPhones and social media is ~way~ more prominent, this clip is already giving us the Gossip Girl vibes we know and love.
I am personally obsessed with the X O X O motif throughout the entire clip.
And speaking of the XOXO motif, in addition to the trailer, HBO Max also released posters introducing us to all the new characters. There's Max, played by Thomas Doherty:
