did gossip girl reboot cancelled by hbo
The showrunner of the Gossip Girl revival, Joshua Safran, announced on social media that the upcoming second season will be the last for the show on HBO Max. He mentioned that they are currently looking for another home for the show, but it may be difficult in the current climate.
The second season finale will air on January 26th and will serve as the series finale. The revival was based on the bestselling novels by Cecily von Ziegesar and the original hit CW show developed by Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz. Despite a strong initial interest and an early second season renewal, the show could not capture the same popularity as the original 2007-2012 series. Safran also hinted that this may not be the end for the Gossip Girl franchise.
gossip girl synopsis
The Gossip Girl revival will not continue beyond its current second season. The upcoming Season 2 finale, airing on January 26th, will serve as the series finale. The show, developed by Joshua Safran, is based on the bestselling novels by Cecily von Ziegesar and the original hit CW series created by Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz, who also served as executive producers on the revival. In a statement, HBO Max expressed gratitude to the showrunner and executive producers for bringing the show back to the Upper East Side and for the captivating love triangles, scheming backstabbing, and stylish fashion that it featured. They also mentioned that they won’t be moving forward with a third season.
The sequel of Gossip Girl had a successful premiere in July 2021, setting a record as the most-watched opening weekend for an original series on HBO Max at the time. It was renewed for a second season before the first season’s second half premiered in November 2021. Despite initial high interest from fans of the original series, the sequel did not achieve the same level of success as the 2007-2012 CW show. However, the second season received better reviews from critics, earning a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating compared to 69% for the first season. Creator, Josh Safran, hinted that the franchise may not be over, expressing gratitude to fans and leaving the possibility open for future installments.
