Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book series by Cecily von Ziegesar, “Gossip Girl” is a one-hour drama based on the lives of privileged Manhattan prep school teens. The students first learn that Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), once the Upper East Side's most notorious party girl, is back in town the way they learn all the important news in their lives -- from the blog of the all-knowing, albeit ultra-secretive, Gossip Girl. No one knows Gossip Girl's identity, but everyone in this exclusive and complicated vicious circle relies on her website and text messages for the latest scoop. Even Serena's closest friend, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), is surprised to find that Serena has suddenly ended her self-imposed exile to boarding school and returned to Manhattan. Keeping track of the shifting friendships, jealousies and turmoil in this wealthy and complex world isn't easy, but it's what Gossip Girl does best!
“'Gossip Girl’ has a built-in fan base with readers of the wildly successful book series of the same name with over 5.3 million copies in print,” said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing. “Everyone is talking about this hot new show, which has received passionate praise from every corner.
