(May 27, 2009 – Burbank, CA) – The sophomore season of one of television’s hottest properties graduates to DVD when Warner Home Video releases “Gossip Girl: The Complete Second Season” on August 18, 2009. Developed for television by Josh Schwartz (“Chuck,” “The O.C.”) and Stephanie Savage (“The O.C.”), “Gossip Girl” stars Blake Lively (“New York,” “I Love You”), Leighton Meester (“Entourage”), Penn Badgley (“Forever Strong”), Chace Crawford (“The Haunting of Molly Hartley”), Taylor Momsen (“We Were Soldiers”), Ed Westwick (“Children of Men”), Jessica Szohr (“What About Brian”), with Kelly Rutherford (“Melrose Place”) and Matthew Settle (“Brothers & Sisters”). The second season of “Gossip Girl” enjoyed a 43% increase in ratings among women 18–34.
The seven-disc set includes all 25 episodes from the second season and nearly four hours of special features, including all-new featurettes, unaired scenes, gag reel, and a downloadable audiobook of “Gossip Girl: You Know You Love Me” by Cecily von Ziegesar, read by Christina Ricci. “Gossip Girl: The Complete Second Season” is priced to own on DVD at $59.98 SRP and has an order due date of July 14, 2009.
It’s senior year for our beloved Upper East Siders, and the drama is at an all-time high. Applying for college is only one small part of the story, as new romances (and some not-so-new romances) bloom and fade, scandals erupt at every turn and alliances shift even faster than Gossip Girl can send an update. Families and reputations are destroyed and made; so are fortunes. And even the strongest friendships are tested. In this sizzling season two, you never know what’s next for Serena, Blair, Dan, Nate, Jenny, Chuck and Vanessa. Good thing Gossip Girl is always there to provide us with the latest, juiciest info!
