“Gossip Girl: The Complete Third Season” On DVD August 24 From Warner Home Video
(June 8, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Spotted: Our beloved Upper East Siders, all grown up. Though high school may be behind most of them, you can be sure a future of love, scandal and, of course, secrets await them as Warner Home Video releases “Gossip Girl: The Complete Third Season” on DVD August 24, 2010. Developed for television by Josh Schwartz ("The O.C.," "Chuck") and Stephanie Savage ("The O.C."), “Gossip Girl” stars many of young Hollywood’s hottest talent, including Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Taylor Momsen, Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, with Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle. The five-disc set includes all 22 episodes from the third season plus nearly an hour and a half of special features including two all-new featurettes, unaired scenes, a gag reel and two exclusive music videos. “Gossip Girl: The Complete Third Season” is priced to own on DVD at $59.98 SRP and has an order due date of July 20, 2010.
Based on the bestselling series of young-adult novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, this drama is told through the eyes of an all-knowing blogger -- Gossip Girl. Via constant, avidly read text messages, this anonymous personality is determined to uncover and fuel every scandal possible on Manhattan's Upper East Side, where gossip rules, and affluent young people find themselves with the money, access and appetite to explore all the temptations New York City has to offer. This season, new characters (including a movie star coed played by Hilary Duff) and some familiar faces (Georgina returns!) bring new love and new dilemmas, while old secrets create new drama. And for both Chuck and Serena, the search for answers from the past brings far more than they bargained for. Hearts are broken and loyalties challenged in this 22-episode, five-disc season three, where things are often not what they seem. Fortunately, Gossip Girl is there to keep track of all the lies, loves and betrayals in store for Serena, Blair, Dan, Nate, Jenny, Chuck and Vanessa.
“Over the last three seasons, 'Gossip Girl' has won a legion of passionate and enthusiastic fans,” said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing. “‘Gossip Girl’ continues to be a consumer favorite and we are delighted to bring this must-see series to DVD with exclusive new extras for all Gossip Girl devotees to own and enjoy.”
The third season of “Gossip Girl” delivered an average of over 2.8 million viewers, ranks as The CW’s number one scripted series among Women 18-34, and is number one in its time slot among Female Teens 12-17. In 2009, the series was nominated for nine Teen Choice Awards and won four, including TV Show: Drama, TV Actor: Drama (Chace Crawford), TV Actress: Drama (Leighton Meester) and TV: Villain (Ed Westwick).
The series is from Fake Empire, Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.
