Friends, we come to the final “XOXO”. ‘Gossip Girl’ has been canceled by HBO Max and there will be no season 3. This has been confirmed by both the platform as Joshua Safran, creator and showrunner of this revival (he had already been showrunner of the original series).
An announced cancellation just when there is a week left until season 2 ends of the series, which started this past December and will end on January 26. Apparently, after being one of the most viewed series on the platform, at least the first season (of 2021), this second season has not convinced Warner executives.
Halfway between the sequel, the revival and expansion of the series of the two thousand, this new ‘Gossip Girl’ brought in a new generation of teenagers varied and rich and how their lives are affected by the posts of a mysterious and all-knowing blogger. This time we do know who he is.
Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn LindEvan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak, Savannah Lee Smith and Grace Duah form the main cast of the series, with Kristen Bell reprising her role as the voice of Gossip Girl.
Very difficult to find new chain
Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwarz, creators of the original ‘Gossip Girl’, were also involved in this new fiction, being executive producers. On the other hand, Saffron looks somewhat pessimistic around the possibility of the series continuing in some way, considering it a battle against all odds:
«There goes the gossip: it is with the heavy heart that I have to announce that Gossip Girl will not continue on HBO Max. The EPs and I will be forever grateful to the network and the studio for their faith and support; to the screenwriters for their twisted brains and dexterous talents; to the superstar cast for being the greatest collaborators and friends; and the team for their hard work, dedication and love for the project. This was honestly the biggest set I’ve ever worked on, totally.
We are currently looking for another house, but in this climate that can be a battle against all odds, so if this is the end, at least we get out at the best of times. Thank you all for watching and I hope you’ll watch the finale next Thursday to see how it all turns out. xoxo
P.S. A big thank you to all the GG fans around the world. You are the reason we came back and who knows, maybe the reason we will see each other again. Lots of love.”
