You know you love her: Gossip Girl returns to Netflix US in October 2024

by

As a die-hard fan who grew up with the Upper East Side elite, I couldn’t be more thrilled! The return of Gossip Girl to Netflix US on October 29 feels like a long-awaited reunion with old friends. I remember staying up late as a teenager, eagerly awaiting each new episode, and now I get to relive those memories all over again.

The buzz around town is that fans of the beloved show “Gossip Girl” will be thrilled with this latest news from Netflix. With whispers swirling all summer about the return of the popular teen drama series on American Netflix, the streaming platform has at last confirmed a release date!

Starting Tuesday, October 29th, all six seasons of the original Gossip Girl from The CW will be available on Netflix US once more. Previously, Netflix had been its streaming home, but it moved exclusively to Max. Over the past year, the series has been returning to Netflix in various parts of the world, and now it’s time for U.S. viewers to re-experience every exciting moment.

Netflix announced that Gossip Girl will be back on American streaming platforms starting October 1st, which seems fitting as interest in the show has never been higher due to its continued cultural relevance. The series remains a hot topic in popular conversations through various memes (you know the ones!) and its cast members making headlines with their latest ventures such as acting roles, podcasts, and even haircare lines.

Originally airing on The CW in September 2007, “Gossip Girl” ran for six seasons and 121 episodes, concluding in December 2012. Co-created by Josh Schwartz, who also brought us “The O.C”, and Stephanie Savage, the duo expressed joy that fans, both old and new, can now stream the show on Netflix, courtesy of Tudum.

I’m thrilled that long-time fans can reconnect with their beloved Constance Billard-St. Jude’s companions, while also extending a warm invitation to the newcomers: “I’m looking forward to fans getting together with their old friends and embarking on that iconic growing-up adventure once more. And for those who haven’t seen it before — welcome to the Upper East Side!

At the same time, Savage expressed her amazement as she observed the enduring influence of the TV show “Gossip Girl” shaping contemporary language. However, she failed to mention a specific meme trend that gained popularity and went viral a few years back.

I love coming across a new meme or an Instagram post that doesn’t even need to reference the names of the characters or the show — it’s just Blair Waldorf holding shopping bags in front of Pont Alexandre III. And the fan art is amazing — the family Thanksgiving videos to Jason Derulo’s ‘Whatcha Say’? Thanks, internet!

The show made an attempt to return, with Max giving it a new start under the same title and set in the original universe. Despite managing to gather a dedicated fan base, the reboot was unfortunately terminated after just two seasons. However, given the enduring appeal of this franchise, it’s clear that the scheming antics of our social media gossip columnist aren’t likely to disappear anytime soon.

As you eagerly anticipate re-watching “Gossip Girl” on October 29, don’t forget to check out Netflix’s new romantic comedy series “Nobody Wants This”. Starring Kristen Bell, who narrated “Gossip Girl”, and Adam Brody, Leighton Meester’s real-life husband, it makes an ideal choice for a binge-watch. This should get you in the mood for the nostalgic joy of one of the greatest teen dramas ever made.
