First, this sequel won’t be anything like the ensemble show we’ve grown to love. Instead of following the original six main characters—Blair, Serena, Dan, Nate, Chuck, and Jenny—the story will focus mainly on one: Blair.
Second, this sequel is coming in book form. Earlier this month, Deadline reported that the new standalone novel, titled Blair, has been sold.
So what’s it about? Blair picks up 20 years after the original bestselling Gossip Girl series. “Think Blair Waldorf in her 40s…as she returns to the Big Apple to climb her way back to the top of Upper East Side food chain,” the outlet reports.
My thoughts? Honestly, I’m here for it. I started reading the series in middle school, long before it became one of the CW’s flagship shows and I can’t wait to see Blair’s story continue.
And (hopefully) the novel will eventually become a new series as well, which will give them a chance to bring back Leighton Meester, the actress who first brought Blair to life on screen.
