OMFG, you guys! There’s a linear way to watch the first episode of HBO Max‘s Gossip Girl reboot. The CW said today that it will air the premiere at 8 p.m. Friday, July 9 — one day after its debut on the WarnerMedia streamer.
The episode also will stream on the CW’s digital platforms after its TV bow.
Developed by showrunner Joshua Safran, a writer and executive producer on the original series, the new Gossip Girl explores just how much social media — and the landscape of New York itself — has changed since The CW’s original series’ six-season run ended in 2012. It follows a new generation of Upper East Side NYC private-school teens being introduced to social surveillance nine years after the original blogger’s website went dark.
