Gossip Girl launched stars Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen and Ed Westwick into instant fame soon after the series' premiere.
Rumors began swirl that the CW teen drama was returning to the network back in February 2019.
“There’s a discussion, but I don’t know if we’re there yet,” president of the CW Mark Pedowitz told reporters at the Television Critics Association winter press tour at the time. “I don’t know what it would be. A lot is up to Warner Brothers and Josh and Steph because we don’t want to do anything without them."
