Gossip Girl part 2 UK return date confirmed

Gossip Girl fans rejoice! Part two of the Gossip Girl reboot, featuring an all-new cast of Gen Z Upper East Siders, is finally airing in the UK.

Series one of the reboot was split into two halves, with the first half airing weekly from July 8 until August 12 and the second half dropping in two lots on November 25 and December 2 respectively on US channel HBO Max.

BBC iPlayer has the UK distribution rights for the show, but there was no word as to when part two would make its way to the website, as only six episodes are available to stream currently.

Luckily, we won't have to wait long, as BBC iPlayer have revealed that all of part two of Gossip Girl will be available on the platform from New Year's Day – a perfect way to kick off 2022.

Assuming many of us will be hungover on New Year's Day, Gossip Girl is the perfect thing to keep us company while we stay in bed. Part two of the reboot will join all of the original Gossip Girl episodes, and part one, which are available to watch at any time for licence fee payers.

What to Read Next

The new version of Gossip Girl takes a lot of inspiration from the original, and even references it both directly and indirectly, but is much more diverse in its casting and begins with a new premise: the teachers at an elite Manhattan private school revive the Gossip Girl account to spread juicy details about their students, but as social media has changed so drastically in the intervening years, anything could happen.

The original 'Gossip Girl' Kirsten Bell has returned to narrate the show, and characters from the original show have made appearances throughout the season.

Gossip Girl will be returning for a second season, likely in mid-2022, so fans have plenty of time to catch up on the 'goss'.

Gossip Girl airs on HBO Max in the US, and broadcasts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
