The "Gossip Girl" reboot flipped the script on a familiar plot straight out of the gate when it revealed the title character's true identity to viewers at the start of its first season, so it's only fitting that the series concludes by exposing her to the rest of the world. But he made sure to send the show off with the juiciest ending that only Gossip Girl herself could drum up. 19, a week before the show's season two (and series) finale. Creator and showrunner Joshua Safran broke the sad news on social media on Jan. Gossip Girl season 2, part one is available to stream on HBO Max.Hey, Upper East Siders, it's officially the end of the road for "Gossip Girl." After only two seasons on HBO Max, the scandalous revival is, unfortunately, bidding viewers farewell following its surprising cancellation. In the voice of Gossip Girl-you know you love her. She is the true wild card of the show and Smith’s delivery of the witty teen props her to be someone you just can’t help to root for no matter how difficult it is made for you to prefer otherwise. The trailer creates an illusion that the one to watch out for is Monet when in actuality, everyone is a danger to each other. Monet accepts that she’s the villain, but everyone involved has personified the role of Blair Waldorf in some way. While watching this new season, one thing that changed my mind after watching the trailer is that there are two truths. The joke is that the pair face the same direction in the mirror. Camille’s developed storyline as a mother and businesswoman is supposed to vilify her character and, as one of the only Black women in the show propelled in a hierarchy, it weaponizes this against someone like Kate. As Kate and Camille are supposed to lay on opposite spectrums, representing the pH balance of good and evil-Monet is the outlier. Monet is the fine line between Kate Keller, the face behind Gossip Girl, and her mother Camille de Haan. Monet’s character represents true struggles that Black women have gone through, as it’s considerably easier to be strong than to ever admit when you can be weak. “I want to be loved,” she states in one of the episodes alongside Luna during her Valentine’s Day party. Monet’s need to be evil is in projection about the emptiness of love. Even through her timeless attempts to overshadow Julien, there’s a deep vulnerability and a characterization that makes her exciting to watch. While everyone else may lie about their individual wants, Monet possesses qualities no one else does. Monet focused her efforts of superiority on doing the dirty laundry for Julien so the influencer would get to soak in the sunshine without ever worrying about the consequences. A fairy Godmother if you will, alongside the sharp Luna La (Zion Moreno)-Julien’s other right-hand woman. To refresh, Monet spent her character introductions in the first season being used as the publicist of Julien. And it’s a thrill to watch a star be born in Savannah Smith, the actor who plays her. Yet, Monet de Haan is the real snake in the grass. As such, she’s been branded an It Girl to all. Julien’s the queen of Constance, reigning with influence over beauty and fashion choices. This reprised version of Gossip Girl boils the pot of what defines a hero and the opposing antagonist, as viewers were infringed to believe that Julien would be the rising phoenix to take on the catty legacy of Blair Waldorf. Barbara Nitke/HBO MaxĪs season two heavily spreads the load of drama, it takes a dive into what it means to be a villain and underscores it with money and wealth-everyone will get a bit ugly. Feuds reach a crescendo and the finale of the first season implies that there won’t be a happy ending for everyone. As Gossip Girl pries on their every move, secrets are exposed (the burgeoning throuple between Aki, Audrey, and Max, and the post-protest make-out session Obie has with Julien even if he’s with her little sister). This catalyst sparks many twists and turns as the revival of the page collides with many lives, but mostly, Julien Calloway (Jordan Alexander), the pronounced queen of the school and her wealthy Scooby Doo Gang. Their mission? To teach these teenagers a lesson they won’t learn in the curriculum: shame. Thus, the teachers decide to revamp the Gossip Girl blog that began during the original series. The reboot kicked off with the resentful faculty of Constance Billard who’ve become tired of being undermined, unseen and discredited by the elites and their privileged children. Season one took place in 2021, 14 years since the original series aired in 2007. Here’s How to Watch the ‘Gossip Girl’ Reboot For Free to See the New Upper East Siders
