So how exactly will a Gossip Girl reboot work in the social media age? The original was essentially an early warning of the real-life ramifications of trolling, and of endlessly sharing every detail of people’s personal lives online.
The new series promises to address how social media has changed in the intervening years, but surely social media is what killed Gossip Girl in the first place?
When Gossip Girl’s privileged group of Manhattan students first flounced onto our screens in 2007, the social media landscape looked very different to how it does today.
Surely this is something that everyone on social media has been guilty of at one point or another.
