“Gossip Girl,” the iconic teen drama series about the scandalous lives of New York’s elite is back with a new cast and will be brought to Philippine audiences by SKY via HBO GO, starting on July 8 (Thursday), the same date as the U.S.

Now bolder and fiercer than its predecessor, the series returns after an eight-year hiatus, with a new generation of private school teens introduced to the watchful eye of the infamous surveillance website taking over on social media.

The revamped version of the pop-culture classic, produced by Fake Empire and Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios, features a new ensemble, which includes Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak, and Savannah Lee Smith.

The series is based on the bestselling novels by Cecily von Ziegesar and the original show, developed by Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage.

The Philippine premiere of the new-look “Gossip Girl” starts this July 8, Thursday, the same date as the U.S., exclusively on HBO GO.
