Next year, we're returning to the Upper East Side for more sex, secrets and scandal in a brand-new iteration of Gossip Girl, and we now have a first look at footage from the show.
The 10-part series, set to debut on the streaming service HBO Max, will see a brand new set of privileged teens navigate the New York social scene.
HBO Max released a sizzle reel for their upcoming content for the new year and it includes scenes from Gossip Girl.

The official summary of the show reads: "Eight years after the original website went dark, a new generation of New York private school teens are introduced to the social surveillance of Gossip Girl. The prestige series will address just how much social media-and the landscape of New York itself-has changed in the intervening years."
Screenwriter Joshua Safran told The Hollywood Reporter: "It's just a new look at this particular society in New York, the idea being that society changes constantly.
"So how has this world changed, how has social media and its effect changed? All of those things allow us to look at the world 12 years on as opposed to just redoing the story."
Emily Alyn Lind will lead as Audrey, who is described as having just come out of a long-term relationship "and is beginning to wonder what more could be out there", according to Deadline.
Whitney Peak, Eli Brown, Johnathan Fernandez, and Jason Gotay will all also star, while original cast member Kristen Bell will return as narrator.
Last month the new cast were seen chilling on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art aka The Met. The steps were a prominent feature in the original Gossip Girl series and fans will be thrilled to see they will return.
In the original show, which aired between 2007 to 2012, Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) frequently had lunch dates on those famous steps.
We can't wait to see more!
