‘Gossip Girl’ Spinoff in the Works
Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are working on a spinoff of the popular CW show. The spinoff will be set in 1980s Los Angeles and will serve as a prequel to the current series. It will focus on the wild teenage years of Lily van der Woodsen.
The basic premise sees a young Lily moving in with her “black sheep” sister after a falling out with her parents. She has to adjust from living a life of luxury and going to boarding school to living in the San Fernando Valley and going to public school. Caught between her two worlds, Lily seeks the fast-paced Sunset Strip and the Hollywood lifestyle of the ’80s, allowing her to sneak back in to the lifestyle she used to call her own.
Casting is underway now for the “backdoor pilot” which will air as an episode of Gossip Girl on May 11.
