Viewers will soon be concentrating on yesterdays gossip rather than today's as Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage give the green light for a Gossip Girl prequel that spins off Serena's mum, Lily van der Woodsen, and her scandalising teenage ways.
According to Zap2it.com, which first reported the Lily van der Woodsen spin off, the backdrop of Gossip Girl's May 11 episode will create the setting for the prequel's pilot episode.
The pilot sees a hot, fresh faced Lily Rhodes moving from the glitz and glamour of Montecito to moving in with her sister (the black sheep) in San Fernando Valley.
When asked why they'd made the decision to create a spin off show that didn't require the presence of the current cast Stephanie Savage told the Hollywood Reporter, 'We didn't want to upset the chemistry of our cast—all of whom are crucial to the show,'
'Nor did we want to dilute New York City as a character.'
Josh Schwartz added, 'We are inspired by the opportunity to tell overlapping stories and introduce characters that will appear in the past and the present—and hopefully enrich both shows,'
'We love exploring fashion, pop culture, music and a heightened world that's just a little more fun than the one we actually live in. L.A. in the '80s totally fits the bill.'
Some of the Gossip Girl cast recently attended Ray Ban Remasters, a relaunch of Ray Ban's iconic Clubmaster model which will soon be readily available in 8 new colours.
