We’ll find out when the new Gossip Girl premieres, but it won’t be the only difference between The CW’s version of the series and HBO Max’s. Gossip Girl was shocking for CW audiences, but it was still network television: No nudity, no explicit sex, and very limited drug use. (The only time I actually remember seeing anyone snorting cocaine on Gossip Girl, and not just generally alluding to drug use, was when Serena killed that guy.) Compare this to HBO drama Euphoria, which is full of sex, drugs, and f-bombs. What content standards will the new Gossip Girl adhere to? (HBO could not provide comment to Refinery29 on any specifics about the show at this time.)
