"It's been more than 20 years - and one short-lived TV reboot - since Gossip Girl first introduced us to the cutthroat social politics of the Upper East Side. But we're not done with the world of headbands and scheming on the Met steps yet, because author Cecily von Ziegesar is reviving her most iconic character in a brand-new standalone novel. If you guessed Blair, you'd be right... which also happens to be the title of the follow-up."
"As for a release date, it looks like we'll have to hold out until summer 2027. The project sparked a pretty competitive auction, with Alloy Entertainment selling the book rights to Grand Central Publishing in a major deal. This is routine for Alloy - the company generally licenses only the book rights to publishers while retaining the rest (more on that in a minute)."
Blair Waldorf returns in a standalone novel set more than two decades after the original Gossip Girl, placing her in her 40s. The novel follows Blair as she returns to New York aiming to reclaim her position atop the Upper East Side social hierarchy. The book is slated for summer 2027 after a competitive auction that resulted in Alloy Entertainment selling the book rights to Grand Central Publishing. Alloy typically licenses only book rights while retaining other rights. A previous TV reboot was short-lived. The premise emphasizes Blair's updated life stage and potential appeal to longtime fans.
