Producers: 'Gossip Girl' Reboot Won't Be as Wild as 'Euphoria'

HBO's teen drama "Euphoria" has found itself in the headlines for being risqu� (drug use, nudity, and 30 penises, oh my!). But a producer for the upcoming "Gossip Girl" reboot, which will stream on HBO Max next year, revealed that the modern-day spin of the classic 00s teen drama won't be close to "Euphoria."

"I think you don't ever want to feel gratuitous or something that you're doing just because. Luckily, we're now airing post-Euphoria, so anything we do will seem tame in comparison I don't think will be that controversial," series executive producer Josh Schwartz said at the 2019 Television Critics Association summer press tour, according to E! News.

Schwartz also opened up a bit about the new "Gossip Girl."

"...I think we're excited about being able to tell us a different version of the story, and with different levels of restrictions, and obviously, also with streaming, there are fewer episodes. So how you unpack those stories, or how you tell those stories can vary differently from a broadcast model. But obviously, we want it all to kind of come out of character," he said. "And what feels organic to the tone of the show won't be button pushing just for the sake of being able to do it. Maybe a couple of shits will throw in there just because we can."

When asked if any of the original "Gossip Girl," which includes Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, and Chace Crawford, E! News reports executive producer Stephanie Savage said the new show takes place after the original show's ending time jump.

"So, it can be a lot of fun just to bring that into the new show in some way," she said.

Schwartz added: "I mean, the door is open. We reached out to everybody's reps and to let them know about the show. And obviously, we love working with that cast. If they feel like after six seasons, they feel they played those parts, and they were happy to move on, we respect that. And if they want to come hang with us again, we'd love to have them."
