However, the first quarter of Episode 1 reaches a thrilling crescendo thanks to a key song on the soundtrack. I’ll save some juicy spoilers for your own viewing pleasure. To do so, producers relied on music by Frank Ocean, Junglepussy, Rosalía, and Billie Eilish, among many more, to introduce the world to the new Gossip Girl squad: Julien Calloway, Zoya Lott, Aki Menzies, Max Wolfe, Audrey Hope, Obie Bergmann IV, Luna La, Monet De Haan, and Kate Keller. Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, and Gym Class Heroes (throwback!) were among the artists with then-new tracks featured in Season 1 of the original show, which aired from 2007 to 2012.įrom the first few seconds of the reboot’s start, it’s evident the creators and writers intended to cast a light on just how diverse, queer, sex-positive, and politically savvy this new group of characters are.
Like any good TV show, the songs that direct fans from one dramatic plot twist to the next say so much about the world we live in. Warning: Spoilers for Gossip Girl Season 1 follow. But one refreshing revelation is that just like the OG series, the new Gossip Girl’s Season 1 soundtrack is stacked with songs you’ll want to perpetually keep on rotation. Set in modern-day times, approximately nine years after the events of The CW’s runaway hit, this new installation takes viewers straight back to Constance Billard School, the Upper East Side, rich-kids-only institution where an anonymous blogger named Gossip Girl wreaked havoc on the lives of uppity teens deeply invested in their social lives. HBO Max’s reimagined version of Gossip Girl contains the exact ingredients that made the original series a success: a gorgeous, instantly recognizable cast, timely cameos, and a whole lot of camp.
