Based upon the novel series by Cecily von Ziegesar of the same name, Gossip Girl revolves around the lives of socialite young adults growing up on New York's Upper East Side who attend the most elite of education institutions whilst dealing with sex, drugs, and other teenage issues.
Featuring an ensemble cast, the series mainly centers around the lives of best friends, Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and their shared romantic interest, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford). As outsiders looking in, Dan (Penn Badgley) and Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) do not run in the same social or financial circles as their peers but are nonetheless drawn into their lives as well.
The series is narrated by a seemingly omniscient character, "Gossip Girl", who runs a website blogging about her fellow Upper East Siders consequently stirring the pot and feeding potential rivalries in this exclusive and vicious circle of friends.
