BBC Scores U.K. Premiere for Gossip Girl

The BBC has acquired the new Gossip Girl drama as a U.K. premiere, set for BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year.

BBC iPlayer will also be home to every episode of the classic Gossip Girl, which ran from 2007 to 2012. Along with the brand-new show, viewers can access a box set of all six seasons of the original U.S. teen drama hit.

Dan McGolpin, director of BBC iPlayer and channels, said: “The BBC has a rich track record of acquiring some of the best content from around the world to complement our original commissions and we are delighted to be reacquainting existing fans and introducing new viewers to the iconic world of Gossip Girl on BBC iPlayer. The original series defined an era and we cannot wait for everyone to see the new series with its exciting new generation.”
