Gossip Girl (Seasons 1–2)

Gossip Girl (2021) is an HBO Max drama series you can watch online on iFILM, created by Joshua Safran as a direct sequel-reboot set nine years after the original website went dark. A new generation of Manhattan private-school students is back under the microscope — and this time, the person running the account is someone who actually knows where the bodies are buried.

The twist: it is the teachers. Tired of being walked over by their wealthy students, the faculty of Constance Billard fires up the Instagram account themselves. Jordan Alexander, Thomas Doherty and Eli Brown lead a cast navigating money, identity and the particular cruelty of being watched at all times. Kristen Bell returns as the voice of Gossip Girl.

Where the original treated social surveillance as drama, the reboot treats it as satire. The Upper East Side has always rewarded ruthlessness; social media just made it faster. Stream all seasons of Gossip Girl (2021) online on iFILM.
