As previously revealed, Michelle Trachtenberg will be appearing in season two, reprising her role of Georgina Sparks!

In season one, her character’s son made an appearance.

Here’s a season two synopsis: It’s the second semester of Junior year, and Gossip Girl is leaving no stone unturned in her effort to control the scandalous lives/spin the scandalous lies of Manhattan’s elite. She’s learned a thing or two from her first go-round — namely what her audience wants, they shall get.

It’s time for her to turn the heat up on what’s been simmering (Julien, have you met Monet?) as well as look at her own impact, and how she can make it more catastrophic than it was before. Even if that means lying to do it.

Old enemies, new allies, constantly shifting sands — this semester, there can only be one queen, and by the end of the school year, everyone will know where the bodies are buried, and just who was holding the shovel.

Gossip Girl season two will debut on Thursday, December 1st on HBO Max.
