According to Variety, a Warner Bros spokesperson said filming will begin in New York at the end of October. They also report that shooting will take place in Vancouver and L.A.

Back in May Vulture reported the setback had delayed the show's release until summer 2021.

HBO Max chief content officer Kevin Reilly said they were just getting started when the pandemic hit.

He told Vulture, 'They hadn't even started production yet!'

'They were in pre-production and ready to roll.'

It's not yet known if it will still be on schedule for release in Summer 2021.

What we know about the reboot

The Hollywood Reporter provided a log-line for the new series last year:

'Eight years after the original website went dark, a new generation of New York private school teens are introduced to the social surveillance of Gossip Girl.'

'The prestige series will address just how much social media - and the landscape of New York itself - has changed in the intervening years.'

Writer and producer Joshua Safran discussed the reboot during an appearance at the Vulture Festival in 2019.

He said, 'It's just a new look at this particular society in New York, the idea being that society changes constantly.'

'So how has this world changed, how has social media and its effect changed?'

Safran went on, 'All of those things allow us to look at the world 12 years on as opposed to just re-doing the story.'

'None of us are interested in just re-doing a story.'
