Here all the mystery is dropped and instead we get to follow Kate as she receives tips, fake reacts to posts when in public (which I found hilarious) and even as she communicates with the other students through the GG account. One of the biggest recurring complaints of the original Gossip Girl was Dan being GG and how he could have possibly known everything he did as well as him reacting to posts when he was clearly alone. It was definitely a controversial choice to make a teacher Gossip Girl and whilst it may still have its issues Kate remains my favourite character of the show and I really loved what they did with her in season two. I loved how chaotic this season was and it felt a lot closer to the og show than ever before, it’s such a shame it got canxelled just as it was returning to form. Here though we returned to form and got weddings, dinner parties, fundraisers and even political events, really any chance to throw an event and these people did. Season one of the reboot did tone this down slightly and we didn’t get to see these episodic parties, often just for the sake of it. Gossip Girl has always followed the lives of the filthy rich, emphasising the extreme parties and wealth these people have and most of the show’s entertainment comes from how extreme said situations are. Season two really turned up the chaos and drama, returning in a way to the show’s original roots. Under the watchful eye of GG the group try and keep their scandals to a minimum but this is the Upper East Side after all and nothing stays hidden for long, especially with their every move being constantly scrutinised. Obie (Eli Brown, The Perfectionists) continues to date Grace (Anna Van Patten) but a shocking reveal sends him spinning and he soon becomes involved in some family drama with his Mother (Lyne Renée) and Sister (Kathryn Gallagher, You). Throuple Max (Thomas Doherty), Audrey (Emily Alyn Lind) and Aki (Evan Movj) continue to try and make their relationship work but struggle with the new dynamics of their relationship, especially when they have to ‘come out’ to those around them. Trouble seems to follow her however and despite her best efforts she finds herself at war with Monet (Savannah Lee Smith), who wants to be the new Queen B and even begins an affair with a married man with has its own share of issues. Meanwhile Julien attempts to cleanse herself after the events of last season with her Father (Luke Kirby, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel) and finds herself now living with Zoya (Whitney Peak) and Nick (Johnathan Fernandez). Now in a race against time can Kate use her powers for good or how she gone fully corrupt and let the power go completely to her head? Things get complicated however when multiple sources begin their quest to unmask her, putting Kate is more and more danger every time she posts. Still on her mission to make the kids better through fear, Kate hopes to scare her students into submission and begins searching for bigger and better scoops. Since Season one Kate has teamed up with social influencer Julien (Jordan Alexander) in exchange for information but she becomes dissatisfied when Julien fails to deliver any meaningful gossip. The second season of Gossip Girl continues to follow the Upper East Side Manhattan elite as they are constantly watched and observed by the titular Gossip Girl (AKA English Teacher Kate Keller (Tavi Gevinson)).
