The long-rumored Gossip Girl spinoff will apparently center around younger versions of the characters Lily and Rufus, according to a new report in Star.
“The show will focus on the early romance between Lily van der Woodsen and Rufus Humphrey,” an insider says of the future Gossip Girl spinoff.
“It begins when they first meet, during a time when Rufus and his band are at the height of their career. The show will follow the high society and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle in New York.”
None of the original Gossip Girl cast members will be leaving the show, says the insider: “two new actors will be hired to play the young Lily and Rufus."
Producers are reportedly planning to introduce the new, younger couple during a flashback scene in an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl this season.
No official announcement has been made, so for now this remains unconfirmed. But what do you think? Would you watch this Gossip Girl spin-off?

Younger version of Lily & Rufus......must be played by S & D!!! The way Rufus always gives advice to D about dating someone exactly like Serena etc...i.e. Lily. It fits!

I don't know if I would. I will certainly give it a chance, but the popularity of Gossip Girl isn't just because the plot is riveting. They cast is hot, and people love the already successful books. It's already been discussed that The CW's previous spin-off trials haven't been the most successful shows on the network, but you never know. If the drama is just as good, and young Rufus is gorgeous, the show might just be a hit.
We will have to wait and see.
