OMG: A Gossip Girl spin-off could be in the works.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new show will be set at a girls boarding school.
Actress Taylor Momsen (who plays the divalicious Jenny Humphrey) is being eyed to headline. A new character also could be introduced this fall and be spun off.
But, executive producer Josh Schwartz tells E!: "Not sure how this got out there — but no plans for spin off at this moment. The books do have a spin off, but we have nothing in the works right now other than making sure Season 2 gets off to a great start."
On the original CW hit, Humphrey strived to be popular — and clashed with queen bee Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) in the process. Last season, she almost got arrested after stealing a couture gown from one of her friends' moms. She was also nearly date raped.
In the book — on which the series is loosely based — Jenny is sent away to boarding school after being forced to repeat ninth grade.
(See old photos of the Gossip Girl cast.)
It is unclear if the CW would pick up the show (the network recently announced plans to air a 90210 spin-off).
As a result, the spin-off could end up on a competing network.
A CW spokesperson declined to comment.

Not if Jenny Humphrey is the lead. She's my least favorite character on the show. Every episdoe (especially mid-season) I kept saying "less screentime for Jenny Humphrey".

It would most likely be based off of the book series It Girl, which Jenny stars in. But in the books it is a male and female boarding school.

A Gossip Girl spin-Off would be good, but it's too soon to do a spin-off, but maybe later, you never know, etc.? I wish Taylor Momsen all the best if she's actually going to be in the spin-off show, etc.?

I love Gossip Girls but I do agree with some of you... it is a bit to early to start splitting up the cast. I hope they stay around for a while!

why don't they make sure this sh*t will be around another season or two before spinning off. Ratings haven't been the greatest lately.

I do not like the character Jenny, so I hope she goes away without a spin off... maybe the occassional scene with her on the phone to her brother would be ok... and then maybe she can come back later on in the series...
This was the FIRST season of Gossip Girl... WAY TOO EARLY for a spin off... If the show does not get any better next season I will not be watching it anymore. The writers cleaned too much up too soon with the whole "I killed someone" storyline. If they don't slow it down a bit this show will be as short lived as the OC. Those writers had no where else to go after just four years. Im just sayin...

It wouldn't make sense to have her fail the ninth grade. For one thing they tried to it like she was smart. Plus the school-year already ended so they would have to back-peddle to make her fail. The season finale was very annoying btw.
