Spotted! Lily Van Der Woodsen…as a teenager?
Yep, that’s right. The CW has officially announced that a Gossip Girl spin-off is underway.
The new pilot will focus on the life of Lily Van Der Woodsen (currently played by Kelly Rutherford), who is better known as Serena’s.
While many of Gossip Girl’s adoring fans are intrigued by the glamorous life on the Upper East Side, the spin-off will actually take place during the ’80’s in Los Angeles.
According to a plot description, Lily is forced to move in with her sister after a falling out with her parents.
“Used to being a ‘have,’ attending a wealthy Montecito boarding school and living the high life, Lily is now forced into being a ‘have not,’ living deep in the Valley she once made fun of, and going to public school,” according to a statement from Warner Bros.
The spin-off will air May 11 as a flashback-style episode of Gossip Girl.

I heard the gossip girl ratings were awful, do we really need more of this stuff?
