The ten-episode revival is set to air on HBO’s streaming service, HBO Max, and it will be set “eight years after the original website went dark”
It will address “just how much social media – and the landscape of New York – has changed in the intervening years”.
At the 2019 Vulture Festival, show-runner Josha Safran discussed the diversity of the rebooted series.
“This time around the leads are non-white. There’s a lot of queer content on this show.
“It is very much dealing with the way the world looks now, where wealth and privilege come from, and how you handle that.”
Safran added: “There was not a lot of representation the first time around on the show. I was the only gay writer.”
During a Twitter Q&A in November, Safran gave fans a sneak peek in the show’s mature content stating: “GG is a classy woman. She will be TV-MA, I imagine, but she will never just show something just because she can.”
We can’t wait to see what these new Upper East Siders get into.
