Get ready for some more Gossip.
According to reports, producers are planning a Gossip Girl spinoff centering around Taylor Momsen's character, Jenny Humphrey.
Jenny, the 14-year-old sister of Penn Badgley's Dan, is a 14-year-old Brooklynite desperately trying to climb her way up the elite Upper West Side ladder. In the Gossip Girl books, the character enrolls in a boarding school and is spun-off in her own six-book series called The It Girl. Her travails in The It Girl would serve as inspiration for the small-screen adaptation.
If that idea doesn't pan out, execs will turn to Plan B to introduce a new character in the upcoming season who will later be spun off.
CW has declined to comment on this development. But should the network greenlight the show, it will be the second teen spinoff on its docket, following in the footsteps of the much-ballyhooed 90210 spinoff.
