The potential new series will focus on Lily as a troubled teenager in the 80s in LA. The pilot has not been cast (since it’s a prequel, it will be a whole new cast) and is still untitled. They hope to cast and shoot the pilot for air on May 11, 2009 in place of a regular Gossip Girl episode. Read more about this here.
