Gossip Girl for TV might be getting a spin-off – just like in the books. Reportedly, the spin-off will center around Jenny being sent off to boarding school.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the books, Jenny gets into trouble and is given the choice of repeating her freshman year of high school or going to a new school. Her adventures at the new school are chronicled in It Girl. Of course, Jenny also had big boobs and curly brown hair in the books – not at all like Taylor Momsen…
Will Gossip Girl for TV follow the books and spin off the series? That’s what the rumors would indicate. And the story line seems to support that idea… Jenny has been getting into trouble for awhile now. Stealing, drinking, lying, sneaking out. What’s a dad to do? But boarding school? One has to think, though, that this is more Lily than Rufus.
No word yet on whether the brass at CW have given the show an official seal of approval. Alloy Entertainment is shopping the series around and CW has the right of first refusal for any spin off. However, with low-ish ratings for Gossip Girl and rumblings that Dawn Ostroff is leaving the CW, no one knows for sure. I’ll keep you posted.

the producer josh schwartz clarified these rumors yesterday and said they did not start to plan a spin off yet.
I FIND THIS ALL INTERESTING,
BUT JENNY IS ONLY A FRESHMEN
I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY’D TAKE THIS
STORYLINE. HOWEVER, I’M NOT GOING TO LIE,
I AM INTERESTED AS TO WHAT THEY COULD
POSSIBLY HAVE IN STORE!
To be honest, Jenny’s my least favorite character in GG. I like Gossip Girl as it is, without any spinoffs
Sophie,
I agree that I don’t like the way that they have drifted Jenny in and out of storylines… That’s why I think a spin off would be cool.
