12 TV Reboots You Didn't Know Were Coming

6. Gossip Girl

This is one of the most recent shows on the list, yet it also seems one of the most ready for a reboot. Gossip Girl centred around the lives of the rich and often vapid young socialites of the Upper East Side, and with the rise of social media, digital influencers, paid sponsorships and a much greater online presence, there is massively fertile ground here.

Originally, it was revealed than Dan Humphries, the outsider and the poorest (by their lofty standards) member of the group was actually Gossip Girl, and had been leaking secrets and reporting on their goings on for years.

He's not going to return, so the cycle and mystery will be starting all over again, although Kristen Bell is back as the iconic voice of 'XOXO, Gossip Girl'. Aside from her, it's an entirely new cast, with new storylines to be explored.

Our obsession with the rich and famous (and their influence) has only grown since Gossip Girl's finale in 2012, so there's definitely room for the next Gossip Girl. Whether or not it lands traction in the crowded high school drama field still remains to be seen.
