Good morning, Upper East Siders.

That's right, it's been a whole nine years since we last delved into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite, and now the cult classic series Gossip Girl has had a 2021 makeover.

Developed by showrunner Joshua Safran, (a writer and executive producer on the original series), the new series stars Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak and Savannah Lee Smith as they navigate school, life and relationships under the watchful eye of Gossip Girl's new Instagram account.

While you shouldn't hold your breath if you're hoping Blake Lively, Leighton Meester or any of the other original cast members are going to make an appearance, Kristen Bell does return as the voice of the anonymous blogger.

And look, while the original Gossip Girl will always hold a special place in our hearts, there's no denying that certain elements of the show haven't aged all that well. Will the new series right the wrongs of its predecessor? There's only one way to find out.

That being said, the cast is already looking much more diverse and a better reflection of New York society, so that's a good sign of things to come. Hopefully, this reboot won't be leaving us disappointed. Here's how you can watch the Gossip Girl reboot in Australia.

But if you're hoping to binge the entire season in one go, steady on. These episodes are going to drop weekly, so it's a slow burn, rather than a sprint.

And if you don't have a Binge account yet, packages start from just $10 per month, but you can also get around their 14-day free trial - just click the links above to find out more.

And once you're up to date with the scandals, make the most of Binge's free trial. Binge is owned by Foxtel, and is ostensibly the pay TV's answer to Netflix, and the most affordable way for us Aussies to get HBO content.

So if you’re a fan of shows like The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and True Blood, you’ll be able to catch them on Binge. There's also Mare of Easttown, and The Sopranos if you like your TV with a dash of crime.

There’s plenty of comedies too; think classics like Sex and The City, Seinfeld, and Friends as well as more modern favourites like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, and The Office.

If you’re still not sure what to watch on Binge, have a look at our Editor’s Picks of the best TV and movies available on Binge.

And of course, you can watch every episode of the original Gossip Girl and hang with the likes of Serena, Dan, Blair, Chuck, Nate and Little Jenny Humphries.
