The buzzed-about Gossip Girl spinoff has been given the go-ahead, it was announced Wednesday.The new CW pilot will center on a teenage version of Lily van der Woodsen (played by Kelly Rutherford) in Los Angeles in the 1980s.
After a falling out with her parents, Lily is forced to move in with her sister, the black sheep of the Rhodes family, and live on her own for the first time.
"Used to being a 'have,' attending a wealthy Montecito boarding school and living the high life, Lily is now forced into being a 'have not,' living deep in the Valley she once made fun of, and going to public school," a Warner Bros. statement read.
"Caught between two worlds, Lily dives into the fast-paced Sunset Strip and the Hollywood lifestyle of the '80s, journeying over the hill to a world of wealth and excess that used to be her own," according to the statement.
The spinoff will be produced as a backdoor pilot and air May 11 as an episode of Gossip Girl.
