Hey, remember that time I made an April Fools’ joke about Josh Safran not being the GG boss anymore? Well, it’s actually not a joke.
It’s just been reported that current Gossip Girl boss and showrunner Josh Safran, who took over the series after Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage decided to focus their efforts on their Fake Empire studio, will takeover as showrunner on Smash‘s season two.
According to Entertainment Weekly, execs were blown away with his idea for season two of the show; see, the current showrunner stepped down amidst backlash from the show’s first season, creatively. (I don’t go against the criticism; the show has been spiraling down.) But it’s also almost a sure thing that Gossip Girl will be renewed for a sixth and final (and shortened) season.
So what does this mean for Gossip Girl? Who will be put in charge? Does this limit GG‘s chances of renewal? Am I just an almighty seer? I don’t know — but I surely want to hear your thoughts about it. Please please please sound off below.
