Gossip Girl Spinoff?

Well, yes, according to The Hollywood Reporter, producers are eyeing a spinoff series set at a girls boarding school. The story would be based on Gossip spinoff novels called The It Girl, which features the socially-awkward character of Jenny Humphrey entering boarding school and reinventing herself as Blair 2.0. No word yet if the actress playing Jenny, Taylor Momsen, will star in the spinoff series.

THR reports that it's somewhat unlikely that CW will pick up the series since it's current slate is stacked with teen fare, including Gossip and the forthcoming refresh of 90210. Perhaps it'll find a home on another network where teen girls (and teen-girls at heart like myself) congregate, like ABC Family or MTV.

I like Gossip Girl and all, but this may be overkill, especially given the un-popularity of Jenny's character.
