CW Update: ‘Gossip’ Gets Summer Start

May 12, 2008 1:30 PM

It appears the long-rumored notion of premiering “Gossip Girl” in the summer will come to pass. Two people familiar with The CW’s plans said the network will begin a four- or five-episode run of “GG” episodes in late July or early August. The episodes will be set in the Hamptons.

Meanwhile, The CW has greenlit “How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls” to series. Its very clever title is changing, however, to the less interesting “Surviving the Filthy Rich.” No word yet on whether The CW’s “Filthy Rich” will visit those ABC folks with “Dirty Sexy Money” or FX’s “The Riches.”
