Gossip Girl delves into the world of upper-class privilege and wealth of prep school teens on Manhattan's Upper East Side -- a world where secrets are hard to keep with the all-knowing Gossip Girl (voiced by Kristen Bell), a blogger with an unknown identity, following and recording their every move.
The Upper East Side is thrown for a loop when Gossip Girl reports that Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), Manhattan's most notorious party girl, has arrived back in town after a mysterious absence where no one knows where she was or why she left. Not even Serena's closest friend, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), knew her whereabouts and is shocked to learn Serena has returned. However, their once close friendship is complicated upon Serena's return, strained now that Serena is the center of attention and Blair has been cast from the limelight, and the revelation that Serena had a fling with Blair's boyfriend Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford).
Also ruling the Upper East Side is Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), son of the wealthy and powerful Bart Bass and a friend of Nate's since childhood. Chuck leads a reckless life, which often leads Nate down a similar path of darkness and destruction.
Lastly there's Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) and his sister Jenny (Taylor Momsen), middle-class kids on the outside looking in on the exclusive wealthy clique. Dan and Jenny are forced to attend the school by their former rock star father, Rufus (Matthew Settle), who has a tumultuous past with Serena's mother Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford), a socialite with a secret past as a groupie. However, Dan and Serena's worlds collide following a chance meeting where Dan quickly finds himself dating the girl of his dreams. The closer they become, the more Dan learns about the real Serena and how different she is from the world in which she lives.
With all of the ever-changing drama in the lives of the teenagers and adults alike, the ever-present Gossip Girl is always around to keep up on the complex and intriguing world.

I can't believe gossip girl is over :(
Was indeed a great ending. And seeing everyone again was also great...
Great ending! Sad that there will be no more Gossip Girl
I agree, I loved that Kristen Bell was in it, as most of the cast of past seasons! Great ending.
