Who Should Run Gossip Girl Next Season?
Last week it was reported that, in all likelihood, Gossip Girl executive producer and show-runner Josh Safran is leaving the Upper East Side and headed to the theater district to take over NBC's fledgling Smash.
If Safran indeed helms Smash, this obviously leaves a void on Gossip Girl.
The show has yet to be picked for another season, thus making talk of replacements premature, but it seems more likely than not that a sixth and final season will be granted by the network at some point.
Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz are also executive producers, but ceded daily control of the show to Safran after the CW drama's fourth season. If GG returns next fall or winter, who should run the show?
Someone from within? Someone new to the series altogether? It'll be interesting to see what happens. Share your thoughts on Safran's departure and your suggestions for future show-runners in the comments below ...

The cw network has no right to cancel one of the best shows on their fall lineup and especially for gossip girls its not about the ratings its about renewing the series

The show needs to go back to SS and Schwartz.

i'd love Schwartz and Savage back but Jake Coburn really wrote last night like he truly got the heart of GG and it felt old school GG unlike the rest of the season. I'd go with him or Sara Goodman. Whoever is in charge really needs to watch seasons 1 and 2 again.

Someone who'd make us cherish the show forever. It has to be Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. Also, we need the good old Gossip Girl back one last time.

@ Elisa thank you! I also know that you're a big fan of Chuck and Blair. I know that you love them, maybe more than mine to Serena and Dan. So we agree on a series! I hope, NO I NOW we will continue to do!

It would be great if Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage came back. Or Jake Coburn could be the new showrunner.

Maybe Kevin Williamson should run Gossip Girl. Curious with the result.
