Everyone’s favorite Hollywood girl crush Blake Lively is reportedly coming back to our TV screens — and we could not be more excited to see what our former Serena van der Woodsen could possibly be up to.
Following her successful film A Simple Favor, Lively is reportedly in talks with Amazon Studios to produce a scripted television series. Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, said that the television show will have a fashion theme and even a merchandising component. Viewers will be able to purchase the outfits on the show directly from Amazon. Getting to wear an outfit personally approved by Blake Lively herself? Sign me up ASAP.

Salke announced Amazon’s plans for a collaboration with Lively at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit, calling Lively“a force of nature” and saying Lively reminded her of “Nicole Kidman”—another Hollywood starlet who recently inked a deal with Amazon.
Salke stated that Lively has been closely working with writers to ensure that the show remains culturally relevant while promoting the retail component. But if you’ve been hoping that Lively will finally be returning to your television screens, turn on those Gossip Girl reruns—so far, Lively is only confirmed to be producing the developing TV series.
However, Salke didn’t rule out Lively’s starring role. According to Elle, Salke claimed that they were “close to a deal” with the starlet.

This isn’t Lively’s first time producing. According to Glamour, Lively recently signed on to produce an adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s book The Husband’s Secret (hint: she’s also the author of Big Little Lies, which is an insanely dramatic book-turned-tv adaptation).
Whether Lively will simply be producing this new series or starring in it as well, we simply cannot wait to see what our former CW royalty will be bringing to Amazon within the next year. Grab your popcorn, it’s time to binge-watch—xoxo, Her Campus.
