ITV is believed to be in talks to acquire the rights to teen drama Gossip Girl from US network Warner Bros.

The show, from The OC creator Josh Schwartz, is based on a series of novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, about a group of wealthy teenagers who go to school in New York's affluent Upper East Side. The show is narrated by 'Gossip Girl', with the lead played on screen by Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell.

Elsewhere, ITV2 has extended its deal with HBO for the exclusive UK rights to Entourage for its four series, which will keep the show with ITV until at least 2011.

The broadcaster is also thought to be discussing acquisition of the rights to the NBC version of Bionic Woman, starring former EastEnder Michelle Ryan.
