The CW has ordered a full season of Gossip Girl, a teen drama to air early next year on ITV2 in the UK.

"People everywhere are talking about Gossip Girl and we believe this show will continue to build audience as it builds buzz," said The CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff. "Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage have created an incredibly heightened-reality world that viewers are locking into while advertisers, affiliates and press have also embraced the show. The series has earned its early pick-up and we look forward to a long run on The CW."

However, the show saw a 29% second-week drop-off in audience figures, according to Nielsen Media Research.
