July 8-14: Crave Weekly Streaming Overview

JULY 8 – HBO MAX’s GOSSIP GIRL *Series Premiere*

• HBO Max’s GOSSIP GIRL, the much-anticipated extension of the pop culture classic, premieres Thursday, July 8. Developed by showrunner Joshua Safran, a writer and executive producer on the original series, the reboot goes back to the Upper East Side, finding a new generation of New York private school teens being introduced to social surveillance, nine years after the original blogger’s website went dark. GOSSIP GIRL explores just how much social media, and the landscape of New York itself, has changed in the intervening years. The series stars Jordan Alexander (SACRED LIES), Eli Brown (Run, Hide, Fight), Thomas Doherty (Descendants), Tavi Gevinson (Enough Said), Emily Alyn Lind (REVENGE), Evan Mock, Zion Moreno (CONTROL Z), Whitney Peak (CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA), and Savannah Lee Smith.

• Pete Lee takes the stage in his first SHOWTIME comedy special, PETE LEE: TALL, DARK, AND PLEASANT, premiering Friday, July 9 at 9 p.m. ET. Filmed at the Tempe Improv in Arizona, the special dives into Lee’s outrageous struggles with people pleasing, relationships, sex, drugs, and motion-sensor sinks. In this hour-long special directed by Brian Volk-Weiss, Lee educates the audience on why it sucks to be a nice guy and how he hates conflict, unless the person he’s talking to likes it – then he of course does too.
