PRIVATE Wants You—Audition Now!

Posted at 09:17AM May 07, 2009 by pneditor in Status

My Dear Fans,

I have been nervously awaiting this day for so long, and now I can finally tell you! The Executive Producers of Gossip Girl are turning the first four PRIVATE books into a web series. And that’s not all! They’re giving female fans the chance to audition for the role of Kiran!

There! I said it!

Are you excited? Are you nervous? Well, fear not, because my second secret is this: Everyone involved with the making of the PRIVATE web series loves the books as much as you and I do. That means Reed and Noelle and Ariana and Thomas and all their secrets are in very good hands.

So audition today . . . because no one deserves to be a part of the PRIVATE Web series more than fans like you!

Now, do tell . . . which character are you most excited to see on screen? Personally . . . I can’t wait to meet Thomas!

<3 Kate

Posted by Koko on May 07, 2009 at 11:43 AM EDT #

kind of disapointed actually. now people who don't know about the book are al gonna be totally obsessed. and if the show ruins the books then thats gonna suck,. nott happy.. but i love your books kate theyr ethe BEST.

Posted by alicia on May 07, 2009 at 11:48 AM EDT #

Darn! I can never be Kiran! My skin is too white, i have freckles, im only 5 4" if even that, im not as skinny as a model,my hair isnt dark enough, and im only 14! GAH! this sucks, but im still auditioning anyway. ;) it'll be fun! and can't wait to see it on screen! :D Love natasha xox

Posted by Natasha White on May 07, 2009 at 11:56 AM EDT #

hi, i cant wait but i hope all the characters look like what i imagine! i cant wait to see thomas as well!! all my friends are going to freak when i tell them about this! I really want to audition but i know i wont win! i'm hopeless at acting! =) ellie...x

Posted by ellie on May 07, 2009 at 11:58 AM EDT #

OMG! omgomg!!! This is soooo cool! I'm not going to audition myself cos I'm 13 and live in Europe and look nothing like any of the billings girls so i won't even try! but this is soooo exciting! I can't wait to see all the characters on screen but hmmm... I'm propbably most looking foward to seeing Noelle cos she is my fave character (in my opinion the most interesting!) and I really hope that they do her character well!

Posted by Rosie on May 07, 2009 at 12:14 PM EDT #

just one thing you got to make sure you cant go having them change it up the lines should be the same ..... and how are you going to show what Reed is thinking ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

Posted by Molly on May 07, 2009 at 12:51 PM EDT #

OMG; this private show is going to rock; where's it's going to take place and the location of the show...can't wait for it!

Posted by dannelle on May 07, 2009 at 01:11 PM EDT #

Im looking forward to meeting Thomas, Dash, Noelle and Josh... I wonder who's playing Thomas though!

Posted by charl on May 07, 2009 at 03:51 PM EDT #

I'm a little dissapointed to only audition for Kiran, since she is said to be insanely gorgeous, and i'm not exactly tall or anything either. I hope it doenst get to famous, only cause I hate when things get all popular. But dont get me wrong i adore your books Kate!

Posted by Rachel on May 07, 2009 at 03:55 PM EDT #

a lil disappointed i have to add-ment. really want to see it but most movies/shows ruin the book so i hope it doesnt!! i wish i could be kiran and make the show amazing!! lol jkjk

Posted by taylor on May 07, 2009 at 04:12 PM EDT #

OMFG!!!!! I'm totally freaking out!!!!! I wouldn't try out cause I'm not even close to lookingvlike a model and I'm only 13. I really really REALLY want to see Josh!!!!

Posted by Sarah on May 07, 2009 at 04:34 PM EDT #

OH MY GOSH! I am soooooo excited! When is it going to come out/what website? It should totally be on TV! It's better than Gossip Girl!

Posted by Kendall on May 07, 2009 at 04:53 PM EDT #

OMG!! So excited!! When is it going to be on and what website!? Can't wait! Need more answers

Posted by Ridley on May 07, 2009 at 05:11 PM EDT #

I so can't wait to see reed and noelle

Posted by Gossip Girl on May 07, 2009 at 05:21 PM EDT #

Kind of disappointed acually. Kate, you should have made the series into a 1hr TV show not web series! and ONLY the top 4 books? why?! me and my friends looked at this because we wanted it to be on tv and we wanted it to be ALLLLLLL the books, not just top 4 books....But happy for you kate....quite excited!

Posted by Alyn? on May 07, 2009 at 05:28 PM EDT #

I think that it should be an hour long per episode, and it may be convinent online. First four books? Ahhh. I loved the other ones too! And Privilege was amazing too. This is great!!! I probably won't audtition for it though because I don't really look like anyone. (Or at least how I imagined them) I am way excited! YEAH! (It just made my day!) Thanks! :)

Posted by Jackie on May 07, 2009 at 05:51 PM EDT #

im really pretty but the only thing is that im not old enough !!!!! SADDDDDDD !!!!! lol i dont want to sound fullof my self but i have ONE HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REQUEST you should right a book in THOMAS' VIEW !!!! AMAZING !!! becuz wen i read last christmas i want thomas !!

Posted by chloe g on May 07, 2009 at 06:23 PM EDT #

i look exactly like described Reed...thats what all my friends who read it say, except i have strawberry blond hair. my cousin would be an amazing Kiran though (shes only done commercials and guest-starring roles in TV, but she's gorgeous!!!)

Posted by Mary Jo on May 07, 2009 at 06:28 PM EDT #

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE THE BOOK MODELS FROM THE FIRST FOUR BOOKS BE IN IT?

Posted by Vicky on May 07, 2009 at 06:38 PM EDT #

Omg, i love ur books and i always wanted them to be a t.v series. I really want to audition cause im an awesome actress and i have short hair and a passion for fashion like Kiran. But im only 13 and im not really skinny or tall or INSAINLY GOREGOUS!but I'll still watch it love u katie

Posted by Brianne on May 07, 2009 at 07:29 PM EDT #

Ok so I was looking at the Case File and I kinda need some help.. Who are the girls in each picture. And what does everything mean? Why are those things in the Case File?

Posted by Danielle on May 07, 2009 at 07:37 PM EDT #

OMG! when i first read this, i went immeaditly to read the guidelines for the entries. Let me say i was so happy when it said the age minimum was 13. lol

Posted by Mariah on May 07, 2009 at 07:52 PM EDT #

i can't belive the books are being made into a webseries,even if i dont know what a "webseries" is i'm sure you and the amazing actors won't dissapoint!To me the private series is like gossip girls but even better because the girls are younger than the gossip girls which makes them more relatible to young teenagers like me! I hope you keep us in touch with what is going to happening!CANT WAIT!

Posted by mayra on May 07, 2009 at 07:57 PM EDT #

omg i am so excited! i love the books i cant wait to see the characters especially thomas and josh lol! ahhhhhh yeah! and i love gossip girl so i know this will be good! i cant for this! i am deffinetly going to be watching! WOW i am still shocked but so excited! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! omg this is going to be so great! i cant wait to see who plays all the characters! hopefully they pick well!

Posted by cecilia on May 07, 2009 at 08:26 PM EDT #

I am so excited. I have been wishing the series could be something since I started reading it!!! I would love the part of Kiran but I would look terrible at the part. I am so excited to see Josh and Noelle. Especially Josh. I cant wait until the web series starts!

Posted by Karyn on May 07, 2009 at 08:39 PM EDT #

hey kate!! ive been waiting to hear this for sooooo long!!!! im gonna audition all my friends call me kiran so its kinda my nickname i hope the series turns out awesome!!

Posted by melissa on May 07, 2009 at 08:45 PM EDT #

wow.. but seriously readers who haven't read the private series will find out everything in the webshow.. that suks. although i am totally excited, i don't think it will be totally exciting like the book. i just wanna know who plays taylor. but only top 4 books? my god, revelation and legacy was awesome!!!! im excited, but not enough to make me curious abt all the characters.

Posted by mary on May 07, 2009 at 08:55 PM EDT #

I am NOT that excited!! Sure, I'll probably audition...but not to sound bratty, but I would SO much rather have a chance to be Reed. I don't even remember anything about Kiran... and a web series? Private deserves more than a web series. More like a TV show or movie... dissapointing.

Posted by Rachel on May 07, 2009 at 08:57 PM EDT #

Well, that is prett cool I guess. I really really wish it was a real TV series. I would have watched it faithfully and been excited for every episode. I feel like a web series just won't be as good. I hope they do good with the cast though. A good cast can totally make or break a show.

Posted by Tori on May 07, 2009 at 09:58 PM EDT #

AHHH! I can't wait to meet Thomas too! OMG! And Josh, and Dash! ah!

Posted by Jacqueline on May 07, 2009 at 10:22 PM EDT #

I know im a little young (14) but I am SOO auditioning just got back from peforming at my school play Willy Wonka Yes!

Posted by Kia on May 07, 2009 at 10:30 PM EDT #

OMGOMGOMG!!!IM SOOOOO GONNA WIN THIS CONTEST I WANT TO SO BAD!!!!!!!!! :)

Posted by Alex on May 07, 2009 at 10:35 PM EDT #

OMG KATE YOU ARE THE BEST! i know its just a web show but the fact you were even able to get that is amazing! the chance to be and see is just the best! personaly, i would rather audition for NOELLE because she is actually my idol but it will still be cool. PLEASE PICK PRETTY PEOPLE AND I HOPE IT TURNS OUT AMAZING! i'm to young so i probably wont audtion but i know i will be one of the first to watch the series! LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART KATE BRIAN!

Posted by Andy S. on May 07, 2009 at 10:48 PM EDT #

OH and i can't WAIT to see THOMAS&DASH! I LOOOOOOOOVE THOMAS AND I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE DASH GOSH IM JUST SO EXCITED WOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Andy S. on May 07, 2009 at 10:50 PM EDT #

I am so incredibly excited about this! While I look nothing like your description of Kiran ha, I am planning on auditioning because I feel like it is an incredible opportunity! I have an unhealthy addiction to your books and this is something I have waited for since the first book! Ha. -Allie<3

Posted by Allie P. on May 07, 2009 at 11:11 PM EDT #

hey! I'm soooooo excited about the webseries. but, I've always pictured all the scenes in my mind. And the characters that I picture in my head are the cover models on the book. It'll be so so so so gooood if the cover models will be the actors. It's just my opinion though. I love your books Kate!

Posted by katie on May 08, 2009 at 08:51 AM EDT #

I REALLY LOVE THE BOOK AND AM SO EXCITED TO SEE IT COME TO LIFE! BUT MY THING IS WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE IT OVERSEAS? I AM THE BIGGEST FAN AND WOULD HATE TO MISS THE BIGGEST MILESTONE IN PRIVATE SERIES HISTORY.

Posted by DOMINIQUE on May 08, 2009 at 09:57 AM EDT #

I love the Private Series! When I heard it was going to be a webseries I got a little confused. Why isn't it going to be a tv show its good enough and has almost the same number of books as Gossip Girl. Ditch the webseries go straight for the television screen PLEASE!!

Posted by Paula Crisp on May 08, 2009 at 01:06 PM EDT #

OMG...... thats soo amazing i would love to audition but i cant cause im only 13 and i live in the uk which is a real bummer. the person i would love to be would be kiran but i am dark skined ( not black or dark brown light brown)but if i had to go for my personality it would have to be reed. will it be showed in the uk (london) and what channel would it be on? i cant waite to see who all the people are going to be but most of all Reed , Dash , Thomas , Josh and Noelle i love you so much xxxx

Posted by Yasmin on May 08, 2009 at 01:23 PM EDT #

Omg i so want to audition(it's been my dream to act in the private series if they made it a tv show or movie for ages actually) but I can't because my computer won't open the script you need for the video and I live in Ireland, not America! (But I've ordered all the books unavailable here off amazon.co.uk, btw.) But I can't wait to see it! Is it going to be only on the internet or on tv?

Posted by Nonie on May 08, 2009 at 02:06 PM EDT #

I can NOT wait to see what Noelle will be like. Ariana too. IT makes me wonder if I will get the same pictures of them in the webisodes and in the books. Deff goinng to try out for Kiran too!

Posted by Stephanie on May 08, 2009 at 03:04 PM EDT #

yeah i cannot wait to see thomas. hey i have a question, can a black person audition? because none of the girls on the covers are black and i really want to audition.

Posted by Camille on May 08, 2009 at 03:34 PM EDT #

YaY!!!!! I am sooooo excited cuz I am an actress/model and look just like how me and all my friends picture Kiran. =]

Posted by Julia on May 08, 2009 at 03:45 PM EDT #

Oooooh my god i being thinking of these idea for so long and finally it´s real I just thought that this kind of interesting book serie should have it´s own programe and it has come true i wish the don´t change a lot the structure of the story but it´s so excitting to finally see it on TV

Posted by Violeta Naval on May 08, 2009 at 05:04 PM EDT #

omg! im lik 13 and i read tis series but anty way omg ive always said to ppl who dont read tha bk that its gna b a movie or a show soon i bet it is and omg im rite!!!!! o yea!!!

Posted by Amara on May 08, 2009 at 05:07 PM EDT #

im thinking a taylor lautner sort of guy should be in it. he is hot(:

Posted by Darla on May 08, 2009 at 11:56 PM EDT #

hoe come only the first four books how come why cant u do the other books love marissa your numero uno fan

Posted by Marissa on May 09, 2009 at 04:05 PM EDT #

wow, i am totally going to audition for Kiran, but i don't really look like her. i really look like reed. i have the blue eyes, chestnut hair, love soccor, and i have the small girl persona. so why is Kiran the only one being open for casting?

Posted by Landon Antley on May 10, 2009 at 01:50 AM EDT #

im upset that they have said the age minimum is 13..i am 15 and consider myself to be to young to play a good kiran or for that matter any of the characters. the only way to make the show completely amazing is to find older good actors. i dont like the fact that a fan will be kiran, because most likely, the acting will not be very great. also upset its a web series bc it would better most likely as a tv one. really upset about the first four books part, because do we not get to see the rest? ill attempt watching but i feel like it just may ruin the books for me. gossip girl is NOTHING like the books,(i actually like the tv show better) and im afraid theyll do that with this show too-change everything, put couples together that were never together in the books..

Posted by cassie on May 10, 2009 at 01:03 PM EDT #

i cant wait to see thomas and gage aahhhhhh im so exicted now i cant wait for the show OMGGG i was freaking about the book now i just cant stop jumpping up and downnn!!! cannttttt waitt :):):):) two questions tho how many episodes is it gonna be? and is it ever gonna be on tv?? cant waittt ---sara P.S-big fan big fan

Posted by sara on May 10, 2009 at 02:41 PM EDT #

Oh. My. God.... I cannot wait!!! Im already counting down!! i am such a huge fan, im absolutely in love with this series! I have re read it so many times! I personally cannot wait to see Thomas...and Upton. He better really be the hottest male specimen to walk the earth(: i cannot wait to watch these over, and over, and over. ugh, not im all agitated because i cant wait. hurry please !!!

Posted by Nicole on May 10, 2009 at 09:35 PM EDT #

Im more excited to watch the show... I wouldnt want to be in them... tho acting would be cool... im really excited... Ill be upset if josh is bad tho... hes my ultimate fave so i might be VERY sad if he isnt good :D ps.. .I LOVE GOSSIP GIRL SO IF IT IS DONE BY THE SAME PPL THEN ITS GONNA BE AMAZING :D good luck Aly

Posted by aly on May 13, 2009 at 09:10 PM EDT #

OMG no way! An audition! I totally want the part, but if I got the part, no one would no I'm playing Kiran. I look nothing like her. I guess I'll just watch. Can't wait to see Josh and Thomas! Cna't wait to see the whole seires. I love u Kate, and ur books. Private rules! Hope the other books make it too! Emma

Posted by Emma on May 20, 2009 at 12:25 PM EDT #

i want to see JOSH<3

Posted by alex on May 26, 2009 at 03:45 PM EDT #

OMGGG! i'm not gunna try out or anything but i'm super excited! i agree with a lot of you about the whole show ruining the book, because what we picture the people as might not be what they end up to be. I really hope they pick the people who look like what they are described as, not just actresses and actors at random. that would suck. so anyway i'm super excited for it to come out! thank you kate for all you do! you are the one who made me love reading! i never read until these books and all your other books. THANKYOU! oh! and i'm so excited to see josh and reed together! and the twin cities!aahhaah ~Lauren

Posted by Lauren on May 27, 2009 at 03:49 PM EDT #

omg!!!! soooo excited i absolutely looove thomas!!! hope they dnt ruin him he has 2 lk perfect!!! even though i live in england im gonna audition anyway coz if i got picked(probs wont) i would just fly 2 la!!!!! id h8 2 miss the action!!!!!!!!! dnt no wat id do without ur books kate!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by elise clarke on May 28, 2009 at 07:22 AM EDT #

I AM SO AUDITIONING! Hahah. I can't wait! I really want to see all of the Billings girls. Mostly Ariana and Noelle.

Posted by Lauren on May 29, 2009 at 10:44 PM EDT #

I wish i would have found out about this sooner! my friends always tell me that they think of me when they read about kiran in private! the people i am most excited to see are josh and thomas, since they are supposed to be GORGEOUS! they'd better be... :)

Posted by Jillian on June 06, 2009 at 10:36 PM EDT #
