Gracie's Diary: Rewritten

Taking place 5 years after the original series and made to celebrate 10 years of Gracie's Diary in August 2019, this new 2D-animated spin-off was made and aired as a Netflix original series beginning August 12, 2019. Gracie and her pals are now all in high school and deal with more mature issues and topics, such as teen angst and LGBT issues, though the humor and charm of the series remains – and Gracie is still writing in her diaries.

Gracie now has two new friends. Anna has been promoted to a minor character; instead, Gracie now hangs out with Sophie, Lilly, Emma and Jordan. Emma is the new comic relief – a somewhat tomboyish girl who enjoys puns and jokes and sometimes over-exaggerates her actions. Jordan is a magnanimous yet slightly quirky person who is non-binary. They have known Emma since middle school and are somewhat self-conscious and anxious; they see Gracie as a bit of an inspiration because of how confident she is.

Emma has platinum-blonde hair and light green eyes.

Jordan has medium brown hair and dark blue eyes. They have a mostly androgynous look with neck-length hair, but their taste in clothing is more on the feminine side and they have a female-sounding voice.

Tatum has strawberry-blonde hair with brown eyes.

Anna and Lilly have a new brown and white dog named Tex as well as a cream-colored cat named Cheesecake, as Rufus passed away during the time between the original series and Rewritten. Gracie also now has a gray pet cat named Josie.

Vinny and Gracie are also officially boyfriend and girlfriend, and Kat has also been given the “minor character” treatment.

Episodes
It has 25 episodes, culminating in a 30-minute season finale. It is unknown whether there will be a second season or not. The first 24 episodes, which were in production between 2017 and 2019, all were put on Netflix at once, with the finale coming on September 2, 2019.
