It's not over until the executive producers spill behind the scenes secrets!

Gossip Girl may have said its final "XOXO" in December, but fans can relive the CW hit's final season when the sixth season and complete series (which includes all 121 episodes!) DVD box sets hits stores on Tuesday, Feb. 12.

And we've got an exclusive sneak peek at one of the feaurettes, which features bosses Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage discussing the series finale and the decision to reveal Gossip Girl... 

"The idea was to give as much closure as possible," Schwartz explains of crafting the series finale, "And to answer as many questions [as possible], to have the opportunity to see where these characters end up, who they end up with, and of course, most importantly, who is Gossip Girl?"

But the powers that be almost didn't reveal the powerful blogger's identity! Savage says, "We weren't sure if that was something audiences would want to know or wouldn't want to know. If they didn't want to know, we didn't want to foist this on them."

Of course, Schwartz and Savage made the decision to reveal Gossip Girl: Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley)!

To hear more finale secrets, including which castmember always asked about Gossip Girl's identity, watch our exclusive sneak peek at the DVD featurette above! And remember, you can own the complete series when the box set hits store shelves on Feb. 12!
