Gossip Girl here, and I’ve got everything you need to know about the upcoming Gossip Girl reboot. After a far too extended break from the world of drama and flashy headbands, a brand new batch of Upper East Siders is headed to a television near you, and while there’s no word on whether the original blogger behind it all will return, we do have enough information on the series to officially start getting excited.
In case you’ve been too busy planning a party in the Hamptons (sponsored by Vitaminwater), here’s everything we know about the Gossip Girl reboot so far, including new characters, new plots, and how to watch.
The New Cast Features Some Familiar Faces
When Gossip Girl first premiered in 2007, its stars were relatively new in their careers — though they’d very quickly be propelled to household name status. The Gossip Girl reboot cast also features relative newcomers, though some of the actors you’ll likely recognize from their many popular projects.
On March 2, HBO Max announced five new cast members for the series: Emily Alyn Lind (Doctor Sleep, Revenge), Whitney Peak (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Eli Brown (The Perfectionists), Jason Gotay (Broadway’s Bring It On and Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark), and Johnathan Fernandez (Lethal Weapon, Girls, Togetherish). You can read about all the new Gossip Girl cast here.
We can’t wait to learn more about all the new characters; so far, we know Emily Alyn Lind will play Audrey, who “has been in a long term relationship and is beginning to wonder what more could be out there,” per Deadline. We’re already riveted.
Kristen Bell Is Reprising Her Role as Narrator
XOXO, our fave all-knowing voice is returning. As previously reported by TV Line, Kristen Bell will reprise her role as narrator for the reboot. The pair behind the reboot (and the original Gossip Girl), Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, confirmed that there’s truly no replacing Kristen, saying in a statement to TV Line, “Kristen Bell has always been and will always be the voice of Gossip Girl.”
The Reboot Will Address What Happened to Serena, Blair, Dan, and the Crew
As for what happened to our fave former private school students, that’s a secret the reboot will tell. Executive producer Joshua Safran confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that the new cast will address what happened to Serena, Blair, Dan, and the rest of the former GG crew.
