Ed Westwick on the ‘Gossip Girl’ Reboot: “Why Shouldn’t It Live On?” (EXCLUSIVE) – Distractify

Sadly, it seems like Ed’s former persona, Chuck Bass, won’t be appearing in the Gossip Girl reboot, nor will Dan, Blair, Serena, or Nate. Rumor has it the show will follow a brand new group of Upper East Side teens. Ed, however, has quite a bit on his plate, anyway. Before the quarantine, he was acting in a movie, and was in the process of sending out a self-directed short film to various festivals nationwide.

“I have a movie called Me, You, Madness, [which should be] coming out at some point,” he says, eluding to the never-ending quarantine. “I also directed a short film called Tether, which I am acting in with the incredible Christiane Seidel. I am working on making that available for people to see. We were doing festivals with it before this virus thing hit us all. I am writing and looking at stories of my own to maybe make into something.”

Although it doesn’t seem like Ed has much involvement with the GG reboot, all of us are hopefully awaiting a reunion episode from the original series’ cast — a final Blair, Chuck, and Serena showdown would be truly epic.
