Ed Westwick seems to have news related to his Gossip Girl days.
The 32-year-old English actor shared cryptic social media posts on Sunday teasing some kind of announcement the following day.
He sparked the interest of Gossip Girl fans by including ‘xoxo,’ a staple of the series’ opening titles.

‘Got a little something for you… Tomorrow 1pm.. Hint….xoxo,’ he wrote.
His post also included a black box with ‘xoxo’ written in pink letters.
Though his post didn’t give any indication of his announcement, he made it clear enough that it was Gossip Girl related.
The ‘xoxo’ (meaning ‘hugs and kisses’) was featured in the opening titles of each episode and narrated by Kristen Bell.

Late last month, HBO Max Chief Content Officer Kevin Reilly revealed to Vulture that the reboot of Gossip Girl would be delayed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
‘They hadn’t even started production yet; they were in pre-production and ready to roll,’ Reilly said at the time.
Prior to the delay, fans were expecting the series to be released later in 2020.
The new series will be set eight years after the original ended and will explore how social media surveillance and New York City have changed.

The reboot cast Doctor Sleep’s Emily Alyn Lind as the main character Audrey, with Kristen Bell returning to narrate as Gossip Girl.
The cast also includes Eli Brown, Adam Chanler-Berat, Thomas Doherty, Jonathan Fernandez, Tavi Gevinson, Jason Gotay, Zion Moreno and Whitney Peak.
Though Bell will be returning in the narration role, Ed said it was unlikely he or any of the other original cast members would return for the reboot in an interview with Hollywood News in May.

Asked if he would like to make an appearance, the actor mused: ‘Absolutely I would, but I don’t know that they want us!
‘I don’t know anything about this reboot except from what you guys have read… I’m not sure how our characters would fit in,’ he continued.
‘I’m so lucky to have known those people, to have played that role and to have been in New York City and doing that. Are you kidding me, I’d go back in a heartbeat, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.’
