They say all good things must come to an end but according to sources (E! News) Gossip Girl is an exception to the rule. Word travels fast so grab your headbands because in 2020, HBO Max will be showing 10 episodes of a new iteration of Gossip Girl. No newcomers from behind the scenes though, the original series writer and executive producer will be doing the reboot (thank goodness) and it will be based off of the book by Cecily von Ziegesar.
Will there be a reunion between S, B and the rest of the crew? Not so fast… none of the original cast members have been confirmed to join the reboot yet. Lucky for us though, we’ve heard that Nate’s in for at least a cameo if a reboot featured new characters. Leave it to Mr. Archibald for stepping up and doing the right thing. Will the rest follow suit? Some things in life just can’t be replicated though and these are some large Manolos to fill. Will we be trading in Manolos for triple S’s or will this just be a big no no?
Where are they now?
Leighton Meester: Queen Bee is still ruling the school but this time it’s elementary school. She has a new role on ABC’s Single Parents and it’s honestly a great show. Her character is totally different from Blair’s and she plays it flawlessly. Apparently she’s always been a West Coast girl at heart and ended up marrying Adam Brody (Seth from The OC). They have a daughter named, Arlo together.
Blake Lively: In a very Serena-like fashion, Blake Lively is now married to Ryan Reynolds. I mean, he’s ok. They have 3 beautiful children together and it doesn’t stop there. Blake has been in a bunch of movies like A Simple Favor and more.
Ed Westwick: Westwick has starred in Wicked City and While Gold just to name a few. Not unlike one of Chuck’s storylines, Westwick came under heat for allegations a few years ago which ended up being dropped.
Chace Crawford: From the UES to oil fields and horror films. Mr. Archibald has taken his talents to ABC’s Blood & Oil, The Boys and Eloise (and no, it’s not the one about The Plaza either).
Penn Badgley: Humphrey takes on a totally new character in the hit series, You. He’s also no longer lonely boy and is now married to Domino Kirke.
Jessica Szohr: Vanessa may not have ruled on Gossip Girl but she seems to be doing pretty well in Hollywood. She’s been in The Internship, Ted 2, Shameless, Kingdom and more.
Taylor Momsen: It looks like Little J was following in Rufus’ footsteps all along. Taylor Momsen is the lead vocalist of The Pretty Reckless.
Well, well, well.. it looks like there was something in the water at Constance. The Fountain of Youth, maybe?
You know you love me.
