Hey Upper East Siders, the Gossip Girl reboot cast was spotted, and they’re not here to play.
Cast members from HBO Max’s upcoming Gossip Girl reboot were photographed on the steps in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Wednesday, November, 11, in a nod to the many Met scenes the original Gossip Girl cast filmed from 2007 to 2012. The original Gossip Girl—based on Cecily von Ziegesar’s book series of the same title—premiered on The CW in 2007 and starred Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Chase Crawford, Penn Badgley and more as privileged, upper-class teenagers living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Deadline confirmed in July 2019 that a Gossip Girl reboot—developed by the original series’ executive producers Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Joshua Safran—was in the works for HBO Max. Production started on the series in October 2020, seven months after the cast was announced in March 2020. The series is set to premiere in 2021.
As of now, it doesn’t look any of the original cast members have plans to return for the reboot, which means that the revival will star a brand-new cast. But who are the new gang of Upper East Siders we’ll follow in HBO Max’s reboot? Read about the cast and who they’re playing ahead.
