Gossip Girl was a hit. Blair, Serena, Dan, Chuck, Nate, and everyone else became a part of our lives, and for a long time, we couldn’t think about anything other than who the hell the Gossip Girl was.
It was finally revealed with the final season in 2012 but, in case you want to see it before seeing the new reboot of the legendary series, we are not going to reveal it here. We will only say one thing: you do not expect it and you will not believe it. Literally.
In mid-2019, we knew about the plans for the return of Gossip Girl . Despite being a continuation of the series starring Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, they did not resume their remembered roles. But that didn’t stop it from becoming a hit.
This is all we know about the second season of the reboot .
When does the second season of the Gossip Girl reboot premiere?
The premiere of the new season of Gossip Girl took place on December 1, 2022 .
On that day, 2 episodes were released, while the rest are aired weekly. We do not know how many chapters this second season will have, but it could be 12 again as in the previous season.
Who stars in the Gossip Girl reboot?
The characters in the Gossip Girl reboot aren’t a new interpretation of those who starred in the original series (and the books it’s based on), but are entirely new characters with new stories.
On the one hand, we have Jordan Alexander, who plays Julien Calloway. There is also the presence of Evon Mock as Aki Menzies and Savannah Smith as Monet da Haan (the “cool” of the school).
Emily Alyn Lind stars as Audrey Hope, described by some as “a girl in a relationship for years who will start to wonder what lies beyond”. She is one of the best known of the cast, with roles in Revenge and Days of Our Lives .
Whitney Peak is also known for other roles like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina . In this case, we will see her in the role of Zoya Lott. Eli Brown, on the other hand, will play Otto Bergmann IV.
The cast is completed by Thomas Doherty, who plays Max Wolfe; Zion Moreno, in the role of Luna La; Tavi Gevinson as Kate Keller; and Jason Gotay, Johnathan Fernandez, and Adam Chandler-Berat.
Do the original actors come out?
Surely, what fans of the original series want to know the most is if their protagonists resume their roles to appear in the reboot . It seems pretty unlikely that they’ll make it beyond a cameo or some mention.
Much emphasis has been placed on the concept of “next generation”, but the fact that the same characters are not going to be interpreted leaves the door open for them to appear. After all, the same creators are behind it, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.
Instead, it does have Kristen Bell to narrate the series again, as she did in the original series. Although she didn’t appear onscreen (she did for just a moment, in fact), she’s a clever way to bridge both generations.
While for the reboot of El Internado it was decided to change the school, for the reboot of Gossip Girl Constance Billard and St. Jude’s have been recovered as the schools where the protagonists of the new series go.
Of course, the big difference is that this time there is no Gossip Queen responsible for a gossip website. Instead, in the age of social media, they want to underscore the idea that any of us can be one.
In this way, the series deals with current issues, such as online privacy . But they have also been in charge of offering a better representation of the adolescents of the New York elite, with a large presence of LGTBIQ+ characters.
Where to watch the Gossip Girl reboot
