A Possible Reunion of Original 'Gossip Girl' Cast

If you weren't excited by now, you should be now, as the 'Gossip Girl' co-creator, Josh Schwartz, revealed how they asked everybody from the original show from 2007 to join the reboot. The former CW show gave rise to some top stars, including Taylor Momsen, Leighton Meester, and Penn Badgley, who are yet to confirm if they will be back on the rerun.

However, the likes of Kristen Bell, the narrator in the original series, is definitely psyched for a return. The producers couldn't be more excited and said how Bell would always be the voice of 'Gossip Girl'. On the other hand, Chace Crawford, who initially portrayed 'Nate Archibald',said he is up for a cameo role if needed.

On the contrary, the lead character from the 2007 version is clearly off the return as Lively told the E! News how she isn't "involved" in the production. Blake, who featured in the show as 'Serena Woodsen' earlier on, will be a significant loss for the reboot.

It's not just the actors who might return; some of the producers, including Stephanie Savage and Joshua Safran, return as executive producers and scriptwriters, respectively. They will join Schwartz to make the wishes of many fans to reality by bringing back the show. 

New Cast Members of 'Gossip Girl' Include Emily Lind

The actress from 'Code Black,' Emily Alyn Lind was the first new cast member, who is set to play the lead character of 'Audrey' in the show. It will be a huge pressure for the diva to play the role of a girl in a long term relationship and trying to explore what's out there.

On the same day of Lind's acquisition, other stars like Whitney Peak from 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' and Eli Brown from 'Pretty Little Liars signed for Gossip Girl.' Moreover, Johnathan Fernandez and Jason Gotay will also have big shoes to fill in the reboot.

Only time will tell if Gossip Girl 2.0 could fulfill the audience's expectations from the bar set from its original series. The HBO Max content head, Sarah Aubrey, revealed how the first script of the rerun is so good.

A Much Diverse Plot

The new cast would reference Serena, 'Blair', 'Chuck', and 'Dan' with a much different perspective than just a sequel. Furthermore, it is expected to be more diverse, involving the LGBT perspective as well. But the trailer is yet to come.
