Gossip Girl is having a reboot and will focus and show a whole new generation of rich and famous teens from Manhattan.

The original show of the New York City’s elites premiered in September 2009 and is having a reboot that will be released in 2021. 

The filming of the new series began on November 2, as the new cast sat on the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art surrounded by cameras and fans. 

The original series starred Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Ed Westick, Chace Crawford and many more. 

The show has been a worldwide success with its enormous fan base and iconic accomplishments.

The series lasted approximately four years and had six seasons aired. 

The reboot was scheduled to be released in 2020, however due to the circumstances it sadly had to be delayed. 

The show will be part of the subscription video service HBO Max. 

Gabriela Dominguez, a junior at Loretto Academy and fan of the show, expressed her enthusiasm for the reboot. 

Dominguez said, “I am so excited for the Gossip Girl reboot because it will put a twist on the original show and it will have such a diversity in the cast .” 

Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage will come back as the executive producers; Joshua Safran executive producer of the original series, will now be the showrunner.

The show will now be revived by a whole new different generation of viewers and audience. 

While the plot details remain limited, the cast has already come to light. 

According to Safran “there will be more diversity and representation on the reboot,” as the main characters of the original series were “primarly white and cisgender.” 

The reboot will upgrade its diversity; including a grand variety of different races and orientations. 

Like the 2009 original show, Kristen Bell will return as the narrator of the series. 

Safran said, “It is not a continuation or a sequel. It truly just is looking at a different angle.” 

While the original series remains iconic to young generations, many will be expecting the reboot to exceed the high expectations held by watchers.
