The 2021 reboot of the show that catapulted stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester to fame promises to offer riveting upgrades in the drama, fashion, and scandal department with a diversified cast and themes, as well as a new Upper East Side while staying true to the tone of Cecily von Ziegesar’s novels.

What is Gossip Girl Reboot about?
Social media has since changed the landscape of New York’s privileged Upper East Side. Even when Serena van Woodsen and Blair Waldorf were running the show, fans knew the Manhattan scene where the wealthy navigated life and love was intense and unforgiving. You can expect the new Gossip Girl to push the envelope even further.
The reboot is set eight years after Gossip Girl’s website went dark, this time keeping an eye on a new generation of New York private schoolers whose privilege makes them targets of social scrutiny, which the earlier generation had also experienced.
Who stars in Gossip Girl Reboot?
Gossip Girl 2021 introduces a new cast that includes Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak, and Savannah Lee Smith. Fans of the original series will be pleased to know that Kristen Bell returns as the voice of the omniscient blogger, Gossip Girl, alongside her glorious XOXO moments.
Is Gossip Girl Reboot any good?
Gossip Girl creator Joshua Safran promises inclusivity in this reboot, which he has already partly delivered with a diverse cast.

Murphy plays Allison McRoberts, a smart and beautiful woman who stars in a sitcom with Kevin, her man-child self-centered husband.

Otis and the fun gang that is Sex Education will return for more shenanigans when Season 3 premieres in September. Fans saw a huge victory with Eric and Adam finally confessing their feelings for each other during last season’s finale and it looks like things between these two will be official once the show returns.
But there’s still a lot to tie up from the previous season, including the possibility of Otis and Maeve getting together. Otis professed his love for Maeve over voicemail but Isaac was being uncool because he totally deleted said message. Jean’s pregnancy was also a shocking way to end that season because she had just broken up with Jakob, who also had a vasectomy. Talk about complicated.
Fortunately, Season 3 will happen soon. Joining the cast is Jason Isaacs as Peter Groff, Mr. Groff’s older brother, Dua Saleh playing a nonbinary student at Moordale, and Indra Ové as Elsie’s foster mother Anna. Don’t miss this new season of Sex Education coming to your screens in September!
