Get ready to meet the new cast of Gossip Girl on those iconic Metropolitan Museum steps on July 8
Last November, the Gossip Girl reboot was announced with casual behind-the-scenes footage of the new cast lounging on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum, the favourite hangout spot of Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen.
Since then, the show-runners have been frustratingly tight-lipped about the details of the TV series, besides brief introductions of the cast members and cryptic, one-word descriptions of the characters they will be playing. After months of waiting, the official trailer has finally dropped, amassing more than a million views in less than 24 hours. (Scroll to the end to watch the trailer.)
From the characters to the plot lines, we finally get a glimpse into the new-and-improved Upper East Side, with Kristen Bell reprising her role as the voice of Gossip Girl, sounding as sinister as ever. This is what we know so far about the upcoming HBO Max series.

Gossip Girl is now on Instagram
It makes complete sense that Gossip Girl has moved on from the flip-phone era onto one of the most influential social media platforms: Instagram. In this new world, Gossip Girl makes a mysterious return after going dark for nine years, threatening to reveal the secrets of the ruling class of Constance Billard.
And closing the loopholes of the previous series, it would seem that teachers and parents are now fully and refreshingly aware of this "anonymous Instagram account that spies on our students".
