WATCH: Gossip Girl’s official trailer promises a sexier, modern reboot
That’s a secret she’ll never tell.
HBO Max has released the official full-length trailer for the Gossip Girl reboot—and it promises a sexier, modern revival of the 2007 series.
With Kristen Bell reprising her role as the voice of the infamous Gossip Girl (GG), viewers are taken back to the fabulous lives of New York City’s elite teens and the drama that comes with it. Instead of a juicy blog, the anonymous GG now also hides behind an Instagram account.
Though the premise stays true to its origins, the 2021 reboot showcases a much more diverse cast featuring Emily Alyn Lind as Audrey Hope, Eli Brown as Otto Bergmann IV, Whitney Peak as Zoya Lott, Thomas Doherty as Max Wolfe, and Jordan Alexander as Julien Calloway.
The clip aptly chooses Frank Ocean’s Super Rich Kids crooning over the trailer, as we’re introduced to main character Zoya brushing shoulders with Constance Billard's top clique led by Julien—a la Serena Van Der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf in the original series.
The series is set to premiere on HBO Max this July 8.
