 It features Tavi Gevinson, Thomas Doherty, Zion Moreno, and more. 

It was announced last year that Gossip Girl would be gracing our screens once more with a reboot of the original teen TV series, eight years after the last episode aired.&nbsp;

The teen drama, originally based on the books by Cecily von Ziegesar, is returning with a reboot with HBO Max, with the original show&rsquo;s executive producers Joshua Safran, Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz that remain the series showrunner.&nbsp;The new series has been ordered for at<a href="https://tvline.com/2019/07/17/gossip-girl-reboot-hbo-max-series-order/"> least 10-episodes,</a> each an hour long.

Here&rsquo;s what we know so far.

&nbsp;

It&rsquo;s got a diverse, and star studded cast

This is to more accurately reflect New York teens today. And no, they won&rsquo;t be new versions of Chuck Bass or Serena van der Woodsen.

&nbsp;Amongst the most notable cast members is Tavi Gevinson, the fashion world&rsquo;s pioneering influencer/blogger, Thomas Doherty&nbsp;(High Fidelity),&nbsp;Adam Chanler-Berat&nbsp;(Next to Normal), Zion Moreno, Emily Alyn Lind&nbsp;(Revenge), Whitney Peak&nbsp;(Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Eli Brown, Johnathan Fernandez and Jason Gotay.&nbsp;

And the infamous voice of &ldquo;XOXO, Gossip Girl&rdquo;? Yep, she&rsquo;s back. Kirsten Bell, who narrated the original Gossip Girl, will reprise her same role in the reboot.

Will the original cast members make an appearance?

&nbsp;Schwartz<a href="https://www.etonline.com/gossip-girl-boss-on-creating-a-marvel-like-universe-with-reboot-all-the-new-details-exclusive"> hints that they are mentioned often</a> in the new series, but no promises of their appearance as of yet. &ldquo;I would love for everyone to come back if they wanted to. The universe still exists. The characters talk about Serena, Blair, Chuck, Dan,&quot; he says in an interview with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gossip-girl-boss-on-creating-a-marvel-like-universe-with-reboot-all-the-new-details-exclusive">Entertainment Today.&nbsp;</a>

The reboot will also take place at the Constance Billard School for Girls, the very same place where we saw Blair and Serena stalk the halls.

It will take on a more social media slant to accurately reflect our current social media climate.&nbsp;

&ldquo;A new generation of New York private school teens are introduced to the social surveillance of Gossip Girl. The prestige series will address just how much social media &ndash; and the landscape of New York itself &ndash; has changed in the intervening years,&rdquo; says the plot synopsis. This will happen eight years after the original website went dark, when Dan Humphrey was revealed to be the culprit.

We already know who Gossip Girl is.&nbsp;

Instead of the original series, where much of the plot revolved around figuring out who Gossip Girl was, it won&rsquo;t be the case here. &quot;We felt like a version that was just our cast grown up...It didn&#39;t really feel like a group of adults who were being controlled by Gossip Girl would make a lot of sense, so it felt like there was something really interesting about this idea that we are all Gossip Girl now, in our own way, that we are all purveyors of our own social media surveillance state, and how that&#39;s evolved, and how that has morphed and mutated and telling that story through a new generation of upper east side high school kids felt like the right time,&rdquo; said Schwartz in <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1059919/the-new-gossip-girl-won-t-have-the-same-mystery-we-re-all-gossip-girl">an interview with E! Entertainment.</a>

No word on the exact premiere date as of yet, but all this talk is certainly making us nostalgic for the original series! Gossip Girl launches in 2020 on HBO Max.
