Gossip Girl Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Whitney Peak expresses different emotions while filming the upcoming Gossip Girl revival series on Tuesday (March 2) in New York City.

The 18-year-old actress was joined by her co-star Eli Brown in the Manhattan neighborhood of the city.

The week before, some of their other co-stars were also seen filming the new series for HBO Max.

Whitney recently opened up about the diverse representation in this new version of the show.

“There’s a lot of representation, which I can’t say we saw a lot of in the first one. It’s dope being able to see people who look like you and who are interested in the same things, and who happen to be in entertainment, because it’s so influential and obviously reflective of the times,” she told Dazed magazine.

“It’s also just humans being humans, doing what they wanna do instead of being fit into, ‘This is a man, this is what a man is supposed to do.’ I think it’s a pretty raw take on the kind of lives that we’re trying to portray on screen,” Whitney added.

Some of the cast of the upcoming revival series recently took the cover of Dazed magazine and opened up about their version of the show.

“We’re making a series in 2021. It’s really important for us to not just talk about (queer culture) but also express (it) as normal… It shouldn’t be this new, exciting thing to talk about, it just exists. It’s about normalizing things that used to be different or taboo,” Emily shared.

“It’s really important to create that sense of bonding between all of us, because that’s the point of the show. The interconnectedness of this group – who we are around this or that person and what elements of the character are brought out when they’re allowed to be that version of themselves with that character,” Jordan added.

If you missed it, the main characters’ names were all revealed earlier this year, along with a defining characteristic!

Ed Westwick is speaking out about the possibility of the return of Chuck Bass!

In a new interview promoting his upcoming movie Me You Madness, the actor opened up about coming back for the Gossip Girl revival.

“I think it would be a very cool idea. I haven’t been approached really about it. This is very much its own thing and I wish them all the best. I’m very excited to see what they do,” he told Access Hollywood. “I’ve been in touch with the creators just wishing them the best, Josh [Safran] and Stephanie [Savage]. I know they’re excited.”

“Look, I mean I would never say no, but at this moment there is nothing to report,” he added.

Ed also shared that he somewhat keeps in touch with his OG co-stars.

“A little bit from time to time. It’s funny how life happens, right? I mean, everyone’s kind of off doing their thing, but I see them on social media and sometimes at events. Yeah, we talk from time to time. As long as everyone’s healthy and happy, I’m happy,” he said.

The Gossip Girl revival series has gained another Broadway great!

It was recently announced that Donna Murphy has been cast in the new HBO Max series as the school’s headmistress, showrunner Joshua Safran confirmed to OK! Magazine.

Donna has quite the extensive resume, from Broadway to film and television. She is also the voice of Mother Gothel in the Disney film Tangled, as well as the spinoff series Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure!

He also told the publication that they are trying to have cameos in every episode of the show, which is set to have 12 episodes in it’s first season.

“There’s a fashion event in the pilot, so there are fashion cameos, there’s a charity event in episode 2,” he revealed. “There’s a very big cameo in episode three. Big, to me! Luckily that cameo happens to be in New York — we just lucked out — and, frankly, we haven’t shot it yet, so for all I know that cameo could leave New York, and it would be difficult.”

Joshua shared that it’s a little difficult to just bring anyone in with COVID safety protocols and restrictions, so it’s easier to cast special appearances if someone is already in New York.

He’s also hoping to get a big music star – “There’s a big musical artist [planned to be] in one of the episodes; we are hoping that is possible.”

“I couldn’t be more excited for Karena to launch the new series,” showrunner Joshua Safran also said. “Her vision, voice, and passion are incomparable. It’s an honor and a privilege to get to work with her, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what she has planned.”
