'Gossip Girl' Reboot Full Cast List: Meet Kristen Bell and other stars from HBO Max show
Gossip and glamour will come together once more in the reboot of 'Gossip Girl' coming soon to HBO Max. While most of the creative team behind the reboot including showrunner Joshua Safran worked on the original, the cast of the reboot is full of fresh faces.
So just who are these fresh faces and what are the roles they will play in the reboot? Also considering that the original cast such as Blake Lively and Leighton Meester went on to become such style icons, can we expect to see any of them reprise their original roles in the reboot? While it seems highly unlikely that we will see Lively or Meester make even a special appearance on the reboot, there is one member of the original cast who returns for the reboot and that is Kristen Bell. Kristen Bell who was the voice of 'Gossip Girl' in the original, will return to narrate the reboot as well. Let's now meet the rest of the cast of the all-new 'Gossip Girl'.
