While the OG Gossip Girl cast won't be returning for the reboot, Kristen Bell - the voice of Gossip Girl - will reprise her role.
Speaking about the potential for the old cast to return to the reboot, Josh Schwartz said in 2019: "We’ve reached out to all of them to let them know it was happening, and we’d love for them to be involved if they want to be involved, but certainly didn’t want to make it contingent upon [them being involved].
"They played these characters for six years, and if they felt like they were good with that, we want to respect that, but obviously...it would be great to see them again."
