We have fledglings in the Upper East Side. What drama will they bring this time around? XOXO, Gossip Girl
Attention USEers. The world’s a whole lot different since we’ve last been to the Met steps. New faces have appeared on our radar, so we just have to speak up. It’s been boring in little ol’ Manhattan lately. And new blood can…spice things up. Since Gossip Girl has been on an extended hiatus, it’s been dark the past several years. But fret not, darlings. Our reach is as good as Gossip Girl’s. We’re the best stand-in this side of New York.

Grace. Perspective. Privilege. Freedom. Influence. Innocence. Style. Power. Ambition. What could these 9 new Upper East Siders possibly bring to the table? Their roles are a little hush hush for now. Although we hear it’s a buffet of gossip and scandals. Could it be that the reign of It Girl Serena and Queen Blair has finally ended? It’s been years! But in this town, drama never really stays quiet.
Are you ready for Gossip Girl’s comeback on HBO Max? That’s one secret we can’t wait to tell.
XOXO,
(not) Gossip Girl
