“Welcome back, Upper East Siders. After a long time away, I see it didn’t take much time for you to dirty up the clean slates I gave you,” read a caption for a photo of the original cast. Additionally, Leighton Meester, (Blair Waldorf), Penn Badgley (Dan Humphrey), Blake Lively and Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) were all tagged in the photo. The only two actors not tagged from the pic are Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) and Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey).
While nothing has been confirmed, the cryptic post has many fans either getting excited or trying to remain calm. Some believe this could be a reunion of some sort, especially after the last Gossip Girl series, which consisted of a whole new cast and plot, flopped and got canceled. Others, including writer Tyler McCall think it’s simply “HBO reminding people they have the OG streaming on Max!”
