Gossip Girl Remake

HBO Max is making a remake of the CW Network’s teen drama series, Gossip Girl

The revival will consist of the same set of writers and producers from the original play, including Joshua Safran, Josh Schwartz, Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. TV, and CBS Television Studios. As per the old casts, there isn’t any confirmation yet whether they would make an appearance or not.
