The original Gossip Girl ran for six amazing seasons between 2007 and 2012 and no one has forgotten how incredible it was. It was way ahead of its time when it came to the idea of social media, have fans, friends, and followers, and more. The show starred actors and actresses like Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford, and Taylor Momsen. These awesome actors have moved on to other awesome projects since the final episode of Gossip Girl wrapped but we still adore them just as much. Penn Badgley is starring on Netflix's You which might help tide us over as we wait for this reboot.

The rebooted version of the show may or may not include all of the faces we know and love but either way, we are super excited to see what is coming. Continue reading to find out everything we know so far about this highly anticipated reboot!

15 Kristen Bell Will Be Narrating The Reboot

Kristen Bell narrated the original first six seasons of Gossip Girl between 2007 and 2012. We are so excited to learn that she will be returning as the narrator in the reboot.
