Gossip Girl Reboot Slated for July

HBOMax's Queer and Diverse Reboot of Gossip Girl Premieres this Summer.

I'll be watching...at first. The original started great, but I'd rather be waterboarded than watch the final season again.

Making Dan the gossip girl made no damn sense. And I'm guessing there will be like two or three non-binary characters in this remake? Pass.

Awful.

According to Joshua Safran

[Quote]"We're all Gossip Girl now," he stated. "We are all purveyors of our own social media surveillance state."

[Quote]He also said that there is an unexpected twist coming to the show that fans haven't picked up on yet.

Thomas Doherty character Max will be similar to Chuck Bass but unlike in the original with Chuck his character Max will get the chance to kiss and fuck boys too.

Cant's wait. Loved Tom Doherity on Legacies and as campy pirate in The Decedents. The show also features Eli Brown who was playing a gay character in Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists and in the movie The Fuck-It List. A shame that the PLL spin off was canceled after one season.

So sorry, Eli Brown's character in The Fuck-It List isn't gay, but the movie features a minor gay character coming out.

I thought he was from early on, but the bad writing - slut-shaming his sister- was classic Schwarz

I did a rewatch before the original left Netflix. The high school years were good soapy fun. Excellent TV. After that....ABANDON SHIP

A reboot of a show I never even watched to begin with.

Lovely.

You can just tell the new cast will be be dull pieces of driftwood —not one ounce of charisma insight.

Looks woke. Seems soporific.

This wasn't a great show, the first time around

The reboot sounds positively dreadful

Not that the original cast was much good. Look at Ed and Leighton, who had the breakout characters. They have never given good performances since. In the latter’s case, it was all about her clothes.

by Anonymousreply 16April 29, 2021 12:29 PM

Leighton was a good actress. She should have went on to a better career because unlike the blonde chick, she had talent.

by Anonymousreply 17April 29, 2021 10:40 PM

R14 i'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

by Anonymousreply 18May 1, 2021 11:27 AM

To be fair, Ed's career lost a lot of momentum once the rape allegations started. Leighton has worked consistently but not as high-profile as Blake and Penn.

by Anonymousreply 19May 1, 2021 11:49 AM

Is it just me or is the main cast really unattractive this time?

by Anonymousreply 20May 1, 2021 12:03 PM

Leighton was born in prison, but went on to marry Adam Brody. She's fine.

I'm not watching unless 90% of the cast is trans!

Believe it, R10. I wasn't interested then, and I'm not now.

The original GG was trashy fun (except for the super-annoying Vanessa character) but the reboot looks awful.

by Anonymousreply 24May 1, 2021 12:47 PM

It looks like the "Heathers" reboot.

So will it have a gay male character? Only time will tell I guess....

No need for a gay character since there's a trans one.

[quote]Leighton was a good actress

She was given a juicy soap opera matriarch type role in Gossip Girl and kudos to her for not being vain enough to be unlikeable, but she's not a good actress at all.

by Anonymousreply 31May 29, 2021 1:00 PM

I really can’t see any member of this cast becoming as big as Blake Lively - who became a favorite of Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld etc.

by Anonymousreply 32May 29, 2021 1:58 PM

I think there will be a gay male character. I mean there's a guy in the trailer with pink hair, kinda obvious, no? I read that he will be struggling with his sexuality.

I've been saying this for years but Netflix ELITE is everything I wish Gossip Girl was, minus the dead body (which GG had). I'm laz and put on the English dubbing. Episode one is a little off but the show hits it's stride and has 3-ways, bi, and gay characters without making them into in your face gimmick. The cast is scorching hot which this new GG cast is not. Season 4 is about to come out!

the new GG gave off Elite vibes

by Anonymousreply 37June 11, 2021 3:43 PM

R35, the sex in Elite is pretty mindblowing compared to what you see in American R rated movies. The Spanish really know how to do sex well.

by Anonymousreply 38June 12, 2021 12:42 AM

I find it very odd how they're rebooting or making sequels to TV shows that aren't even old. GG was very much a product of its time.

by Anonymousreply 39June 12, 2021 12:45 AM

I remember all the girls in school squealing about GG when it came out. That had to be around my Sophomore year of high school. The CW was only available if you had cable in my area so I didn’t watch it until it was on Netflix. It pulled me in and had a good season with Serin being blackmailed and forced into rehab, then the show just started to suck. Now I can’t even attempt to rewatch any of the original since it’s all so lame and stupid (thirty15-18 year olds drinking in a legit bar on a school night?).

The show runner for this is the same from The OC. Both shows hated or suppressed their gay characters so fuck Josh Swartz (spelling). Serina’s brother is gay. Do we get a storyline dedicated to that beyond one episode of a closet jock getting out? Do we get to see him form a relationship with a guy? No and no, m He’s basically written out for the show.

by Anonymousreply 40June 12, 2021 2:50 PM

The OC had Luke's gay dad and Marissa's "phase" with Alex. I don't recall any other gay characters.

Blake did well as she was a Harvey girl. Many photos of them arm in arm.

So Evan Mock is apparently straight (claims to be anyway), yet he's a Madonna stan and Frank Ocean took him under his wing. Straight my ass. He is at least bi.
