Get to Know the New 'Gossip Girl' Cast
Prepare for another trip to the Upper East Side and the ever-watchful eye of Gossip Girl.
While just about everyone will remember Gossip Girl's original run on The CW — love it or hate it — HBO Max is set to reboot the trials and tribulations of upper-crust New York teenagers and all the trouble they can get into at their private schools. And it's coming soon — as in, JULY!
Snapshots from the show's production have already garnered plenty of thoughts, especially since the cast is decidedly more diverse than everyone's first fictional foray into the world of New York society. And knowing that the series shot stars Leighton Meester, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, and Chace Crawford into the stratosphere, it's likely that the new cast is about to make it big — very big.

Emily Alyn Lind
One of the first names attached to the reboot, Lind will portray Audrey Hope. Deadline reports that the character "has been in a long term relationship and is beginning to wonder what more could be out there." She sounds a lot like Blair Waldorf, though viewers won't know any more details until the show hits HBO Max.
Lind's résumé includes ABC's Revenge, where she played a young Amanda Clarke, and CBS's Code Black. She's also had roles in Days of Our Lives, All My Children, Criminal Minds, Hawaii Five-0, The Secret Life of Bees, and The Babysitter.
