It’s official, Upper East Siders! The cast members of the upcoming Gossip Girl reboot have been fully revealed.
And while we may have conjured up our own dream GG reboot cast back when plans for a new adaptation were announced in July 2019, we have to say—the new stars are looking pretty promising thus far, with production on the series kicking off in New York on November 2. Check out the full casts! xoxo.
1. Emily Alyn Lind
Nineteen-year-old Emily Alyn Lind was the first star announced as part of the Gossip Girl reboot cast. The American actress (whose mother Barbara Alyn Woods starred in One Tree Hill, no less!) has had roles in Revenge and The Babysitter. She is also presently starring in the Facebook Watch series Sacred Lies.
According to Deadline, Lind will play a character named Audrey, who “has been in a long term relationship and is beginning to wonder what more could be out there.”
Lind is also quite the singer, having posted multiple videos of her covering songs while playing guitar to her Instagram page.
2. Zion Moreno
Born in Texas and brought up in New Mexico, Moreno started her career as a model at the age of 19 after signing with globally renowned agencies Elite and Wilhelmina in both New York and Los Angeles. Moreno, who is transgender, had her first acting role in the film K-12 and recently appeared in the TV show Claws. Nothing is known about her character yet, but there is a photo on her Instagram page that gives us major Blair Waldorf vibes.
3. Savannah Smith
Newcomer Savannah Smith has landed her first role with a currently unnamed lead character in the Gossip Girl reboot. Per Deadline, she’s “believed to be one of the cool girls at school ”. Smith is presently studying acting at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
4. Tavi Gevinson
The latest to be announced as part of the cast of Gossip Girl’s upcoming reboot, Tavi Gevinson is a writer and actress extraordinaire. Now 23, she was just 11-years-old when she started her blog Style Rookie, which caught the eyes of the fashion industry and propelled Gevinson’s fame in style circles, leading her to sit in the front row at all the major fashion weeks.
She eventually turned her blog into Rookie, an online magazine fashion and pop culture magazine for young people (although it still exists, it is no longer publishing). She has previously starred in the films Scream Queens and The Twilight Zone.
5. Thomas Doherty
While he certainly has the Chuck Bass jawline, nothing is known about 24-year-old Thomas Doherty’s role in the reboot as yet. Announced alongside Gevinson, the Scottish actor is known for his roles as Sean Matthews on the Disney Channel musical series The Lodge and as Harry Hook in the Descendants film franchise.
6. Adam Chanler-Berat
Chanler-Berat is an American stage and film actor and singer. He’s best known for his work on Broadway, having originated the roles in a number of musicals. The 33-year-old also set to act alongside his upcoming reboot co-star Tavi Gevinson in an Off-Broadway revival of the play Assassins. A proud Elizabeth Warren supporter, he has previously made cameos on The Good Wife and Veep.
7. Evan Mock
Model and skateboard star Evan Mock will be making his acting debut in the reboot. No information has been released about his character at this stage.
8. Jason Gotay
