A decade after the iconic original series of «Gossip Girl», fans can now meet the new generation of Upper East Siders. This Thursday, HBO Max released the first episode of the show’s reboot which was developed by Josh Schwartz Y Stephanie Savage and starring Blake Lively Y Leighton Meester. The new version comes from the hand of the same creators, who have considered that the fiction format fits perfectly with the current social scenario.
The opinions of those who have had the opportunity to see the new edition are diverse. For The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly, the new “Gossip Girl” has been halfway between the original series and newer ones that do better explore the generational reality of its young protagonists. Vulture, meanwhile, calls it “hollow at its center or frivolous,” while TIME magazine has found it most entertaining.
The reboot of “Gossip Girl” has a completely renewed cast in which the actors from the original series have nothing to do with it. Now it is other young people who are at the forefront of the project, where the new class of wealthy elites in Constance Billard are being tormented through an Instagram account reborn by their own teachers, led by Kate Keller, played by Tavi Gevinson.
On Twitter, the reactions of users and fans of the series have been felt. “Oh no. How dare they? Copies are the worst and making one of a series like Gossip Girl was how daring. Even if they mention Chuck, Blair, Serena and Dan to me in the first episode they will not convince me, “said a fan in response to the HBO Max tweet that said:” Welcome back to the Upper East Side. The premiere of Gossip Girl is airing now.
The synopsis of the television program indicates that “with the addition of the use of social networks, gossip will be at the service of those who know best how to use them.” The cast includes new talents such as Whitney Peak, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock Y Jordan Alexander. However, there are those who still remember Blake Lively. “Who can reboot Gossip Girl?” OR NOTHING IS GOING TO EQUAL THE ORIGINAL. I NEED BLAKE LIVELY, LEIGHTON MEESTER AND ED WESTICK, “said one more.
