Gossip Girl — HBO Max
Tapping into our collective need for comfort and nostalgia, fast forward more than a decade and a Gossip Girl reboot is on the way. Self-expression, social reform and defining gender roles are just some of the issues which the new show promises to tackle. Representation has been at the forefront, gone is the Caucasian heavy cast of old. Replacing them is a more believable mix of Latin, Black and Caucasian characters. Along with the promise of a well-deserved dose of reality on the Upper East Side.
