Gossip Girl star Kristen Bell returns to voice title character

Gossip Girl's new trailer features a voiceover that is sure to be familiar to fans of the show! Kristen Bell is back as "Gossip Girl," serving as the voice of the anonymous blogger once again. Bell is the only original cast member confirmed to be involved in the reboot. However, in 2019, Chace Crawford— who played "Nate Archibald"— said that he would be open to making a cameo appearance!

Back in March, it was announced that Bell would return to Gossip Girl along with creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, as well as showrunner Jonathan Safran. The lineup of new cast members starring in the reboot has also been revealed! Whitney Peak, Emily Alyn Lind, Eli Brown, Jason Gotay, and Johnathan Fernandez are joining the new ensemble of privileged Manhattan teens the show revolves around.
