Outside of the delicious drama our favorite Upper East Siders deal with daily, what makes the Gossip Girl reboot great is the chemistry between the cast. It’s easy to believe that Julien, Audrey, Monet, Luna, Max, Aki, and Obie are in fact longtime friends because their respective actors – Jordan Alexander, Emily Alyn Lind, Savannah Lee Smith, Zion Moreno, Thomas Doherty, Evan Mock, and Eli Brown – are also friends in real life. Even the addition of Whitney Peak’s Zoya to the characters’ group of friends feels genuine because of her magnetic connection with them. Whether they’re goofing off between takes or enjoying an idyllic country retreat together, the Gossip Girl cast clearly knows how to have a good time. While we wait for part two of the HBO Max series to return in November, check out the cast’s cutest photos ahead.
