Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick teases reunion with original cast after reboot is delayed until 2021

ED Westwick has sent Gossip Girl fans into meltdown after teasing a reunion on social media over the weekend.

Ed, 32, took to Instagram on Sunday evening and shared a black image with the letters “xoxo” written in pink.

Fans of the teen drama will remember that “xoxo” was Gossip Girls’ infamous sign off at the end of each episode.

The British-born actor teased his followers further by captioning the post: “Got a little something for you…Tomorrow 1pm..
Hint….xoxo.”

Ed’s 7.1 million followers were quick to comment on the snap, with some even impersonating Gossip Girl.

One person wrote: “Hey upper east siders, looks like chuck has some news that no one saw coming. How will B react? You know you love me, xoxo gossip girl.”

A second follower added: “idk what’s happening but I’m excited (sic),” while a third said: “I need CHUCK BASS again in my life!!!!”

Ed played the role of rich kid Chuck in the iconic show, which followed the trials and tribulations of upper class New York teens, and starred Blake Lively, Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley.

The series came to an end in 2012 after six seasons, when it was revealed that Penn’s character Dan Humphrey was in fact Gossip Girl.

Ed’s cryptic post comes after it was revealed the Gossip Girl reboot has been postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The US hit was heading back to TV screens for the first time since 2012 with a twist – but action has been halted.

HBO Max chief content officer Kevin Reilly told Vulture: “They hadn’t even started production yet. They were in pre-production and ready to roll.”

He continued: “Things that would have been really meaningful and high profile have gotten pushed back.”

The revamped show will focus on a new bunch of bratty private school rich kids whose lives will be chronicled by the mysterious blogger known as Gossip Girl.
