Stars and creatives of HBO Max's Gossip Girl (Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Zión Moreno, Evan Mock, Joshua Safran, and Savannah Lee Smith) gather on September 28, 2021, with moderator Damian Holbrook to celebrate their show. Topics include: how the 2021 reboot is not a copy of The CW's 2007 version; why Safran agreed to write and executive produce the reboot after serving as writer/executive producer on the original; how the new characters reflect NYC's changing residential composition; if being on HBO Max has allowed producers to "push the envelope" more than was allowed in The CW's incarnation; why the show's wardrobe choices have become an integral element; unique ways in which LGBTQ+ issues have been explored, and Mock and Doherty's thoughts on their characters' sexuality; and the cast's reactions to filming in iconic NYC locales.
