XOXO, is one of these actors playing the new Gossip Girl?
Emily Alyn Lind will play one of the lead characters, Audrey, in the HBO Max reboot, Deadline reports. She “has been in a long term relationship and is beginning to wonder what more could be out there.” When better for that to happen than when Gossip Girl is around to stir up some drama?
