Hey Upper East Siders, some big news here: Kristen Bell, the voice of Gossip Girl, is going to narrate HBO Max’s “Gossip Girl” sequel series.
“Kristen Bell has always been and will always be the voice of ‘Gossip Girl,’” the show’s producers said in a statement Thursday.
Based on the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar, the original “Gossip Girl” aired for six seasons between 2007 and 2012 and was one of the first original series for The CW. The sequel, which will be 10 episodes, will take place eight years after the events of the original series, which starred Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick, and be a completely new story set in the same world.
