Who Is the New Queen of Constance on the Gossip Girl Reboot? We Know You're Curious

11/11/2020 - 06:00 PM

Hey, Upper East Siders, we have some exciting news for you: HBO Max's anticipated Gossip Girl [1] reboot is finally underway. On Nov. 10, the cast — Evan Mock [2], Emily Alyn Lind, Thomas Doherty, Eli Brown, Jordan Alexander, Zion Moreno, Savannah Lee Smith, Whitney Peak, Tavi Gevinson, and Adam Chanler-Berat — was spotted filming in NYC, and the photos will make fans of the original series completely nostalgic. Not only are they wearing Constance Billard [3] and St. Jude's school uniforms, but they're sitting on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I don't know about you, but the photos are raising so many questions. Who are these new students [4]? What's their story? And most importantly: who is the new Queen Bee?

So far, details about the new show [5] and the characters have been kept under wraps. Although, being a big fan of the original, that didn't stop me from analysing each and every set photo. One group shot shows the cast sitting and laughing on the steps, while another telling photo shows Jordan Alexander and Zion Moreno putting a headband on Whitney Peak. Perhaps they're crowning the new Queen of Constance? Read ahead for even more theories as you get pumped for the reboot, which is expected to drop sometime in 2021.

Is Emily Alyn Lind the New Queen of Constance on Gossip Girl?

While most of the cast's roles are being kept under wraps, Emily Alyn Lind's character is the only one that has a name. She will be playing Audrey [6], a young high schooler who has been in a relationship for a while and is "beginning to wonder what more could be out there." To me, that sounds much more like a Serena than a Queen Bee, but to each their own.

Is Whitney Peak the New Queen of Constance on Gossip Girl?

While Whitney Peaks's Constance uniform is giving me major Jenny Humphrey vibes, one accessory is very telling: her headband. In a few of the photos, Jordan Alexander and Zion Moreno's characters are spotted placing a green headband on her head. Perhaps they're crowning the new Queen Bee?

Is Savannah Lee Smith the New Queen of Constance on Gossip Girl?

I don't know about you, but Savannah Lee Smith's outfit is giving me major Blair Waldorf vibes. Of course, that's not much to go on, but it is worth noting that her and Zion Moreno's characters were spotted sitting at the top of the Met steps, aka the spot reserved for the Queen of Constance.

Is Zion Moreno the New Queen of Constance on Gossip Girl?

There is a lot of evidence that Zion Moreno's character could be the reigning Queen Bee. As previously noted, she's sitting above everyone else at the Met steps, and she's spotted putting a headband on Whitney Peak. Plus, that necktie and those socks also look like they're straight out of Blair Waldorf's closet. Maybe Zion Moreno and Savannah Lee Smith's characters are just big fans of Waldorf Designs?

Is Jordan Alexander the New Queen of Constance on Gossip Girl?

Not only is Jordan Alexander's character shown putting a headband on Whitney Peak — like a Queen Bee passing down her crown — but she's also front and centre for most of the group shots of the cast.

Is Tavi Gevinson the New Queen of Constance on Gossip Girl?

Based on these images alone, it doesn't look like Tavi Gevinson is the Queen of Constance. She's not in many group shots, and she's spotted sitting at the very bottom of the steps of the Met. A Queen Bee would never!
