For starters, there seems to be a big "twist" with how Gossip Girl is portrayed on this instalment of the series. But, unfortunately, that's really all we have to go on. In the original, Gossip Girl was a blogger, but in the reboot, Gossip Girl becomes "more like an all-encompassing social media platform." Showrunner Josh Safran further teased the twist telling Cosmo, "My hope is that we make it to airing and people don't know. I would love to see that conversation happen in the context of people having seen it as opposed to talking about something they haven't seen."
