Gossip Girl signed off with a final "XOXO" in 2012, but the cast has been busy in the decade following the hit teen drama series. The show first premiered in 2007 and ran for six seasons on The CW. Gossip Girl tells the story of a group of privileged teenagers residing on the Upper East Side of New York City. It chronicles their struggles as they navigate the complexities of adolescence while under the constant surveillance of an anonymous online blogger known only as "Gossip Girl." The show was ahead of its time when it comes to technology, social media, and discussions about privacy.
Gossip Girl was created by Joshua Ian Schwartz, based on a book series by Cecily von Ziegesar. The TV adaptation became a huge hit, and its style and cultural impact is still evident on-screen today. The show received 36 award nominations and 21 wins. The success of the original series led to the creation of a Gossip Girl reboot with a new cast in 2021, but it failed to live up to fans' expectations. The Gossip Girl reboot didn't work, and HBO canceled it after two seasons. By contrast, the original Gossip Girl launched the careers of its cast, with many of its stars seeing success.

Blake Lively starred as "It Girl" Serena van der Woodsen, the main character in Gossip Girl.

Taylor Momsen played Dan Humphrey's little sister, Jenny Humphrey, on Gossip Girl. Jenny begins the show rather timid, but as the series progresses, she starts climbing the social ladder.

Initially, Jenny constantly sought attention and approval from Blair, but as the show progressed, Jenny grew more confident and independent. With a newfound interest in clothing design, Jenny moved in with her mother in Hudson, New York. By the season finale, she was working for Waldorf Designs, having acquired her clothing line titled "J For Waldorf."
