It's been six years since Gossip Girl ended, and we still miss it. Those Upper East Siders were a big part of our lives for six seasons, and since Gossip Girl was revealed, they've gone their separate ways. Some of the stars have moved on to new shows, while the queen bees of New York City have gotten married and had babies. While a lot has changed for the stars in the past few years, we will be heading back to the Upper East Side very soon. WarnerMedia announced they are creating a Gossip Girl spinoff series with brand-new characters for its new streaming service, HBO Max. As we cross our fingers for a cameo from Serena and Blair, take a look ahead to see what the original stars of Gossip Girl are all up to now.
Lively has moved onto movies since wrapping Gossip Girl. She most recently starred in Paul Feig's adaptation of A Simple Favor alongside Anna Kendrick and Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding. She also started a lifestyle website called Preserve, before shutting it down not long after. Oh, and Lively has also been super busy being married to Ryan Reynolds and producing two beautiful children with a third child on the way!
Meester married fellow teen icon Adam Brody in 2014 and gave birth to a baby girl named Arlo in 2015. (That's right: Seth married Blair.) She made a return to TV with the Fox comedy Making History in 2017 and currently stars on ABC's comedy series Single Parents.
After retiring from Gossip Girl, Badgley put his focus on his music with his band, MOTHXR. Though the group eventually disbanded, he recently returned to TV with Netflix's You, a thriller which has a few similarities to Gossip Girl.
