Back in action: Jordan Alexander was seen filming the HBO Max Gossip Girl reboot on Thursday on location in New York City
While the original series aired on The CW, from 2002 to 2012, the new version is on streaming service HBO Max.
The ensemble of mostly unknown young actors play students at an exclusive Manhattan prep school, just like the characters in the original.
The 10-episode season is set eight years after the original Gossip Girl finale and is narrated by original star Kristen Bell.

It’s billed as an exploration of how social media has transformed the social scene of New York’s elites.
And while it’s commonly referred to as a Gossip Girl ‘reboot’, showrunner Joshua Safran has been at pains to stress that it really isn’t.
He has pointed out on his own social media that while it inhabits the same world as the original CW show, the cast are not playing original characters.
‘I really wanted this to feel like an extension and in no way a reboot. So it’s an evolution of the story, not a retread,’ he tweeted last year.
The rest of the cast is rounded out by Eli Brown, Adam Chanler-Berat, Whitney Peak, Evan Mock, Jonathan Fernandez, Thomas Doherty, Zión Moreno, Savannah Smith, Laura Benanti, Donna Murphy and Tavi Gevinson.

On trend: She had on a burgundy tank with blue plaid flannel shirt and beige jacket, paired with green pants and red bovver boots. She wore an orange beret over her blonde curls
The OGs: The original Gossip Girl made household names of Blake Lively, Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley and ran for six seasons on The CW from 2007 to 2012
