Nine years after going offline, the iconic stalker is back in the new trailer for HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot.
The show brings the story back to the Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Jude’s School for Boys, with the stalker stepping into the social media age.
Instead of a website that tracks both schools’ elite students, it’s now an anonymous Instagram account, with Kristen Bell returning to lend her voice to the title character.
