It&#8217;s been eight years since the original Gossip Girl went dark, and now a new generation is under the watchful eye of the mysterious blogger. Look for the series to address how much social media\u2014and New York\u2014has changed since the original series wrapped up.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Bell, no original star is signed on\u2026yet.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"58.035211267606\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"12.267605633803\">\n<p>&#8220;I mean, the door is open.
