Meet Jordan Alexander, Whitney Peak and Savannah Lee Smith ‘Gossip Girl’ Characters

Jordan Alexander, Whitney Peak, and Savannah Lee Smith have been killing in part 1 of ‘Gossip Girl’ for season 1. If you don’t know about their characters then you are about to learn.

Julien Calloway:

Rich, popular, half African-American Junior at Constance, estranged half-sister to Zoya. Famous Instagram influencer. Her father, DAVIS, is a famous record producer and his access to celebrities gave her a platform for celebrity interviews at a very young age.

Zoya Lott:

Lower middle class, new-to-Constance. Half-sister of Julien. She is not a follower by any means. She wants to be a playwright, and is definitely afraid of being sucked into this new world and having her goals derailed. Zoya and Nick live in Nick’s mother’s rent-controlled Upper West Side Prewar 5. It’s lovely, but not fancy.

Monet de Haan:

Monet is Julien’s close friend and functions as her PR person. Is one of the richest kids at Constance. Her parents, Greyson and Camille, are in big pharma. Is pretty powerful; what she says goes. Does not like her status quo being challenged.

Developed by showrunner Joshua Safran, a writer and executive producer on the original series, this extension of the pop culture classic takes us back to the Upper East Side to find a new generation of New York private school teens being introduced to social surveillance, nine years after the original blogger’s website went dark. The series is based on the bestselling novels by Cecily von Ziegesar and the original show, developed by Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage, which ran from 2007-2012 on The CW.

GOSSIP GIRL explores just how much social media — and the landscape of New York itself — has changed in the intervening years. The series stars Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, Tavi Gevinson, Emily Alyn Lind, Evan Mock, Zion Moreno, Whitney Peak and Savannah Lee Smith with Todd Almond, Adam Chanler-Berat, Johnathan Fernandez and Jason Gotay.

GOSSIP GIRL is produced by Fake Empire and Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios. The series is written, executive produced and developed by Joshua Safran of Random Acts. Executive producers also include Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of Fake Empire, and Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo of Alloy Entertainment. Lis Rowinski of Fake Empire serves as co-executive producer. Karena Evans directs two episodes and original costume designer Eric Daman rejoins the series.
