Ed Westwick who starred Gossip Girl as playboy Chuck Bass, has weighed in on a potential return to the best-known role of his career following news that a standalone sequel is being prepared for Blair Waldorf.
The author, whose work inspired the popular drama series, is planning the new text based on Chuck’s girlfriend, who was played by Leighton Meester in the TV adaptation of the original novel.
Elsewhere, Westwick was asked about a potential spinoff based on his character as reports of the Blair sequel circulated.
“It would be super interesting to see where Chuck Bass is. I just think it would be really hard to get everyone together,” he said on Hits Radio UK. “You know what? I guess anything is possible in this world, so yeah, it would be great to know what Chuck’s up to these days—for sure!”
He further described one of his favorite scenes from the show’s filming, which happened to be the season three finale: “My favorite scene was when I was on top of the Empire State Building, but not so much because of filming it.”
“They let me climb the spire of the Empire State Building, which nobody’s allowed to go inside except as a handyman or something. And it was just really, really cool that I got to go up there. I was like wearing a full tuxedo and climbing into this spire.”
Meanwhile Gossip Girl Author Cecily Von Ziegesar was recently confirmed to have signed a deal to write a new novel titled Blair.
Deadline reported that the book has set a tentative publication target of summer 2027.
