After the success of the Gilmore Girls four-part reunion on Netflix and the buzz around the upcoming new season of Will & Grace after more than a decade since it ended, reunions of beloved TV show casts are what everyone’s talking about.
Teen drama Gossip Girl, starring Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick had a loyal cult following until it ended in 2012, and still enjoys a relevance beyond the TV screen in giphs and memes.

Now the show’s fan base is in their twenties, wouldn’t it be the ideal time to reunite the cast for a one-off special, or even a season?
No, according to Westwick.
“That’s not gonna happen,” the actor, who played Chuck Bass told the Radio Times.
“I know there’s a bunch of them coming back — I hear they’re doing Will and Grace, they’ve done Gilmore Girls…
“But it’s such a strange thing to think about. It feels like we only just finished! And I haven’t done enough in between yet to feel like I could comfortably revisit it. And I did so much with that character — it’s played out, man. It’s done.”
There is one disclaimer to the 29-year-old’s refusal, though: if Netflix was doing it.
“I’ll do it then,” he said.
We’d love to see this happen, although Blake Lively might be too busy with another reunion; she’s rumoured to be working on bringing the cast of The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants back together for a new movie or other on-screen special.
Ed has returned to his native England to star in BBC Two’s White Gold, a sitcom from one of the creators of The Inbetweeners in which he plays a salesman in 1980s Essex.
