Ed Westwick, who starred in Gossip Girl as playboy Chuck Bass, weighed in on a potential return to the best-known role of his career after news broke that a standalone sequel was in the works for Blair Waldorf.
The author whose work inspired the popular drama series is preparing a new script based on Chuck’s girlfriend, played by Leighton Meester in the television adaptation of the original novel.
Elsewhere, Westwick was asked about a potential spinoff based on his character, as the report 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 think anything is possible in this world, so yeah, it would be great to know what Chuck is up to these days, of course!”
He then detailed one of his favorite scenes from filming the series, which happened to be the third season finale: “My favorite scene was when I was on top of the Empire State Building, but not so much because of the filming.”
“They let me climb the needle of the Empire State Building, which no one can get in except like the handyman or something. And it was really really cool to be able to go up there. I wore a full tuxedo and I went up that needle.”
In the meantime, Gossip Girl It was recently confirmed that author Cecily Von Ziegesar had reached a deal to write a new novel, currently titled Blair.
Deadline reported that the book has set a tentative release target for summer 2027.
