Teen drama

Hollywood star Kristen Bell will be back as a narrator in the upcoming Gossip Girl reboot, and she looks forward to returning to the world of the teen drama. The hit and subversive drama Gossip Girl is getting new life with a revival series on HBO Max. Bell will again take on the role of the narrator, which she did throughout the run of the original series.

While Bell only appeared on screen one time, playing herself in the series finale, the actress served as the voice of the anonymous author of the Gossip Girl website that served as the centre of the show’s premise. The original Gossip Girl, which ended in 2012 after six seasons, was based on the novel series written by Cecily von Ziegesar. It was about the antics of a group of teens from the Manhattan.

Bell said the voice of the narrator is really “the catty version” of her own voice, to compliment the nature of the show, and she can’t wait to get back into it. — IANS
