Gossip Girl: Where are the original cast now?

Remind me: Outsider Dan Humphrey who *spoiler alert* is eventually unmasked as Gossip Girl.

What he’s done since: 2018 saw Penn take on serial killer and master manipulator Joe Goldberg in Netflix’s You, a role that thrust him back into the spotlight. Season four came out earlier this year and the fifth season is currently in production. Prior to that came small roles in NBC’s The Slap and film The Paper Store, which is on Amazon Prime.

Penn launched a podcast last year called Podcrushed with co-hosts Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari.

Since 2014 Penn has been in a relationship with Domino Kirke and the pair welcomed their first child together in 2020.

Remind me: Nate Archibald, the privileged serial dater who gives off lost puppy vibes.

What he’s done since: After picking up a few jobs here and there (including a one-off in Glee), Chace struck gold playing Kevin The Deep in Amazon Prime’s uber successful superhero show, The Boys, which has had three seasons, btw.

He's also starred in the film Inheritance alongside Lily Collins.

Remind me: Anti-hero Chuck Bass, whose on-again-off-again relationship with Blair has been meme'd a thousand times over.

What he’s done since: Playing the lead in 2016’s Wicked City was followed by a role in the TV adaptation of Snatch (2017). More recently, he played Vincent in BBC’s White Gold, which ran for two seasons.

He's currently in a relationship with model Amy Jackson.

Remind me: Social climber and drama-inducer Jenny Humphrey, Dan’s younger sister, who idolises Blair and Serena.

What she’s done since: Taylor swapped role playing for rock music, and is now the lead singer of band The Pretty Reckless. Their most recent album, Death By Rock and Roll, came out in February 2021.

Remind me: Jessica played Vanessa Abrams, Dan Humphrey’s friend and eventually girlfriend from his past who infiltrates his new life on the Upper East Side.

What she’s done since: Jessica has had recurring roles in everything from Complications and Kingdom to the US version of Shameless and Twin Peaks. Most recently she's had a lead role in the series The Orville, which is currently on its third season on Disney+.

In 2019 Jessica began dating ice hockey player Brad Richardson and the pair welcomed their first child in January 2021.

Remind me: Serena’s younger brother Eric Van Der Woodsen, who attempts to stay out of the drama (and succeeds, mostly…)

What he’s done since: After playing Declan Porter in the successful Revenge between 2011 - 2015, Eric’s next recurring role came in 2017’s Business Doing Pleasure. In the last few years he's starred in a number of films including Distancing Socially, Ambush and The Young Wife.

Remind me: Georgina Sparks, an old frenemy of Serena who gets into more trouble than the rest of the characters put together.

What she’s done since: After playing Anna in 2015’s Guidance, Michelle landed roles in 2018’s Robot Chicken and as the voice of Judy Reilly in Facebook Watch’s Human Kind Of. In 2021 she began her own web series 'Meet, Marry, Murder' and in 2022 she reprised her iconic role of Georgina Sparks in the new Gossip Girl reboot for two episodes.

Remind me: Serena and Eric’s mum Lily Van Der Woodsen, who has relationships with both Dan Humphrey’s dad and Chuck Bass’s father Bart.

What she’s done since: Kelly has been in a LOT. She played Cynthia Phillips in Being Mary Jane, followed by Claire Hotchkiss in Pretty Little Liars spin-off The Perfectionists and Melissa Daniels in Dynasty.

Remind me: Dan and Jenny’s dad Rufus Humphrey, who starts seeing Serena’s mother Lily while their children are dating.

What he’s done since: This and that, but mainly roles in small time films including Ouija (2014), Marshall’s Miracle (2015), The Faith Of Anna Waters (2016) and Valentine (2017).
