A Breakdown of All the Easter Eggs in the Gossip Girl Reboot - You Know You Love It

-

HBO Max's Gossip Girl reboot is shaking up the Upper East Side. The new series premiered on July 8, and while it features some key differences - including the reveal of Gossip Girl in the very first episode - you can rest assured that it still pays tribute to the original series. Throughout the first four episodes, there are a handful of fun Easter eggs that will get fans very excited, including a few casual name drops and some intentional fashion choices.

It's still unclear which stars from the original will make an appearance, although showrunner Joshua Safran is hopeful. "There are more returning characters coming," Safran told TVLine. "We haven't closed their deals yet, so I say that with a grain of sand and a prayer, but yes, we're going to have a lot of fun." The cast also guaranteed that there will be even more references to the original as the season goes on. While chatting with POPSUGAR ahead of the premiere, Zión Moreno and Savannah Smith both noted that there is one particular Easter egg in episode four that they think fans of the original will "really love." Read ahead for all the Easter eggs so far, and be sure to check back for more when new episodes drop on HBO Max every Thursday.

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity.

Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
