Xoxo, Gossip Girl

Jordan Alexander as Julien Calloway

Jordan Alexander stars in the HBO Max series as Julien Calloway, a socialite and influencer who rules the school despite taking a backseat to the throne this season. After her father was wrapped up in a sexual assault scandal, Julien has moved in with her half-sister, Zoya, and Zoya’s father, Nick, as she determines her goals for this tumultuous moment in her life.

You might recognize Alexander from “Unbury the Biscuit,” “Rookie Blue” and “Sacred Lies.”

Whitney Peak as Zoya Lott

Whitney Peak also stars as Zoya, a freshman new to the world of the Upper East Side who lives with her father, Nick, and now navigates living with her half-sister, Julien, whose wardrobe takes up half of her room. Zoya also deepens her friendship with Shan and her family — though this friendship might have its own consequences.

You might have seen Peak in “Hocus Pocus 2,” “Home Before Dark” and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.”

Eli Brown as Obie

Eli Brown returns as Obie, or “Noble O” as Gossip Girl likes to call him. Obie is an activist who frequently butts heads with his mother who runs a corporate conglomerate that funds his luxurious NYC accommodations. Despite getting dragged into a love triangle between Julien and Zoya, Obie has turned his attention to Grace, a politician’s daughter he started dating before Thanksgiving.

Brown has previously appeared in “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionist,” “Spinning Out” and “Wrath of Man.”

Savannah Lee Smith as Monet

Savannah Lee Smith plays Monet, a confidant of Julien’s whose loyalty is increasingly tested as Julien refuses Monet’s help to up her influencer game. These annoyances weigh on Monet as she sets her sights on a place for herself.

She will appear in the upcoming “Something Here.”

Zión Moreno as Luna

Zión Moreno reprises her role as Luna, Julien’s most loyal sidekick who steps in to defend Julien’s reign when a challenger threatens to take the throne.

Moreno can be seen in “Claws,” “Control Z” and “K-12.”
