'Gossip Girl' Reboot Is Directed By A Black Woman And We’re Here For It
“God’s Plan” and “Nice for What.” Now, in Evans’ latest role as the director of the Gossip Girl reboot, she’s venturing down a new avenue.

The 2021 revival focuses on social media and again, the lifestyle of privileged high schoolers in the 2020s.
