“Gossip Girl reboot” reveal that, whether Dan and Serena are still together

• The power couple are up to now was revealed by HBO Max.
• Five years after getting married in the series finale of 2012.
• The fictional couple is still together and has a child, but Georgina is still torturing them.

Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) and Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), the power couple from the original series, are up to now was revealed by the HBO Max Gossip Girl revival.

The modern-day Gossip Girl, Kate Keller (Tavi Gevinson), was taken hostage at Dan and Serena’s apartment by Serena’s old rival Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) during episode 2 of season 6, which aired on Thursday, December 29. Five years after getting married in the series finale of 2012, the fictional couple are still together and have a child, but Georgina is still torturing them.

“This is Dan and Serena’s house. They fired their staff when they thought someone was breaking in,” Georgina revealed to Kate in Thursday’s episode, explaining that she’d been sneaking into the duo’s home to wreak havoc for years. “They put up cameras everywhere. I had my son loop the image, so now they’re bringing in a paranormal expert. … At first it was small annoyances — taking a sock or two, turning the heat down — but then I wanted a little more fun, like replacing the oat milk with full dairy. Their kid’s lactose intolerant. They’ve seen every specialist, and no one knows what’s wrong.”

Creator of the reboot, Joshua Safran, has been considering the return of the calculating villain, who appeared frequently in the original CW series.

“I definitely knew that I wanted Georgina back from pretty much the day after I pitched the show,” he told Deadline earlier this month. “Michelle actually started DMing about it during the season 1 writer’s room. She was like, ‘I want to come back.’ And I was like, ‘I really want you to as well, but I actually don’t think season 1 is the right place,’ because I wanted everybody to be really set up so that she could come in and sort of destroy them.”

The stars of the HBO adolescent drama expressed similar enthusiasm for the character’s return.

“She’s an icon,” Zión Moreno, who plays Luna La, told POPSUGAR of the Harriet the Spy star, 37, earlier this month. “I loved her in the OG series, and it was an honor to get to work with her. She’s a hoot for sure, and there’s never a dull moment around her. It was a little nerve-racking because you want to make her proud, but she was just really, really nice and wonderful.”

For her part, Trachtenberg revealed her return to the part on Instagram in October.
