In the original series, Bell provided the voice for the titular Gossip Girl, narrating the lives of the Upper East Side elite through her notorious blog posts.
тАЬI like the challenge of having to evoke emotion from the audience by using only one tool. The tone, the pitch, cadence of my voice. ItтАЩs really fun,тАЭ Bell says of playing the role.

She also teases the revival, saying, тАЬтАШGossip GirlтАЩ,┬аthe new show is really cool because it talks all about how social media has changed us, and itтАЩs more risqu├й because itтАЩs on HBO Max, and thereтАЩs a twist at the end of episode one thatтАЩs really different.тАЭ
Bell is, of course, no stranger to voice-over work in general, having also starred in the animated тАЬFrozenтАЭ series.
The new тАЬGossip GirlтАЭ premieres July 8.
