Hey Upper East Siders. You didn’t think only rich white heteros could have all the fun of making bad decisions with no remorse, did you? The students of Constance Billard are back with a new Gen Z inclusive cast of queer and BIPOC characters. Move over S and B, these are the 2021 trust fund teens indulging the same fantasy of privileged horny teens acting like adults. Only this time they reflect on their privilege before and after abusing it. Gossip Girl (still Kristen Bell) now identifies as a revolutionary. Now we get to watch rich people be complete pieces of shit with full awareness.
Can’t wait to see these teens grapple with the awkwardness of being filthy fucking rich while simultaneously trying to be woke. Will Aki (Evan Mock) cheat on his girlfriend then go to a unionization drive? Will Julien (Jordan Alexander) ruin the reputation and mental health of an underclassmen before heading to a protest for climate change? Maybe Kristen Bell will read an expert from her Purple People children’s book. Xoxo.
