編劇 Joshua Safran 曾參與 2007 的《Gossip Girl》系列,並創作了現時的新版本《Gossip Girl》。雖然新版《Gossip Girl》劇中將會提到原版角色,但他們並不會以客串形式回歸。Joshua Safran 直截了當地表示,第一季可能會出現一些較小的角色的客串,但像 Blake Lively 和 Chace Crawford 等重要角色將不會以客串形式出現。

有如此的做法, Joshua Safran 表示在製作新版《Gossip Girl》第一季之前已有這樣的決定,目的是不希望新版演員班底會活在原版角色的陰影下,希望能以全新的形象示人,讓觀眾能夠接受並愛上他們。

不過,這也並非完全沒有希望。Joshua Safran 也指出若新版《Gossip Girl》收視理想,能開拍第二季的話,會十分希望邀請舊有班底演員,以有著故事情節的角色身份於新版《Gossip Girl》亮相。
