‘Gossip Girl’ Reboot: Here’s Every Reference Made to the Original – So Far
Nate Archibald
The first episode of HBO Max's "Gossip Girl" made sure to tie the two series together with some pretty heavy name-dropping. Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) is referenced within the first 10 minutes. "This school produced great people! Caroline Kennedy, Coulson Whitehead, Nate Archibald! It's why I wanted to teach here," Kate (Tavi Gevinson) exclaims as she and her coworkers lament their status at the school.
