The new Gossip Girl reboot relies heavily on social media to carry the story along. Whether it is Julien's constant Instagram lives or Gossip Girl tagging the students of Constance St. Jude's School in the most recently uncovered scandal, social media is constantly at the center of the series. Which makes it interesting to take a look at the follower count of the cast in real life.
The cast has amassed a decent following on their social media accounts despite most of them being pretty new faces in Hollywood. However, cast members with more television roles under their belt seem to have more followers than others. Still, all of their followers are consistently growing.

Jonathan plays Nick Lott in the series. His being a dad on the show doesn't throw him into the world of social media that often.

He posts plenty of aesthetic travel pics and adorable anniversary posts about his wife.
He's been posting more frequently since the show's premiere and his posts have frequently been about the show itself. Fans can even see some behind-the-scenes pics of him with the rest of the cast if they follow his account.

Her Instagram feed is nothing like her character. It is bright and vibrant with pictures of herself, friends, and projects she is working on. It feels positive and vibrant and nothing like the Gossip Girl account her character is behind on the show.

Thomas Doherty (4.4M Followers)
Most people will recognize Thomas Doherty from either his role as Sebastian on Legacies or as Harry Hook in Disney's Descendants trilogy. His character Max on Gossip Girl shows him completely pulling away from his Disney role as a promiscuous student at Constance St. Jude's School.
