A lot of us have become invested in franchises and series, whether it was during lockdown or even before, binge-watching and marathons have made us emotionally attached to fictional places and characters. But when that series or franchise comes to halt, we’re often left with questions unanswered, needs unmet or just a big hole that the show used to fill. While 2021 remains unpredictable, one thing is for sure: the reboots and sequels coming out this year are something to look forward to, with some of the biggest movie franchises continuing their stories, and some old favourites coming back from the dead.

Reboots And Spin-offs

1. Daria (Jodie)

The satirical 90s teen cartoon will return this year, but not with the titular character in the spotlight. Comedy Central will bring us a spin-off, produced by and featuring Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish, The High Note), that will revolve around Daria’s smart, sarcastic friend Jodie. The reboot will be aimed at a Gen Z audience and Jodie will return as a recent college graduate, navigating the workplace, privilege and Gen Z-specific struggles, all with a narrative of wit, sarcasm and smarts.

2. Gossip Girl

We’ve all been hearing news of a Gossip Girl reboot since last year and it’s now been confirmed that the reimagined series is due to release this year. Portraits of the new cast and characters were released on the Gossip Girl Instagram page on New Year’s Day, sparking excitement for the teen drama. The new series will still be narrated by Kristen Bell and with the original creators producing the series, we just know it’ll be a hit.

3. Clueless

Much like the Daria reboot, the new, yet-to-be-titled Clueless will be a spin-off, focusing on a black supporting character. The reboot was first reported on by Variety in August, describing the new series as ‘a baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sun-glasses wearing, oat milk latte and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when queen bee Cher disappears and her lifelong number two Dionne steps into Cher’s vacant Air Jordans.’, depicting the show as just as fashionable as the original, with some mystery thrown in. While release dates and details are still foggy, we know the series will air on NBCUniversal’s new streaming service Peacock.

4. iCarly – A reboot of the much loved Nickelodeon show was confirmed in December, and is set to include most of the original cast. The producer, Jay Kogen, shared that the new series will be for adults, which makes sense regarding fans of the show are all grown up now. It’s headed for the streaming platform Paramount Plus, and even with no confirmed details of it’s release or plot, we’re all excited for the classic to return.

5. James Bond (No Time To Die)

The anticipation over the new Bond film grew exponentially after each of it’s delays and is now confirmed to be released at the beginning of April this year. It was originally due to premiere in November of 2019 but with production delays, it was pushed back, then with the titular song, sung by Billie Eilish, released at the beginning of 2020, we were all excited for the film. Due to the pandemic, No Time To Die experienced several more push backs, each one sparking more excitement than the last. Hopefully, this one will stick, there’s only so many times we can have a Bond marathon in preparation.

6. A Quiet Place Part II

Another film delayed by the pandemic, the sequel to John Krasinski’s (The Office, Jack Ryan) thriller is now set to come out in April. Part II finds the Abbott Family among more than just the threat of the creatures that hunted them before. The same stars and characters will return, this time with the addition of Cillian Murphy as a main character too.

7. Spider Man 3

Tom Holland will return as Spider-man this year, in the third film of the new series in the Spider-man MCU franchise. The film will include some old supervillains from previous Spider-man eras including Jamie Foxx as Electro, and there are rumours of both previous actors, Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield, appearing. We’re excited for its release which, while not confirmed, is supposed to be near the end of the year.

8. The Matrix 4

The 4th instalment of the Matrix franchise will arrive in December of this year. Most of the leads remain the same, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are examples;  returning as Neo and Trinity. New reported cast members include Neil Patrick Harris (How I met Your Mother), Stephen Graham (This Is England) and Yayha Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman).

Everything you need to know about the current gossip page everyone’s obsessing over

You’ve probably heard about Kim Kardashian rumoured divorce from Kanye West, about
Zoe Kravitz possible new romance with Channing Tatum or even about Luka Sabbat’s latest
movie project with Duke Nicholson.

Want to know what all of these have in common? Well, they’ve all surfaced thanks to Deuxmoi, the hottest gossip Instagram of the moment. Since its inception, last March Deuxmoi has become one of the main sources of celebrity gossip and entertainment with over 570K followers. The Instagram account described as the “curators of pop culture” receives user-submitted scoops on your favourite A-list personalities, from simple sightings to random details of their private lives. Whether these result to be true or not is still unknown, and to be frank, of little interest to its followers.

Most of the trending information shared is often unconfirmed or based on assumptions of anonymous individuals. Sometimes it even becomes a guessing game, putting a name to the
faces mentioned in the stories, since in some cases the details shared are too compromising or
just explicit to actually reveal the identity of the celebrity in question.

So it is curious to see that even if we’re all aware of this it does not stop us, its followers,
from checking out the plenty of stories uploaded and taking part in the game. Oh, and the
most alluring part of it all? Its exclusivity of course. Deuxmoi is a private Instagram account
which means that to be part of the community you have to be accepted in and there’s no other
way around it or anyone else to resort to in the case that you’re not.

As explained by the mysterious owner herself in a recent interview with Bustle, many
celebrities actually form part of this community as well but they just decide to do it
undercover, using their finstas instead of their main accounts. “ They don’t want people to see that they’re following the account, I guess. It’s like a dirty little secret.”

But surprisingly this isn’t everyone’s case, Hailey Bieber herself has admitted of being a
reader of Deuxmoi. Through her Instagram stories last month she let everyone know that she
believes she’s discovered the identity of the anonymous woman running the account, but of
course, without letting us know who her suspect is. And we’ll probably never know, or at
least we hope not to… What fun would there be afterwards? Afterall the account isn’t about
the person who runs it but about the mystery surrounding it.

If you’re looking for a diversion from your daily life, an entertaining way to distract yourself from this overwhelming lockdown, following Deuxmoi might be a good idea (if you aren’t
already). Keeping up with our own version ‘Gossip Girl’ can be an efficient way of escapism.
But don’t forget that at the end of the way that’s all it is, gossip on the rich and famous as a
way to divert from the mundane.
