Bell will reprise her role as the all-knowing voice when the upcoming reboot of the series hits HBO Max on July 8, picking up where she left off onthe original CW showwhich ran from 2007-2012.

“OnGossip Girl,the new show is really cool because it talks all about how social media has changed us, and it’s more risqué because it’s on HBO Max, and there’s a twist at the end of episode one that’s really different,” she revealed. “So that’s fun. But that’s much more of like a character and then withFrozen,I guess it’s also a character, cause it’s a little more bubbly than I am.”
“I just like storytelling and I like being able to have the challenge of only using my voice,” the star said.
Joking with the late-night host, 46, Bell added that the casual dress code doesn’t hurt, either.
“And you know, from V.O.s you’ve done, you really can go in your pajamas, and it’s great,” she teased.
