Hit American TV teen drama Gossip Girl is totally getting an Indonesian remake, you guys, and you can feature in it!

Gojek’s video-on-demand platform Go-Play, which was just launched last week, announced that it would produce the Gossip Girl remake as one of its three exclusive original series. The remake will be helmed by Nia Dinata, who famously directed Arisan! (2003) and the remake of Ini Kisah Tiga Dara (2016).

If you’re a fan of Gossip Girl, especially Blair Waldorf, the queen bee of the Upper East Side, Go-Play yesterday announced that it is holding an open audition for the roles of her minions in the Indonesian remake.

To be eligible, you must be a woman between the ages of 17 to 26 with an Indonesian citizenship. You then have to post a video on your public social media account, mentioning your name, age, why you like the character Blair and describe the kind of squad member you’d like to be.

Full instructions for the social media casting can be found here. If you get selected for the next phase of the audition, Go-Play will contact you on October 11 at the latest.

The Indonesian remake of Gossip Girl will reportedly be available on Go-Play in early 2020.
