Two shows with absolutely iconic intros have collided. We’re talking about How I Met Your Father and Gossip Girl, of course! A beloved Gossip Girl — the original, not the 2021 reboot — star has just landed a part in the new Hulu comedy series. But is she sticking around for good? We have everything you need to know about the casting news behind one of TV’s biggest new comedies.

Is Leighton Meester in How I Met Your Father?
Yes! Meester stars as Meredith, an ex-girlfriend of Chris Lowell’s Jesse. Blink and you’ll miss her cameo, though: she’s just in the #ProposalFail video see in in Episode 1. Jesse explains that Meredith was the only woman he ever loved, and she rejected him. Now, she’s in Europe recording her first solo album. Does that mean Meester is gone for good?
