Thomas Doherty & Evan Mock on Gossip Girl (2022)

The HBO Max original Gossip Girl has returned for its second season. Episode 1 picked up with the characters after their holiday break, as they returned to the halls of their New York high school and the torment of Gossip Girl. Audrey, Aki & Max enjoyed the sexual rewards of their three-way relationship, but making things official in public proved to be bigger challenge for the rest of the episode. Max (played by Thomas Doherty) and Aki (played by Evan Mock) both showed rear nudity early in the episode as they were interrupted, leading Aki & Audrey to hide Max away, to his dismay. This led to him pushing them to acknowledge their throuple publicly, which ultimately backfires, leading them to continue their arrangement in secret. Thomas & Evan also shared a couple of kisses in the premiere.
