Rachel Sennott’s new HBO comedy pilot attracts star power as Leighton Meester and Quenlin Blackwell join the cast in guest roles.

Rachel Sennott’s upcoming HBO comedy pilot is generating buzz with its latest casting news. The untitled half-hour show, centered around a group of friends reuniting and dealing with life changes, has added Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and social media sensation Quenlin Blackwell to its roster.

Meester and Blackwell will appear in guest-starring roles, though specifics about their characters are currently under wraps. The pilot, written and executive produced by Sennott, who also stars, features an impressive ensemble including Odessa A’zion, Jordan Firstman, Miles Robbins, and True Whitaker.

Directed by Lorene Scafaria, the show explores themes of codependency, ambition, and evolving relationships. With Meester’s television experience and Blackwell’s TikTok following of 9.8 million, this project promises to be a compelling addition to HBO’s comedy lineup.
