The WBWho's ready to go back to Stars Hollow?
Excuse us while we hyperventilate, but a limited-series revival of Gilmore Girls is apparently in the works at Netflix, to be written by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino.
Negotiations with the cast are just beginning, but it's expected that the big names—Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, and Scott Patterson—will return to their iconic roles. The revival will reportedly consist of four 90-minute episodes. Both Netflix and Warner Bros. declined to comment.
TVLine.com first reported the news, and indicated that the revival will pick up in present day after a significant time jump. There is also a plan in place to revisit all of Rory's boyfriends, hopefully to force Rory to finally choose one and forever quiet all arguments on the subject.
No one involved with the show has officially commented yet, but Lauren Graham did take to Twitter to neither confirm nor deny the news, and also to call us all dudes:
DUDES. I can't confirm this. But I also can't deny this... https://t.co/KO8gA7j6Us
— Lauren Graham (@thelaurengraham) October 19, 2015When E! News last caught up with Sherman-Palladino and the cast at the ATX TV Festival this summer, she denied that any follow-up to the series was in the works, but admitted "Nobody here hates each other. That's very important...if it ever happened, I promise you we'd do it correctly."
"It would have to be the right everything — the right format, the right timing, the right way," she added. "It would have to be honored in a certain way and I think that if you look around, we would all jump in and do it."
When asked if she could ever envision a reunion, Graham said, "I have no idea, that would be up to Amy and other people. I think because Amy didn't get to finish the show there is an unusual willingness to see what that would look like, so we'll see!"
It looks like, thanks to Netflix, we'll finally get to hear those final four words Sherman-Palladino had planned for the original series finale!
