"Gilmore" Creators Letting Their "Girls" Go
Stars Hollow is going to be without a couple of its guiding lights next year.
Gilmore Girls cocreators and executive producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino announced Thursday that they will be leaving the WB series when its sixth season concludes in May.
Warner Bros. Television lost no time announcing that writer-producer David Rosenthal has been tapped to run the show's seventh season. So, if all goes according to plan and speculation, Rosenthal will be steering the Gilmores' ship from its established perch at the WB into the less certain waters at the CW network, which will combine the WB and UPN's choicest programming, along with whatever new shows roll its way.
"Despite our best efforts to return and ensure the future of Gilmore Girls for years to come, we were unable to reach an agreement with the studio and are therefore leaving when our contracts expire at the end of the season," the Palladinos said in a statement.
Although a WB source told E! Online TV columnist Kristin Veitch in December that the husband and wife team were looking to continue the mother-daughter dramedy for at least one more season, the couple told colleagues at their show's season wrap-up party earlier this month that they were planning their goodbyes, according to Variety.
The CW offered the Gilmore showrunners a nearly $5 million contract for a two-year commitment, but the Palladinos, who preferred sticking around for one more season max, demurred, Variety reported.
"We want to thank Amy for creating and nurturing this wonderful series for the past six years and giving us one of the most memorable mother-daughter relationships in television history," Warner Bros. TV said in a statement.
"While we are disappointed that [Amy and Dan] have decided not to stay with the show next season, we are very confident that Dave Rosenthal, an experienced writer-producer with the show, will make the transition seamless moving into the seventh year of Gilmore Girls."
Meanwhile, the show's cast, including lead Girls Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham, is under contract for one more year.
Rory and Lorelai should be proud of themselves--their charming antics attracted 4.1 million viewers Tuesday, a respectable showing considering they're up against a little Fox singing competition called American Idol. That's millions of tween-agers not watching Idol. See, Rory didn't go to Yale for nothing!
Gilmore Girls celebrated its 100th episode in February. The show is set to end its season May 9, with an all-star collection of alt-rockers, including Sonic Youth, which will perform its single "What a Waste" (perhaps directed at Luke and Lorelai's crazy chemistry), Yo La Tengo, Sparks and Joe Pernice. Mary Lynn Rajskub of 24 will also stop by for the Stars Hollow sing-along.
