The WB/Scott Humbert Get out your coffee and Pop Tarts—scratch that, a week's worth of coffee and Pop Tarts—the ultimate Gilmore Girls marathon is upon us.
Up will air GilMORE the Merrier Binge-A-Thon, a 24-hour a day, 153-hour marathon of all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls from November 18-25, ending just in time for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life's Netflix premiere. Oy, with the binging.
Sean Gunn, Kirk to Gilmore Girls fans, will host the marathon. And this isn't your normal marathon. Every episode will feature trivia pop-ups and commentary by the Gilmore Guys, the popular podcast hosts, and there will be a chance to win prizes throughout the week.
"As huge Gilmore Girls fans ourselves, we are thrilled to bring our audience the ultimate binge event," Amy Winter, executive vice president and general manager of Up, said in a statement. "To have Sean host the viewing house as his quirky and beloved character, Kirk Gleason, ensures that we will bring fans all the fun tips, trivia and Gilmore lore with deadpan delivery. We're thrilled to have Stars Hollow's ‘man of a thousand jobs,' add this one to his list."
Gilmore Girls is returning to life after nearly 10 years off the air. The original series ran from 2000-2007 on The WB/CW. A Year in the Life will find Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) roughly 10 years older since viewers last saw them in Stars Hollow. Nearly every major Gilmore Girls player is returning in some capacity, including but not limited to Matt Czuchry, Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena, Yanic Truesdale, Scott Patterson, Liza Weil, Jared Padalecki, Milo Ventimiglia and Kelly Bishop.
Netflix's Gilmore Girls revival will be four 90-minute episodes, each one taking place during a different season. Take a peek at the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life trailer for the 300th time here.
