Lauren Graham reveals ‘magical’ moment from Gilmore Girls revival
But the four-part “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” is aimed at more than true believers, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino said in an interview.
And does it end with “A Year in the Life”?
They met again almost a quarter of a century later to take another photo, the one that would be blown up and placed prominently on the set of the Gilmore manse: “I thought, ‘My, my, things do come around, don’t they?'”
The “girls” are mom Lorelai Gilmore, played by Lauren Graham; her daughter, Rory, played by Alexis Bledel; and grandmother Emily Gilmore, played by Kelly Bishop. The show went off-air in 2007 after the seventh and final season, but the ending was a huge disappointment for fans. When asked whether “Where You Lead” would return for the new batch of episodes, Graham told Glamour that she believed it would (yay!), but that “music is still being discussed because on Netflix they don’t really have a traditional title sequence” (boo!). Back in April, McCarthy said returning to the Gilmore Girls set was an emotional experience.
Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life will stream on Netflix on November 25 and series 1-7 are available now.
Can you go home again? Having said that, there are some things in life that never change and our love for the Gilmore Girls is one of them!
She settles the books down and says: “Sorry I am late, I got distracted in the China Room, I could live in there!” The story is told through 90-minute chapters – each spanning one season: winter, spring, summer, fall. Still, it’s exciting that we’ll get to see Luke and Lorelai “figuring out their next steps in life together”, as he put it.
If fans felt for Emily before, as she nitpicked her rocky relationship with daughter Lorelai and spoke in constant snark, the new episodes certainly seem to hint that we’ll see a more vulnerable side to the character.
Leave it to Kirk – OK, actor Sean Gunn, who plays him – to provide a skewed ray of hope that, perhaps, there will be more “Gilmore Girls”.
“It became a format that is not creatively fun to write in anymore”, Sherman-Palladino explained. (Yes, east coast once again you will have to wait until 3 am to start your binge.) It’s the ideal end to a day of eating and family, two things the Gilmore Girls understand very well. Seeing them walk through Chilton today gives us a serious case of the feels.
For fans of the show there has always been an obsession with those words which have always been hinted at by the show’s creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.
