Okay, let us take a second to process the fact that it has been over 20 years since Gilmore Girls first graced our screens! The cosy town of Stars Hollow, the fast-talking, coffee-loving mother-daughter duo, and those unforgettable pop culture references¡ªyeah, we are still obsessed.
After the show wrapped up in 2007, fans got a second chance to reunite with Lorelai and Rory in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, the Netflix revival that dropped in 2016. And ever since those four episodes aired¡ªleaving us with that jaw-dropping cliffhanger¡ªthere has been one big question on everyone¡¯s mind: Are we ever getting another reboot?
Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, and the rest of the Gilmore Girls cast have never shut down the idea of returning. In fact, back in 2018, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino spilled some tea about how the first revival even came to be. Apparently, it all started with a casual catch-up at a festival, where the cast realised they still actually liked each other¡ªso they decided to do it!
Now, the big question is, could history repeat itself? Well, Amy believes it absolutely could. During a 2020 Woodstock Film Festival panel, she explained that there is no major reason stopping another reboot, other than the fact that everyone has their own projects and busy schedules. But she made it clear that if the stars align again, we might just see more Gilmore Girls in our future.
At this point, the reboot situation feels like an ex you are constantly in a ¡°will-they-won¡¯t-they¡± situation with. There is no confirmation yet, but there is also no hard no¡ªwhich in Hollywood, is kind of a big deal. The takeaway? If the timing is right, and the Gilmore gods bless us, we could be getting another round of fast-paced banter, endless cups of coffee, and possibly an answer to who Rory¡¯s baby daddy actually is.
