‘Gilmore Girls’ Revival A Go: Alexis Bledel, Lauren Graham, 4 Others Return
The Gilmore Girls follow-up movies are officially cleared for production after securing six cast members from the original series, led by stars Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham. After lengthy negotiations, Graham and Bledel have closed deals to reprise their roles as the mother-daughter duo of Lorelai and Rory. The Gilmore Girls lead quartet is returning intact, with Scott Patterson and Kelly Bishop signed to reprise their roles as Like and Emily alongside Bledel and Graham. Also, returning are Gilmore Girls co-star Sean Gunn (Kirk) and Keiko Agena (Lane).
The Gilmore Girls revival, which Netflix is treating as a farewell season of the cult show, consists of four 90-minute movies.
The beloved series was a critical and commercial hit for the WB, being able to hold its own airing against then-biggest show on television, NBC’s Friends.
The revival, whose exact title is still TBD, is produced by Dorothy Parker Drank Here Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
