New 'Gilmore Girls' Might Not Happen After All

As much as Gilmore Girls fans loved returning to Stars Hollow for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life last November, it seems another reunion might be slow to arrive—if it ever happens at all. At a Deadline panel Sunday morning, Lauren Graham revealed that she and her co-star Alexis Bledel have not yet been approached for a second continuation of the beloved mother-daughter dramedy.

“Now it has become a dialogue with the fans of the show; if it all existed in a vacuum, I would play that character until my dying day,” Graham said, adding later that the most important question has become, “‘What can we do that is satisfying, and worth continuing, and gratifying to the people who care so much about it?’

“I don’t know if there is a need to do more,” Graham continued. “I would never want it to feel like we overstayed our welcome. . . There’s probably a way to keep these characters alive but I don’t know if that’s the best thing for them.”

One reason the ball probably hasn’t started rolling yet? Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino have been busy working on a new show, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel—which turned out to be the gem of Amazon’s pilot slate and just earned a rare two-season pickup from the streaming service.
