News has spread about the Revival of Gilmore Girls — and I for one couldn’t be more excited about a show returning. Here are some of the details from TVGuide:
Will we hear those final four words? Since Sherman-Palladino’s involved, we’re going with yes. After a contract dispute saw her and and her husband leave before the seventh and final season, ASP can now finally end the show the way she has always envisioned.
Who’s on board? Contracts are still being negotiated with the show’s major players, but consider it a given that stars Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson will be on board. (Edward Herrmann, sadly, died on New Year’s Eve.) And,TVLine reports, all of Rory’s main beaus – Logan (Matt Czuchry), Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) and Dean (Jared Padalecki) – will be returning in some capacity. It remains to be seen whether #Melissa McCarthy – whose fame has reached new heights, to say the least, since the show went off the air – will reprise her role as Sookie St. James.
When will the reboot pick up? According to TVLine, which originally reported news of the reboot, the continuation will pick up in real time, so there will likely be an eight- or nine-year time jump, since the series went off the air in 2007.
How many episodes will there be? #Netflix is eyeing four 90-minute episodes, described as “mini-movies,” for the limited run. The installments will be written by creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Dan Palladino.

Curated from Gilmore Girls Revival: Here’s Everything We Know (So Far) – Today’s News: Our Take | TVGuide.com
I have things I want to see, as I’m sure most fans do.
I can’t imagine Gilmore Girls without Sookie, but I imagine it’s inevitable. Melissa McCarthy is pretty busy these days (and probably pretty expensive). I know they’ll explain it, but Sookie was a big part of the show for me. It won’t feel the same without her.
I want to see Luke and Lorelai married. I don’t need the wedding. Considering we’re picking up eight years AFTER the show ended, that would be a pretty long time to go without a wedding. But I want to see what their life has been like.
I want to see who Rory ends up with! I have to admit, I have a Team preference…
That isn’t too obvious, is it? I hated how they ended their relationship, but I want to see what has happened in the 8 years since they said their goodbyes. Did Logan go to California? Did Rory just follow the campaign trial? Where is she now? What is he doing? And what about Jess and Dean?
What jobs has Kirk acquired in 8 years? Is Taylor still running the town of crazies?
Inquiring minds want to know! This one can’t wait for the reboot.
