The best thing to ever happen in the history of the human race is in progress. Everybody sit down for this one… Gilmore Girls is making a comeback, my friends. The pure, unadulterated excitement currently circling the globe concerning this beautiful revelation is insurmountable. We should all be constructing our own personal shrine of Netflix for the distinguished intelligence and general nature of fabulousness in producing something we have all waited so long for.
If you have never witnessed the beauty that is Gilmore Girls, you should strongly question your priorities and the entirety of your life choices. This seven season series contains everything anyone could ever want out of a grade-A television show.
It has wit; Lorelai will have you rolling on the floor as well as contemplating how she so effortlessly spouts her amazingly sharp quips.
It has fantastically diverse, odd characters; shout out to Kirk, who produced hundreds of bottles of poisonous hay shampoo modeled after the illustrious hide of cows. It has a grace of innocence; everyone stays fully clothed at all times, but trust me, you will still want to watch. Hundreds of life lessons can be learned while enjoying its marvelousness; there’s dating advice, business advice, parent-handling advice, coffee drinking advice, college advice, fashion advice, and so much more.
And let’s not forget a very important element to the success of any television media: attractive men. #TeamJessForever
Well now that you been debriefed or reminded of the amazingness that is Gilmore Girls, let’s talk about its revival, shall we. Unfortunately, the series is not coming back full force, but it is being presented to the world on a silver platter of four, ninety-minute episodes; one mini-movie featuring each season of the year. It will be set in the present day, hopefully to answer all of our burning questions. Did Lorelai and Luke get married? Did Rory become a successful journalist? Has Taylor taken over the entire town of Stars Hallow?
However, there is still speculation as to who exactly will be joining the comeback; although, it can be expected with great credibility that the tried and true main players Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, and Scott Patterson will be part of the production. Praise Jesus. It is also rumored that Dean, Jess, and Logan will all make some kind of appearance.
Let’s be honest, it’s most important that we know Jess and his exquisite, all-grown-up, bad boy demeanor will be given as a gorgeous present to this new generation of viewers; plus Milo Ventimiglia has already made a statement about getting involved. I personally do not know how the show could possibly go on without the audience being graced by the presence of the mighty Paris Geller, but she recently told E News that she has yet to be approached by the production.
But what about Lane, Babette, Michelle, and the town troubadour?!? Oh, and Sookie, can we expect the uber famous Melissa McCarthy to make an appearance? I hate to break this to everyone, but I bet not; she’s got a full schedule living the movie star life and didn’t even make it to the Gilmore Reunion at the ATX festival this past June, but fingers crossed.
The show’s original writer, Amy Sherman-Palladino beautifully constructed a masterpiece; however, I was surprised to learn that she did not write the last season of Gilmore Girls. Well she is back and this is her redemption hour, to end the series how she, the creator, envisioned. You go, Amy! Consider this my love letter to you as we all can barely contain our jubilation.
Unfortunately, production is not expected to even start until sometime next year. This may be sad for all of our impatience, but we can hold on to the hope that it is coming and wait in baited breath for the return of the best television has ever and will ever offer.
