Netflix plans to revive Gilmore Girls, the uber popular mother-daughter TV series that aired from 2000 to 2007.
The limited Gilmore Girls revival will consist of four 90-minute mini-movies, penned by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladinao and her husband, exec producer Daniel Palladino. Netflix already offers the much-loved original series in its lineup.
The deal allows Sherman-Palladino — who left the original series prior to the final season amid a contract dispute with Warner Bros. — to conclude Gilmore Girls as she always intended, right through to those elusive final four words.
Of course, the Gilmore Girls comeback marks another win for the streaming-video giant. Netflix is also producing Fuller House, a spinoff of the ’90s sitcom Full House.
Set in the small, fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, the original series starred Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as fast-talking, pop-culture loving mother-daughter duo Lorelei and Rory Gilmore. It ran for seven seasons, starting out on the now-defunct WB network in 2000, before transferring to spinoff net The CW in 2006 for its final season.
