All Episodes Talk: Lorelai and Rory and the People They Love

[chessiegal]

The series finale aired in 2007 - 17 years ago! Actors have moved on, even died (Edward Hermann). The revival A Year in the Life that aired in in 2016 is as close as we're going to get to more stories. Unless you count the Walmart commercial with Sean Gunn, Scott Patterson, and Lauren Graham that aired this year. 😅

IDK, that is not what the cast says.

A few years later, the creator of the show (Amy Sherman-Palladino) provided an update on more episodes of our favorite Gilmore duo in October 2020.

“There’s no [obstacle] behind it except for lives and people doing [other] things,” she explained during a Woodstock Film Festival virtual panel discussion. “[A Year in the Life] was one of those kismet moments where we were kind of all looking at each other and going, ‘Well, let’s take a couple of months and hang out together and remind each other why we drove each other crazy.’ And it was a wonderful experience. I really do believe that if the time is right and the girls are where they need to be in their lives [it could happen].”

 

The actors for Lorelai, Rory, Emily and Luke were all open to the idea of a reboot in this article. They just said the timing and story has to be right which is absolutely possible.

And yet, 4 years after that article was published, not a hint of a sequel. Where would it air? I can't see a broadcast network airing it. Perhaps Netflix, where the sequel A Year in the Life aired in 2016, and is still available. Are Alexis Bledel and Matt Czuchry still interested?  It would be odd to see them referred to but not appear. As far as Emily's journey and other stories, for those who haven't seen A Year in the Life, I'll put this under a spoiler tag:

Spoiler

Emily makes quite a journey of growth in the sequel, freeing herself to the point of abandoning and dismissing her DAR connections. I think the sequel already addresses Emily's journey.

What would a sequel tackle? Who's the baby Daddy of Rory's child? Luke and Lorelai being doting grandparents or even raising Rory's child, as Rory finds her way in the world?

 

I'd watch another sequel, but it seems to me that a galaxy of stars would have to align to make it happen.
