GILMORE GIRLS: A YEAR IN THE LIFE to Run on The CW This Fall

GILMORE GIRLS’ four-part Netflix special is making its network television debut this fall.

GILMORE GIRLS: A YEAR IN THE LIFE will run Monday, November 23 through Thursday, November 26 (from 8-10 PM) on The CW. It will also stream on cwtv.com and The CW app for 30 days following the premiere.

In the mini-series, “Lorelai still runs the Dragonfly Inn (and chugs coffee like its water) and Rory, now 32, has experienced some success in her journalism career. As Rory works through job-related struggles and Lorelai deals with some unresolved issues of her own, Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop, “The Good Wife”) has been handling the loss of her dear husband, Richard. Emily is at a major crossroads in her life, recently widowed and trying to figure out what to do next. Richard’s death forces Emily and Lorelai to finally reexamine their own fraught relationship, and what the future holds for this mother and daughter.

We see the return of many of Rory’s circle, including her best friend Lane Kim (Keiko Agena, “Prodigal Son”), who still plays in a band with her husband Zack (Todd Lowe, “True Blood”) and is the mother of twin boys.  High school frenemy-turned-college roommate-turned-close friend (and still occasional nemesis) Paris Geller (Liza  Weil, “How To Get Away With Murder,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) also returns, and Rory’s most memorable ex-boyfriends – Logan (Matt Czuchry, “The Resident), Jess (Milo Ventimiglia, “This Is Us”), and Dean (Jared Padalecki, “Supernatural”) – surface throughout the chapters.

The Dragonfly Inn’s resident head chef and co-owner, Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy, “Spy,” “The Heat”), is also back along with the snooty-but-oh-so-lovable concierge Michel (Yanic Truesdale, “Bad Karma”).

Stars Hollow’s cast of characters is back in full swing with Kirk Gleason (Sean Gunn, “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2”) and another business idea, and Taylor (Michael Winters, “Days of our Lives”), who stages a classic Star Hollow musical.  Of course, the citizens are once again abuzz at the latest town meeting. As for Lorelai’s love life, Luke remains in her heart and in her life.”

The series was directed/penned by Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, and includes the infamous final four words that the original series was intended to end with. The miniseries original ran on Netflix in 2016.
