WASHINGTON — “Gilmore Girls” is said to be headed back to television.
The series which ran from 2000 to 2006 on The WB and The CW is returning as a sequence of four 90-minute films on Netflix, according to various media reports.
TVLine was the first to report that “Gilmore Girls” would join “Arrested Development,” “Full House” and “Wet Hot American Summer” as revivals of beloved TV series and movies on the Internet streaming service. Neither Warner Bros. nor Netflix has confirmed the reports.
Word has it that the new “season” of four movies will be written by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who wasn’t part of the original series’ final season. All the major cast members, including Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson, are said to be signed up. No word on whether Melissa McCarthy will be able to reprise her role.
DUDES. I can’t confirm this. But I also can’t deny this … https://t.co/KO8gA7j6Us

TVLine’s Michael Ausiello writes that Sherman-Palladino never closed the door on a revival: In 2009, she told him, “The beauty of Gilmore, and the beauty of family-relationship shows, is you never really run out of story.” She also reportedly had even written a final episode, teasing about the four words with which she planned to end the story.
