Comedy Drama GILMORE GIRLS Heading to Netflix This October!

Good news for fans of The WB's long-running comedy drama GILMORE GIRLS. According to Decider.com, all seven season of the series will be available on Netflix's streaming service beginning October 1st.

Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino and starring Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, GILMORE GIRLS premiered on October 5, 2000 on the WB to widespread critical acclaim and remained a tent-pole to the WB until it was canceled in its seventh season which concluded in 2007.

The show followed single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Graham) and her daughter, also named Lorelai but who prefers to be called Rory (Bledel), living in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. This is a town filled with colorful characters, which is located approximately 30 minutes from Hartford, Connecticut. Ambition, education, and work constitute part of the series' central concerns, telling Lorelai's story from pregnant teen runaway and high school dropout to co-owner and manager of the Dragonfly Inn. Rory's transition from public school to the prestigious Chilton is similarly followed, exploring her ambition to study at an Ivy League college and to become a foreign correspondent. The show's social commentary manifests most clearly in Lorelai's difficult relationship with her wealthy, appearance-obsessed parents, Emily and Richard Gilmore, and in the interactions between the students at Chilton, and later, Yale University.

Gilmore Girls is known for its fast-paced dialogue filled with pop-culture references. The show earned several award nominations, winning one Emmy Award. It was also critically acclaimed as it placed No. 32 on Entertainment Weekly's "New TV Classics" list, and was listed as one of Time magazine's "All-TIME 100 TV Shows" in 2007.
