Netflix at Work on GILMORE GIRLS Revival Series

Netflix is at work on reviving another much-loved television series.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is currently in deep negitiations to bring the hit ABC Family/CW series GILMORE GIRLS back as "four, 90-minute movies, as opposed to a 10-episode series."

Should the project come to fruition, stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, as well as creator Amy-Sherman Palladino, would return.

In an interview on the "Gilmore Guys" podcast earlier this summer, GILMORE GIRLS star Scott Patterson, who portrayed Luke on the beloved series, teased that a reunion may be in the works.

"I will say this, there are talks going on at the moment," he revealed. "I can't really go into any details, but there is some activity. I'm hopeful, and I'm in. I think it would be a big event, and I think it would be a great fan celebration."

The comedy-drama series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, starred Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel. The series debuted on the WB in October of 2000 and remained a tent-pole to the WB until it was canceled in its seventh season, ending on May 15, 2007 on the CW.

The show follows single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Graham) and her daughter, also named Lorelai but who prefers to be calledRory (Bledel), living in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The town is filled with colorful characters and is located approximately 30 minutes from Hartford, Connecticut.

The show's pilot states the proximity to Hartford. 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.
