Are There Any Future Installments of Gilmore Girls Being Planned?

Fans are eagerly starting their annual Gilmore Girls rewatch, leaving many honorary residents of Stars Hollow wondering if they will ever be blessed with new episodes of the beloved series. As autumn approaches, the signs become evident - the air grows cooler, leaves gracefully descend from their branches, and the iconic Gilmore Girls theme song resonates in your ears.

Just as pumpkin spice lattes are associated with the fall, an annual rewatch of the beloved TV show is also a tradition. The show revolves around the lives of three generations of Gilmore women in the fictional town of Stars Hollow.

Originally airing for seven seasons from 2000 to 2007, the series made a comeback in 2016 with a four part revival special called "A Year in the Life" on Netflix. Given the enduring popularity of the show, fans are left wondering if there will be more of Gilmore Girls in the future.

Will there be a Gilmore Girls Year in the Life Season 2?

Sadly, it doesn’t seem like there will be any more Gilmore Girls seasons or episodes.

A Year in the Life was intended to be a mini-series, and the ending of the series felt conclusive, especially with Rory's final line, "Mom, I'm pregnant." Showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino had consistently expressed her intention for this ending, including the final four words, in various interviews over the years.

Regarding the possibility of cast and crew members returning, both Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel mentioned in 2017 that there were no immediate plans for another season. Graham elaborated to TV Line, stating, "I'm not sure if there is a necessity to continue. I wouldn't want it to feel like we overstayed our welcome."

Sherman-Palladino reiterated her sentiments in 2018, expressing to Vanity Fair that for a revival to occur, it must be the perfect narrative and timing, as the initial creation demanded a significant amount of effort.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about the possibility of future installments of Gilmore Girls. On one hand, I would love to see more of the beloved characters and their lives in Stars Hollow. The show ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, with Rory's pregnancy, and I would be curious to see how that storyline plays out.

On the other hand, I also understand that the show had a good run and that it might be time to let it rest. The revival season, A Year in the Life, was met with mixed reviews, and I think it's important to remember that not all shows need to be revived.

Ultimately, I would be happy with either outcome. If there are more Gilmore Girls episodes or seasons in the future, I will definitely watch them. But if not, I'm also content with the show as it is.
