Gilmore Ladies star Lauren Graham has commented on the potential of a one-off Gilmore Ladies particular, practically 10 years after the discharge of Netflix’s controversial revival collection.
Regardless of Gilmore Ladies’ unique TV run ending practically 20 years in the past, the present’s cultural footprint has by no means wavered, culminating in 2016’s four-episode revival. Since then, Graham and Gilmore Ladies creator Amy Sherman-Palladino have introduced they’re writing a behind-the-scenes Gilmore Ladies tell-all collectively, and Graham has one other concept for a reunion, too.
Final yr, Graham floated the idea of Gilmore Ladies doing a one-off British-style holiday-themed particular episode, like Downton Abbey or All Creatures Nice and Small. This week, in an interview with Leisure Tonight, Graham stated that there is “all the time discuss” about doing that sort of reunion. “I do not need to gasoline any flames, however there’s all the time discuss,” the star stated when ET requested if she’d spoken to Sherman-Palladino about it.
Although that is not a affirmation, it is not a agency no, both, and it is an concept Graham is clearly captivated with. Throughout an interview with Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Present in August final yr, Graham defined her imaginative and prescient:
“To me, one thing that I really like they do in England greater than they do right here is like you’ve a season of a present that you just’ve liked, like Downton Abbey was one for me, after which they do like a Downton Abbey Christmas. So you’ve like, you get to go to your characters, and it’s vacation, and it’s, , it’s sentimental, but it surely’s not like a complete reboot of the entire thing. So that’s my concept that has been sanctioned by nobody.”
A number of months later, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Graham doubled down on the thought, stating that she’s “all the time open” to returning to her function as Lorelai. “I’ve all the time stated a Christmas film looks like a strategy to revisit the characters. That wouldn’t should be a full collection, and I feel it might make sense for dressing up the city and having a holiday-themed gathering. In order that’s what I’ve been saying, however I’m not in cost.”
Graham’s not the one one intrigued by the idea of a one-time Gilmore Ladies film. On the In Her Phrases podcast in November 2025, Gilmore matriarch Kelly Bishop stated that she “would all the time be fascinated about doing it,” too. “All of it actually in the end relies upon initially with Amy, and I feel that she’s open to it,” Bishop stated. “I feel there’s a chance right here as a result of this present is simply superb. It simply gained’t cease.”
Gilmore Ladies has all the time included themed episodes; the revival collection was even structured across the seasons, with one episode for Winter, Spring, Summer season, and Fall. Graham’s concept would additionally give viewers an opportunity to get closure for the Netflix revival’s main cliffhanger, wherein Lorelai’s daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel), advised her mom she was pregnant. It is unclear who the daddy is or how Rory’s personal “Gilmore Ladies” ebook will do, so her future has by no means been extra unsure.
As streamers forgo holiday-themed episodes so exhibits could be binged at any time of yr, Gilmore Ladies reviving this TV custom will surely be a trigger for celebration.
