‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life’ premiered on Netflix back in 2016 and no official news of a second season has been announced yet. But, is ‘Gilmore Girls’ coming back to the screen as a festive movie this time? Read on to know more!
There are only a few shows which can transcend generations and create a legacy of their own. ‘Gilmore Girls’, which started back in 2000, is nothing short of legendary itself.
Not only has an entire generation of mothers and daughters grown up watching the comedy-drama, but Netflix also provided ‘Gilmore Girls’ a completely new audience-base by introducing the show on the OTT platform.
Highlights
- ‘Gilmore Girls’: The movie edition
- ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life’ – mistake or not?
- Plot for the Christmas movie special
And, this might be the reason that ‘Gilmore Girls’ was revived by Netflix in 2016. The revival, ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life’, was received with mixed reviews but ardent fans of the show were not only thankful for the new content but also added to the outcry for a new season of ‘Gilmore Girls’.
So, is ‘Gilmore Girls’ coming back? And how?
‘Gilmore Girls’: The movie version
Yes, it’s true! The ‘Gilmore Girls’’ actor and resident of Star Hollow, Lorelai, played by Lauren Graham, recently mentioned some interesting details in an interview. If you played an iconic character like Lorelai, that shaped the opinions and sentiments of people around the world, chances are you might be asked about the character everywhere you go.
Lauren Graham informed the eager fans of ‘Gilmore Girls’ that the next step for the ‘Gilmore Girls’ saga could be a “Christmas special movie”. She further added that the only avenue the creators of ‘Gilmore Girls’ haven’t explored yet is the film avenue.
A “Christmas special movie” could be the next practical step for the maker of ‘Gilmore Girls’, Amy Sherman-Palladino. This is especially so since the revival for ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life’, that premiered on Netflix in 2016, hasn’t received any follow-up revival news since it caught itself on the wrong side of the tracks.
‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in Life’ – A mistake or not?
The last memory that the fans of ‘Gilmore Girls’ have is the memory of the revival Netflix gifted to us in 2016. Now, the idea of the show was offensive to some of the viewers while some found that the content of the reboot had nothing to have qualms about.
The offence was regarding the jokes around obesity in the show and the blatant lack of diversity with which the show rebooted. It is 2016, and the revival of ‘Gilmore Girls’ with insensitive content on a platform like Netflix, who are proud flag-bearers of all things and all people inclusive, is not a smart move.
And, if Netflix’s reputation is on stake, the network takes no risks and is lethal in its response. Which is why no official announcement for the sequel for ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life’ has taken place till now.

But, a festive Christmas movie might be what Netflix and Amy Sherman-Palladino need to set the record straight and get ‘Gilmore Girls’ in the lane of political correctness again.
Plot for the Christmas special movie
Apart from the very delightful fact that the next endeavour in the ‘Gilmore Girls’ universe can be a Christmas movie where all things are merry, one does wonder if the same can be said about the plot of the movie as well.
The season finale of ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life’ saw Rory (Alexis Bledel) announcing that she was expecting a baby. But, the ending did not specify who the father of the baby was.
And, the cliff-hanger didn’t end just there. The audience was also left wondering if Rory will publish an all-tell book about the relationship with her mother, Lorelai.
And the “Christmas special movie” might put a veil of cheer on the not-so-happy plotlines waiting to be explored on the show. So, here’s to hoping for a Christmas special movie filled with merry and cheer for the girls of Star Hollow.
