Gilmore Girls is coming to Netflix as a limited series

Netflix has saved the day by reviving yet another beloved television show: Gilmore Girls.

Netflix has closed a deal with Warner Bros., sources tell TVLine, and series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino will write four 90-minute mini-movies. Gilmore Girls ran from 2000 to 2007, and stars Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, and Scott Patterson are all expected to return — and if Michael Ausiello's spoilers are correct, so are some of Rory's former flames. Sources also told Ausiello that the revival was pitched to Netflix as taking place in the present day.

Gilmore Girls didn't end the way it was originally planned, as Sherman-Palladino left the series before it was over due to a contract dispute with Warner Bros. Fans can take solace in knowing that with Sherman-Palladino at the helm, the revival will feel like classic Gilmore Girls. "The beauty of Gilmore and the beauty of family-relationship shows, is you never really run out of story," Sherman-Palladino said during a 2009 Entertainment Weekly interview. "You're going to battle your family until you're all in the ground. Those things never resolve, doesn't matter how much therapy you get. Ten years later, there's still going to be [material] there to mine and to delve into."
