'Gilmore Girls' Netflix revival release date: New promo urges fans to rewatch, catch up with original run

Netflix's revival of the comedy-drama television series "Gilmore Girls" is fast approaching, with its premiere coming in the fall of this year, although a more specific date is not officially available as yet. The streaming giant announced in January that it would be bringing the show back, this time entitled, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." The reboot will feature four 90-minute episodes with each one representing a new season: winter, spring, summer and fall, thus the apt title.

Lauren Graham, who played Lorelai Gilmore in the original run of the series and will return in the upcoming revival, shared her excitement over the reboot a while back on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

"It's been the most incredible experience — I cry trying to talk about it. To get to do it again, who would have imagined? Netflix had to be invented, you guys had to want it back," the 49-year-old actress shared.

The show's original run had been from 2000 to 2007, and its revival will bring together once more many of the original cast members besides Graham, including Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore), Melissa McCarthy (Sookie St. James), Scott Patterson (Luke Danes), Matt Czuchry (Logan Huntzberger), Milo Ventimiglia (Jess Mariano), and Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester).

Graham appeared in a new promo teasing the upcoming Netflix revival. In the video, she stood in front of the familiar gazebo from the Gilmore's Star Hollow. The "Parenthood" alum flashed some cards bearing country names such as Japan, Italy, Argentina, France, among others, in which the original series will be available through Netflix starting July 1.

"Any place you watch Netflix, you can watch Gilmore Girls starting July 1. You may have heard that new episodes of Gilmore Girls are coming to Netflix later this year. We can't wait," she says in the clip.

She urged those who have watched the series as well as those who may not have caught its original run to rewatch or catch up, as the case may be, on the full series of seven seasons before the new four-episode season comes out later this year.

With Netflix picking up rights to the show as well as most of its cast returning for the new series, showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino will finally have her chance, nine years after the original ended, to bring the story to its conclusion on her own terms.
