'Gilmore Girls' Netflix revival air date, teaser and updates: 7 major moments from the 'Gilmore Girls' revival trailer
The "Gilmore Girls" revival trailer has dropped and it is giving fans all the feels.
On Tuesday, Oct. 25, the first official trailer for the four-part special event debuted, bringing viewers right back to the charming town of Stars Hollow.
The new promo revealed a generous helping of juicy new details about the highly anticipated Netflix reboot, including some clues about Lorelai's (Lauren Graham) and Rory's (Alexis Bledel) love lives, the return of several favorite characters, and a glimpse at a Stars Hollow newbie.
Here are seven big takeaways from the first "Gilmore Girls" revival trailer:
1. Everyone is back.
Rory's ex-boyfriends Dean (Jared Padalecki), Jess (Milo Ventimiglia), and Logan (Matt Czuchry) are all in the trailer, leaving fans to speculate on who Rory ends up with by the miniseries' conclusion. Most of the fans' favorite Stars Hollow residents appeared in the trailer as well, including Lane (Keiko Agena), Patty (Liz Torres), Babette (Sally Struthers), Mrs. Kim (Emily Kuroda), Kirk (Sean Gunn), Taylor (Michael Winters) and Michael (Yanic Truesdale). Melissa McCarthy reprises her beloved character Sookie as does Liza Weil for Rory's good friend Paris.
2. Tears will be shed.
As seen in the trailer, the revival pays tribute to the late actor Edward Herrmann, who played the role of Richard, Lorelai's father, throughout the show's seven-season run. There's a peek at Richard's funeral, with Lorelai and Rory looking on as Emily (Kelly Bishop) stood in front of his casket. In another scene, Emily revealed a huge portrait of her late husband.
3. Emily is adrift.
"I don't know how to do this," she said in the trailer. "I was married for 50 years. Half of me is gone." As proof that Lorelai's mother is really at a loss, Emily 'KonMaris' her entire house, throwing away clothes as well as furniture that don't give her joy. She even appeared in jeans and a T-shirt, clothes that the old Emily would never have worn.
4. Carole King is back in Stars Hollow.
The singer behind the heart-warming "Gilmore Girls" theme song "Where You Lead" appeared in a town hall scene and was barely visible behind Babette and Gypsy (Rose Abdoo).
5. A new character emerges.
It has already been confirmed that "Bunheads" alum Sutton Foster has a role in "A Year in the Life." Indeed, the actress appeared in the trailer as a performer in a town musical.
6. Lorelai and Luke are breaking up?
While the fate of Lorelai and Luke's (Scott Patterson) romance was left up in the air in the season 7 finale, the trailer seemed to show the two as a couple. But is Lorelai rethinking her relationship with Luke? "We're happy. Luke and I are... happy," she said quite unemotionally.
7. Rory is a vagabond.
Emily said that her granddaughter is living a "vagabond existence" and Rory confirmed that she "has no job, no credit, and no underwear." She also said that she's "feeling very lost" and, true enough, scenes of Rory in London and in New York indicated that the young woman is trying to figure out where she fits in.
"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" drops Friday, Nov. 25, on Netlfix.
