'Gilmore Girls' revival news, spoilers: Rory goes through a crisis; Milo Ventimiglia talks favorite thing about Jess

Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) has always been the hardworking, go-getter type, so it may come as a surprise to "Gilmore Girls" fans that the character will reportedly be going through what sounds like a midlife crisis in the upcoming "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life."

Speaking with the press at last month's Television Critics Association's summer press tour, "Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino hinted at Rory's upcoming struggle.

"It's this idea of, you hit [your 30s], you did everything right — you went to college, you had the good grades, you worked really hard — and yet somehow life isn't turning out the way you wanted it to turn out," she said.

According to Sherman-Palladino, this is exactly what a lot of well-educated young people are currently going through — and it seems the studious, Yale-educated Rory will not be immune to it.

At the end of "Gilmore Girls," Rory had graduated from Yale and was hired as a reporter covering then-presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign for an online magazine.

Apart from Sherman-Palladino's revelation about Rory's crisis, no other details about the character's storyline in "A Year in the Life" have been revealed.

Meanwhile, "Gilmore Girls" actor Milo Ventimiglia, who played Rory's ex-boyfriend Jess Mariano in the series, recently spoke to In Style about his character's transformation in the beloved comedy/drama.

"Jess got to play around and experience a whole lot," the actor said, adding that his character worked through a lot of issues before eventually turning out to be a pretty decent guy.

Ventimiglia also said that this is exactly what his favorite thing is about the character.

"For me, I think it's the depth of who he truly was as a young man," he explained. "And as he kind of stripped away all this anger in his life from the hard times he was put through ... he turned out to be a very, very great young man."

"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" premieres Friday, Nov. 25, at 12:01 a.m. PT on Netflix.
