Ever since the November release of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on Netflix, we’ve been bugging about *that* cliffhanger because we need ~answers~ ASAP. The idea of releasing more new episodes continues to circulate, which still gives us some hope for closure.
Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino hasn’t ruled out the idea of releasing new episodes in the form of a second revival. And we haven’t gotten confirmation that there won't be another return to Stars Hollow. Until now…maybe?
Milo Ventimiglia, aka Jess Mariano, recently crushed our dreams of another revival in an exclusive interview with Variety. In the past, he entertained the idea of reuniting with Rory, but it appears he is now content with the series’ conclusion.
“If [creators] Dan Palladino or Amy Sherman-Palladino ever called me [for more episodes], of course [I’d do them]. They are the reason why I show up,” Milo said. OK this is good—there’s still hope, right?
He continued, “Amy created Jess, and I loved speaking her words but I do kind of feel like audiences shouldn’t get so greedy. They were given a last serving of pie—why don’t we just leave it at that?”
Nope. Nope. Nope.
He doesn’t beat around the bush when asked whether he has considered the identity of the father of Rory’s future child either. “No, nor have I spent any time wondering. Let me be real honest: When I worked on the show, that was my present but that’s 13 years in the rearview for me now so I don’t spend what little free time I have wondering about the baby of a past TV flame,” Milo said.
While we’re sad to hear this news from one of the core cast members, it doesn’t actually invalidate rumors about another revival. If you need us, we’ll be binge-watching Gilmore Girls all weekend while we ugly-cry into a freshly brewed cup of coffee—especially whenever Jess comes into frame.
