Get ready to jump back into Stars Hollow. A bunch of actors have just confirmed that they will be joining Netflix’s four-part Gilmore Girls revival and fill the void of quick-talking witticisms that has been missing from our lives. Most of these actors are returning to reprise their roles from the beloved seven-season show, but it looks like there’s also a new girl in town.
Netflix’s Gilmore Girls comeback will consist of four separate 90-minute episodes, which will each represent a season of a calendar year. The announcement of this series was a godsend to any Gilmore Girls fans out there who were unhappy with the series’ finale or who just never wanted to leave Rory and Lorelai. We told you earlier that Matt Czuchry (Logan) would be returning for the revival season and that Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) devastatingly would not, but that cast list keeps on growing. Here’s who’s confirmed for the revival:
Actor: Sutton Foster (Confirmed by TVLine)
Character: Unknown new girl
What You Know Her From: Liza (Younger), Michelle (Bunheads)
Actor: Milo Ventimiglia (Confirmed by EW)
Character: Jess Mariano, a love interest of Rory
Number of Episodes: 37
Actor: Jared Padalecki (Confirmed by Variety)
Character: Dean Forester, Rory’s first boyfriend
Number of Episodes: 62
RELATED: Would You Rather: Dean or Jess From ‘Gilmore Girls’
Actor: David Sutcliffe (Confirmed by Variety)
Character: Chris Hayden, Rory’s father
Number of Episodes: 37
We’re stoked that the list of returning characters keeps on growing, but more than anything else, we’re interested in this new girl, played by Sutton Foster. What’s her story going to be? Will any of these returning men be her love interest? But, most importantly, will she be playing Michelle Simms, her character from Bunheads?!? The mind boggles at the ripples caused in the space-time continuum if the Gilmore/Bunheads universe somehow melded. Is Fanny Flowers an alter ego of Emily Gilmore? Are Milly Stone and Paris Gellar long lost siblings? AHHHHH WE CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT!
