Before Gilmore Girls, rapid fire banter did not exist. The mother-daughter team of Rory and Lorelai created a new trend and while on air did something remarkable to households worldwide. Gilmore Girls made mothers cool, and it allowed mother-daughter teams to bond every week over the antics of the silly and adorable Rory and Lorelai. Oh, how we miss the days of the Gilmore Girls, but wait, have you heard the buzz about a new show by Amy Sherman-Palladino?
Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) and Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) gave us seven great years of fast talking mother-daughter hijinks. Never had a show highlighted the beautiful and complex relationship between mother and daughter in the way Gilmore Girls did. At times the relationship was messy, leading the duo to fight, at times the unbreakable bond was extremely moving, but more often than anything else, we witnessed four generations of the Gilmores and the deep and intricate relationships that held them all together. Since going off the air in 2007, fans have been secretly praying for a Gilmore Girls reunion. Actually, I'm not sure the word "secretly" really applies in that last sentence! Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has heard your prayers and has inked a deal with HBO to create a new dramedy similar to Gilmore Girls.
Amy will write and produce the new drama that will follow the lives of a family living on the Upper East Side. Three sisters will be living together in the same apartment building as they vey for their mother's attention, which is woven tightly around their brother. The family has entrenched their life into the literature world and as the three daughters struggle to make a name, their lioness mother rules the NY literature world. Sherman-Palladino told THR.com, "It's a story of love, hate, family -- and finding the perfect opening line." This project is still in early development and casting details and airing details have yet to be determined, but we definitely can't wait to hear more! What about you?
