Netflix's 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' Release Date: Lorelai & Rory Return This Fall

It's been 16 years since the first time the world saw the witty mother-and-daughter duo of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore hit the screens, and nearly a full decade since the two bid farewell to television -- but their return is imminent! Netflix has just announced the release date for the revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, so prepare to return to Stars Hollow this fall!

Netflix finally announced the release date of the Gilmore Girls revival last Wednesday: it's official, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel will return to the small screen together on Nov. 25, AKA Black Friday.

Gladly, all four movies will be released at the same time, even though creator Amy Sherman-Palladino wanted them streaming one or two at a time.

The announcement was made during the show's panel during the Television Critics Association summer press tour, and it came with a surprise: a teaser featuring Lorelai and Rory sitting in their Stars Hollow kitchen table talking about pop culture events.

They go into a full quirky discussion when Lorelai begins to wonder whether comedy superstar Amy Schumer would be her friend (to which Rory replies no because of "water sports") and she later wonders whether John Oliver would find her hot.

By the way, Lorelai, both questions have been answered: Schumer tweeted that she'd "love" Lorelai, and Oliver recently told Stephen Colbert that of course he would, because he's "a red-blooded male with an in-built heat detector, and my heat director registers [Lorelai] as on fuego."

The Gilmore Girls panel, one of the most widely expected ones during the press tour, featured Graham, Bledel, Scott Patterson (Luke), creator Sherman-Palladino and her husband and writer for the show Daniel Palladino. According to NPR, there were a few very mild revelations regarding what happens in the upcoming revival, like how the death of Gilmore patriarch Richard (played by late actor Edward Herrmann) would definitely get a part in the new series, giving it "a depth and emotional complexity" that made it seem "more grown-up."

Sherman-Palladino finally got her way, too: for years, she talked about knowing what the last four words of the show would be, and she missed that opportunity the first time around after she had to step out of the last season of Gilmore Girls.

Still, she advises fans not to fast-forward all four episodes to hear them, saying the people who wanted to do that had time to "[get] some therapy first and [get] rid of that inclination," TVLine reports.
