ATX Television Festival Announces A 'Gilmore Girls' Reunion And 'Dawson's Creek' Writers Room For This Year's Event

The ATX Television Festival is known for its amazing reunions and TV panels and this year's line up is no different. The festival announced that both Gilmore Girls and Dawson's Creek will be a part of the lineup this season.

"So, after years of peace and quiet, these lunatics have chosen to get the chattiest chicks in the world back under one roof? Really? Okay. You asked for it," Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman Palladino said in a statement via Entertainment Weekly.

"Gilmore was the highlight of my ridiculous life. I can't wait to sit with these unbelievable broads and relive a time where sleep did not exist, where stress and coffee were mama's little helpers, and where we all dove into the deep end together to make something weird and very very cool."

Lauren Graham (who played Lorelai Gilmore), Alexis Bledel (who played Rory Gilmore) and the series' creator will all be in attendance. Lauren, the Parenthood actress, had an amazing reaction to the news saying, "There'll be coffee, right? Can't wait!"

ATX Festival, which takes place in Austin, Texas, has previously featured About a Boy, Bates Motel, Everwood, Parenthood, Orange is the New Black, Hey Dude, Boy Meets World and Friday Night Lights.

Season four of the festival will also mark an ATX first, featuring a writer's room reunion from the hit show Dawson's Creek. The panel will include creator Kevin Williamson, showrunner Greg Berlanti, plus Julie Plec (who created The Vampire Diaries), Liz Tigelaar and more who were producers, writers and assistants on the series.

"Dawson's Creek and Kevin Williamson changed my life and gave me a career," Greg said via E! Online. "Nothing could be more exciting then to be back with so many people I respect and admire than my fellow writers from the show... and our amazing creator, Kevin."

The festival will run from June 4-7 2015 and will feature a screening of a Friday Night Lights episode, as usual, to honor the Texas football hit and make everyone say, "Texas Forever!"
