Gilmore Girls Revival Hopes Sparked by Luke Kirby and the Palladinos

Is Gilmore Girls Making a Comeback? Luke Kirby's New Role Has Fans Buzzing 🌀

Okay, before we get ahead of ourselves—no, Gilmore Girls isn’t officially coming back (yet). But Luke Kirby's latest gig with Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino on their new series Étoile has sparked some serious hope among Stars Hollow stans.

If you’re deep into the Sherman-Palladino universe (aka the masterminds behind Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), you already know they love to keep their faves close. And Luke Kirby? He’s one of them. When asked if Kirby could end up sipping coffee at Luke’s Diner someday, Daniel Palladino teased, “I think we could figure out a way to get Luke to step into anything.” Translation: the door’s not closed—and maybe, just maybe, it’s cracked open.

🚪 So, Could This Actually Mean a Revival?

Not directly. Kirby’s role in Étoile isn’t a secret passage back to Stars Hollow, but it’s a reminder that the OG team is still very much in sync—and still cooking up creative chaos together. That said, Kirby linking up again with the Palladinos keeps the vibes alive for potential crossovers or nostalgic returns.

And it’s not just fans holding onto hope. Lauren Graham (Lorelai herself) and Kelly Bishop (Queen Emily Gilmore) have both said they’d be down to revisit the Gilmore universe—if the story feels right. Graham’s even pitched ideas for a holiday special. Imagine a snowy Stars Hollow Christmas episode? Yeah, we need it.

Amy Sherman-Palladino has also stayed open to the idea. So while there’s no official word from Netflix, the cast and creators haven’t shut the door, either.

🎬 It’s Complicated—but Hope Is Alive

Luke Kirby joining Étoile shows that the Palladinos are still vibing with their favorite collaborators. That’s not a revival confirmation, but it’s definitely not a bad sign. The spark’s still there. And if the timing, cast availability, and story all line up? Stars Hollow could totally light up again.

So keep your oversized coffee mugs ready. For now, it’s a waiting game—but one that’s still full of possibility.
