While “Gilmore Girls” passed me by during its initial run in the 2000s, there’s an entire generation of TV viewers for whom it was a very big deal. And it’s an equally big deal that Netflix has revived the show, with four 90-minute chapters arriving on the streaming service next month.

Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson will be reprising their roles, but that’s not all. Melissa McCarthy, Milo Ventimiglia, Jared Padalecki, Chris Eigeman, Sebastian Bach (yes, that Sebastian Bach) and many more will be appearing on the show, though you’ll have to watch to see how big or small their parts will be in the next round of episodes. For a complete breakdown of what to expect, Vox has a pretty terrific guide. Here’s the official synopsis:
“Gilmore Girls” makes its much-anticipated return with four memorable chapters from the lives of Lorelai, Emily, Rory and countless more Stars Hollow stalwarts. Picking up nine years after we last dropped in on the whimsical Connecticut town, “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” finds each of our leading ladies at a major crossroad: Lorelai’s relationship with Luke is at an unnerving standstill; Rory’s budding journalism career in New York has stalled before it’s even begun; and Emily’s world is turned upside down following the untimely passing of her beloved husband, Richard.
“Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” is told through four 90-minute chapters —each spanning one season: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall— and brings back to life everything from the quaint corner diner to the dreamy Dragonfly Inn to a fast-talking, quick-witted mother-daughter love story unlike any other.
“Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life” arrives on November 25th.
