Milo Ventimiglia has some really bad news for Gilmore Girls fans

Milo, you’re breaking our hearts.

Ever since its 2016 revival, fans across the world have been holding out hope for another series of Gilmore Girls: Year In the Life. 

Especially after the cliffhanger in the finale, which saw Rory tell her mum she’s pregnant – but didn’t reveal the name of the father.

But Milo Ventimiglia, who returned as Jess Marino on the Netflix series, has a bit of bad news for them.

He told INSIDER:

“You know, I think that [creator] Amy Sherman-Palladino and [writer/director] Dan Palladino are probably pretty focused on their award-winning show ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ so I don’t know that there will be more ‘Gilmore.’

“That’s a mystery.

“I think everyone is pretty scattered on their current jobs.”

But hope of a return to Stars Hallow isn’t lost just yet.

Last year, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos said that there had been“very preliminary” talks with Gilmore Girls creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino to create more new episodes.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, he said:

“We hope there are more installments. We obviously loved the success of the show, fans loved how well it was done, it delivered what they hoped.”

And just a few months later, Sherman-Palladino sounded optimistic about the idea of more episodes – she just wasn’t sure when they could happen.

She told Radio Times:

“We carved out a little niche for ourselves with Amazon saying that if we ever want to do it, if the girls and us get together and we have a concept that works, then we have the freedom to do it.

“So it would just have to be the right circumstances, and that we’re all sort of in the same drunken mood together to go repaint Stars Hollow again. Because we had to repaint Stars Hollow, and we’ll have to repaint it again. But it’s definitely possible.”
