Dan Palladino and Amy Sherman-Palladino don’t seem opposed to the idea of filming more Gilmore Girls — or working with Lauren Graham again.
At the Amy-Sherman Palladino Universe PaleyFest event on Saturday, March 29, Sherman-Palladino, 59, explained that she and her husband, 65, were happy with how they finished the series with 2016’s Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on Netflix.
“A Year in the Life meant we got to actually end it the way we wanted to end it,” she shared with Us Weekly. “So I feel very happy.”
While Palladino, 65, seemed to agree with his wife, he also couldn’t help hinting that there could be more Gilmore Girls in the future.
“Maybe it’s not the end, who knows?” he teased.
Gilmore Girls, which ran from 2000 to 2007, followed the lives of single mother Lorelai (Graham) and her academically gifted daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel) as they live in the small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. (Sherman-Palladino and her husband weren’t part of season 7.)
While there aren’t any plans to renew Gilmore Girls quite yet, Sherman-Palladino hopes she gets the opportunity to work with Graham, 58, again in some capacity.
“She was working while we were doing Étoile, which is annoying,” Sherman-Palladino told Us, referring to her and Palladino’s new Prime Video series. “Again, I only want her working with me, but you never know. I definitely want to get back in Lauren’s face on a daily basis.”
Although they’d love to reconnect with Graham again, the couple did reunite with some of the actors they’ve previously worked with, including Yanic Truesdale and Kelly Bishop from Gilmore Girls and Luke Kirby and Gideon Glick from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Wherever they lead, these former costars will follow! Though it’s been nearly 15 years since Gilmore Girls finished its initial run, the WB stars have remained just as tight as their characters. Gilmore Girls originally ran for seven seasons on The WB (and later The CW) between 2000 and 2007. After the conclusion of its final season, the […]
“We just need the best of the best and we’ve been very lucky to work with the best, and they spoil us because we think everybody’s going to be like that and not everybody’s like that,” Sherman-Palladino told Us. “So we long to work with them again.”
Étoile, which also stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lou de Laâge, David Alvarez and Simon Callow, will follow the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies as they swap their most talented stars.
While the story is fictionalized, the producing partners later learned that something similar may have happened in real life.
“Someone told us there was an actual swap that we knew nothing about, and it might’ve made our job a lot easier if we had known about it at that time,” Sherman-Palladino explained. “Literally I would say, ‘Hey, kids, do your research! Save yourself some time.’ But we didn’t know! And it’s a great idea! So hopefully it worked.”
Étoile premieres on Prime Video Thursday, April 24.
