Alexis Biedel weighs in on ‘Gilmore Girls’ season 9 chances

At this particular point in time, we have to think that there is starting to be a little more enthusiasm and excitement around the idea of more “Gilmore Girls,” mostly because we feel like even casual fans have at this point made it through “A Year in the Life.” They’ve gotten a chance to experience much more of the world, and after learning the famous four words, we’ve got a feeling that this is only going to increase the enthusiasm for getting more of the show exponentially moving forward into the future.

Speaking (per Entertainment Weekly) while promoting her upcoming Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Alexis Biedel passed along the following comment regarding how, if there is ever a season 9 / another series of longer episodes, it would need to happen in a way that felt equally natural to what we had this time around:

“It came together so naturally, in a way … We had the fan reunion in Austin [at ATX], we picked up momentum from there and it came together so quickly. It really seemed like the right thing. I think most, all of us are just wanting to tell a good story. I think that came together in A Year in the Life. The only thing I can say about a future installment of the show would be that it would be about the story and certainly the timing. We want to tell a great story.” 

Moving forward now, we know that almost everyone has some other projects in the works — therefore, there is not necessarily any hurry for us to see any more episodes of the show. If it happens down the road, excellent. Consider this like “Sherlock,” a show that could very easily be over after the season.
