Sometimes, when franchises continue after a lengthy break, not all of the original cast members are willing to return, much to the heartbreak of fans. For example, Julie Andrews doesn't see herself reprising her iconic role of Queen Clarisse Renaldi in the forthcoming "Princess Diaries 3."
Regarding Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore, she's not opposed to returning to Stars Hollow in film format. In response to a Reddit AMA question asking the actress if she'd want to portray Lorelai in a film, she answered, "Yes, IF a movie version could be as good as we'd all want it to be, I'd love to play that character again."
Though a "Gilmore Girls" movie probably isn't happening anytime soon, fans were thrilled over her response. U/backtodecember said, "This made me so happy. Time to go watch Gilmore Girls all day!" U/Photogal26 added, "Yay! You just made millions of fans very happy. Thank you!"
If a "Gilmore Girls" movie or "Year in the Life" Season 2 was to happen, Graham's schedule will be wide open, even if she's in the midst of another project. She revealed to SiriusXM's Jessica Shaw that creator Amy Sherman-Palladino convinced her to include a special clause in her contracts, allowing her to be available should fresh "Gilmore Girls" content need to be filmed.
"I put that window into all my new jobs just in case," said Graham. "And it's not — I don't want to start any new rumors — it's not for any concrete reason except that I have a loyalty and an openness to working with her [Sherman-Palladino], first of all. And because we could never have predicted that [a revival] in the past. So that door is open."
