‘Gilmore Girls’ Heads To Hallmark Channel
Cult classic Gilmore Girls is coming to the Hallmark Channel.
Beginning August 25, beginning with the pilot, the series will air all seven seasons in sequential order. It will air on weekdays from 2-6 pm and on weekends from 8-10 am, in addition to special occasion marathons, according to the release.
Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, Gilmore Girls starred Lauren Graham as Loralei Gilmore, a single mom, and Alexis Bledel as her academically-minded teenage daughter Loralei “Rory” Gilmore. It premiered October 5, 2000 and became a flagship series for The WB network. The seventh and final season aired on The CW, ending on May 15, 2007.
The show follows the duo, both navigating coming-of-age in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, while mom operates the Dragonfly Inn and daughter gets into private school with dreams of attending an Ivy League university. The series also features now-household names including Melissa McCarthy, Jared Padalecki and Milo Ventimiglia among many others.
The series experienced a huge resurgence when it landed on Netflix in 2014. Its success on the streamer led to the 2016 Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
Amy Sherman-Palladino, Daniel Palladino, Gavin Polone and David S. Rosenthal served as executive producers on the series.
“The success of the Gilmore Girls universe is a testament to the power of storytelling that is centered around love, family, and close-knit community,” said Hallmark Media’s VP of Programming & Acquisitions, Ayn Prince. “Hallmark shares the same passion for feel good, whimsical content and characters, making this show and its ever-growing fandom the perfect addition to our Hallmark Channel viewing experience.”
