Gilmore Girls Universe Expands: Lauren Graham & Amy Sherman-Palladino Announce New Book
Table of Contents
A new chapter is brewing for devotees of the beloved television series Gilmore Girls. Twenty-five years after its initial broadcast in the United States – and as Gilmore Girls continues to resonate with audiences in Italy – Lauren Graham, the actress who immortalized Lorelai Gilmore, has revealed she is collaborating with series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino on a forthcoming book.
The project, announced via a selfie posted by Graham, immediately ignited excitement among fans. The image, featuring Graham and Sherman-Palladino alongside stills of Lorelai and Rory reading, was captioned with a knowing “Make the coffee!” – a nod to the show’s iconic coffee consumption and literary leanings.
A New Book Arriving in Fall 2027
The new book, currently without an official title, is slated for release in the fall of 2027. According to a statement, the timing was deliberate, chosen to align with the show’s autumnal aesthetic and the cozy atmosphere central to the Gilmore Girls universe. Updates regarding the editorial process will be shared through the official channels of Celadon Books, a division of Macmillan Publishers, which will handle the U.S. publication. Details regarding an Italian edition remain forthcoming.
This isn’t Graham’s first foray into extending the Gilmore Girls legacy through writing. She previously published Talking Fast, an essay collection exploring the show’s rapid-fire dialogue, in Italy in 2016, and Have I Told You This Already? in 2022, a volume of autobiographical stories.
Keeping the Stars Hollow Spirit Alive
While the future of a potential Gilmore Girls sequel – perhaps a highly anticipated Christmas movie – remains uncertain, both the writers and actors are demonstrably committed to preserving the show’s enduring appeal. This year alone has seen a reunion of cast members to celebrate Graham’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the announcement of the original series soundtrack’s release, and the upcoming premiere of a documentary, Searching for Stars Hollow.
Fans can also immerse themselves in the world of Gilmore Girls with a visit to the recreated Stars Hollow set at Warner Bros. Studios in Hollywood.
The collaborative book project represents the latest effort to keep the magic of Gilmore Girls alive for a devoted fanbase, ensuring the quick-witted charm of Lorelai and Rory continues to captivate audiences for years to come.
