Stars Hollow Stirs Again: Lauren Graham Confirms New Gilmore Girls Project
Lauren Graham is taking fans back to Stars Hollow, confirming a new Gilmore Girls behind-the-scenes book with creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. Announced live on TV and echoed on social media, the project offers an inside look at the beloved WB/CW series.
I did not have a new Gilmore Girls book on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are. Lauren Graham and Amy Sherman-Palladino are teaming up to write a behind-the-scenes book about the WB/CW staple, and yes, it is officially happening. The catch: you will need to be patient. Like, Stars Hollow town-meeting levels of patient.
What happened and when you can get it
Carson Daly broke the news on NBC's TODAY during the Wednesday show, and a few beats later Lauren Graham confirmed it on Instagram. The book is currently slated for fall 2027. That is a long runway, but Gilmore fans are professional waiters at this point.
'Because we love you, Amy and I are working on a new Gilmore Girls book. Get your coffee ready!'
The Instagram post
Graham posted a carousel: a selfie with co-creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, followed by Gilmore Girls stills that all feature books. The comments section did what it always does when the words 'Gilmore' and 'new' collide: nostalgia, caps, numerous coffee jokes, and general meltdown-level excitement about the two of them working together again.
Who is publishing it and what it promises
Celadon Books is putting it out, and their pitch is pretty clear: this is the story of how a fast-talking small-town dramedy turned into a cultural staple, told by the two people most responsible for making it feel like home. Expect a mix of their humor, personal reflections, and stories they say they have not shared before, with a focus on their creative partnership and how Lorelai and Stars Hollow came to life.
- Scope: a behind-the-scenes chronicle of Gilmore Girls, from creative spark to cultural impact
- Voices: co-written by Lauren Graham (Lorelai) and Amy Sherman-Palladino (series co-creator)
- Tone: witty, personal, and loaded with new anecdotes
- Angle: their collaboration and the DNA of Lorelai and Stars Hollow
- Publisher: Celadon Books
- Release window: fall 2027
Why this is a big deal
Graham writing about Gilmore is always catnip for fans, but pairing her with Sherman-Palladino suggests this goes deeper than set memories. It sounds like a proper origin story meets creative autopsy of how the show found its rhythm, its voice, and its coffee-fueled pace. Also, the announcement path is very old-school TV: reveal it live on TODAY, then lock it in on Instagram, then let the publisher spell out the vibe.
Bottom line: it is early, but if you have ever wanted the two primary architects of Gilmore Girls to walk you through how it all clicked together, this looks like the book. Mark your calendar for 2027 and maybe start stockpiling coffee now just for the bit.
