HBO Max has just announced that they are currently working on an official documentary for “Gilmore Girls” that will offer viewers never-before-seen footage and exclusive insights from the creators and team behind the beloved show.
The documentary, which remains untitled, will be narrated from the perspective of Amy Sherman-Palladino, the mastermind behind the series, and her husband, Daniel Palladino, who served as the executive producer. It will also feature interviews with key cast members, including Lauren Graham, who portrayed the quick-witted and coffee-loving Lorelai Gilmore throughout the show’s original run from 2000 to 2007 and its revival in 2016.
