The long-awaited Gilmore Girls revival came out on Netflix almost two years ago, but from the minute that national binge-watched happened over Thanksgiving weekend, rumors have been flying about getting even more time with our favorite Connecticut brunettes.

In July, the latest official Netflix comment on more Gilmore Girls came from the Television Critics Association when Cindy Holland, VP of Original Content, said the streaming giant is still a big fan of Stars Hollow. That said, Holland admitted there are still no plans in the works for more episodes.

That might have something to do with Amy Sherman-Palladino’s other show, Amazon original series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which is a hot Emmy-nominated commodity with a second season coming soon. However, TVLine has noted that Sherman-Palladino has a sweet deal with Amazon that would allow her to still work with Netflix if she wanted. What a delicate dance it must be on Netflix’s part, trying to get Sherman-Palladino to work some of her magic over there instead of Amazon for a season! If human cloning becomes a thing this decade, Amy is the only one we’re allowed to duplicate.

The timeline of Gilmore Girls revival rumors is long, ranging from this Netflix tweet alluding to a big question fans had at the end of the 2016 revival, to Lauren Graham talking about how much she loves playing Lorelai. But in the end, no “hint” has led to anything definitive. Considering it took a decade for the first revival to come together, fans maybe shouldn’t hold their breath.

Meanwhile, fans of fast-talking brassy brunettes can console themselves with the upcoming second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a trailer for which is out now. The season will drop on Amazon later this year.
