The last piece of the Gilmore Girls puzzle has been put into place.
Finally, after months of speculation, it’s been confirmed that Melissa McCarthy will be back for the Gilmore Girls reunion.
She joined Ellen on her show to break the fantastic news.
Initially, Melissa had turned down the chance to be a part of the show when it returns due to scheduling issues, but she has now revealed that it has all finally worked out and she will be back as Sookie St James.
While chatting on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which will be shown in the States today, Melissa said, “There has been something that I have been asked about so, so many times and it hasn’t worked out and there is… they’re making four new movies of the Gilmore Girls which is a show which was near and dear to my heart for four years.
“And we could not get those schedules to work. And there was a whole thing and then I was gonna be out of the country and blah, blah, blah. And literally about an hour and half ago we figured out that I am gonna go back and do it and I am so excited. And they are gonna be amazing.”
She continued, “Amy Sherman-Palladino is going to squeeze me in to do it and I’m very happy to go back to Stars Hollow. I’m just really excited about that. So it just happened and I got asked a lot about it and as of not even two hours ago it’s happening.”
It wouldn’t have been the same without her.
