It’s the comeback TV event that Stars Hollow obsessives have been waiting for all year.

When Netflix announced last winter that it was commissioning four new movie-length instalments of Gilmore Girls – with the original creator-writer and almost the entire cast – fans went absolutely baloobas with excitement

Last week Netflix officially announced the release date and a whole new wave of excitement unfolded.

And now, it seems they’ve offered a massive spoiler on Instagram.

A picture posted this week shows the set with a plate of pop-tarts and an apple.

To the innocent, uninformed eye it of course, means nothing – but committed Gilmore Girls connoisseurs will know that apples are the food Lorelai claims to crave when she is pregnant. In season 5, Lorelai reveals:

“I don’t eat much fruit. I know I should, but I don’t have a hankering for it. Had it when I was pregnant with my first kid, though. Kept craving those apples.”

The Pop-tart appetizers also make an appearance in season one when Rory has a couple of classmates from Chilton over before a Bangles concert. As she’s handing over the plate, Lorelai says, “Pop-Tart appetizers to tide you over until the pizza comes” which some fans are speculating is just a touch of humour from the show.

Either way one thought persists with eagerly awaiting fans.

Preach.
