Melissa McCarthy Joins Cast Of Netflix’s ‘Gilmore Girls’ Reboot – Suki Headed Back To Stars Hollow!

Is Melissa McCarthy starring in the Netflix reboot of ‘Gilmore Girls?’ Like many of you, we threw a wild party when we learned that Netflix was reviving ‘Gilmore Girls.’ Seriously, there is no place as wonderful as Stars Hollow, and no one we love more than Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. But, we were a bit upset when word hit the internet that Melissa McCarthy would not be appearing. What is Stars Hollow without Suki?

When word hit the internet that Netflix was bringing back ‘Gilmore Girls,’ Melissa took to Twitter and revealed that she had not been invited to appear on the reboot. Already, we were having Olsen Twins and ‘Full House’ flashbacks. It seems nearly impossible to bring back a TV show without at least one star not being on board.

But, ‘Gilmore Girls’ fans can now rejoice. Melissa announced this week that she had been added to the Netflix revival’s cast and Suki would be part of the project! McCarthy appeared on daytime talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres’ show this week and announced that as of just a few hours ago her team had worked out her schedule and she would be headed back to Stars Hollow.

Melissa explained to Ellen, “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 going to go back and do it, and I am so excited.”

So there you have it, all is well in the world. So far there is no news yet on an official ‘Gilmore Girls’ release date on Netflix – but we will keep you updated. Are you as excited as we are about this major casting news? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
