It won't be long before we're back in Stars Hollow thanks to the brand new Gilmore Girls documentary Searching For Stars Hollow. The doc will offer some brand new details and behind the scenes tidbits — including interviews with a few key players. Keep reading to see exactly who we'll hear from.

“The interviews that we’ve already conducted with the cast have been a delight,” director Meghna Balakumar told THR in a statement. “We’ve shot more than 100 hours of footage and have already unearthed stories, commentary, critiques, and more. And we’re continuing to shoot more interviews in the coming months to present the most complete, full and truly new story of the show’s impact and legacy that is only possible at this historical moment.”

Searching For Stars Hollow will reveal how Gilmore Girls came to life, why it continues to resonate across generations, and how its unique blend of humor, heart and pop culture shaped a devoted worldwide fan community with an in-depth look at its creation and the connections it continues to foster," producer Jim Demonakos adds. "This documentary is for fans of the show but also for anyone with an interest in cultural history and how it affects individual lives.”
