What is Gilmore Girls about?

Gilmore Girls follows Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, a mother-daughter duo who live in the small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.

Is Gilmore Girls coming to Hallmark?
Warner Bros. TV
Yes, Gilmore Girls is coming to Hallmark Channel, which totally fits the cozy vibe of Stars Hollow.
“The success of the Gilmore Girls universe is a testament to the power of storytelling that is centered around love, family, and close-knit community,” Ayn Prince, Hallmark Media’s VP of Programming & Acquisitions, says in a statement. “Hallmark shares the same passion for feel good, whimsical content and characters, making this show and its ever-growing fandom the perfect addition to our Hallmark Channel viewing experience.”
What is Rory Gilmore syndrome?
Warner Bros. TV
Gilmore Girls fans talk a lot about how Rory Gilmore started the show as an exceptional student and ended up dropping out of college and becoming a less-than-stellar journalist (two decisions that are totally out of character for the teenager we meet in season 1). One Reddit user equates this arc to "gifted kid burnout syndrome," which is where someone was an excellent student as a kid only to feel totally burnt out later on in life.
"She was obviously burned out and meeting Logan’s family was the final nail in the coffin," the Reddit user says of Rory's decision to leave Yale. "I personally hated how everyone around Rory reacted to her wanting time off as if it wasn’t normal to take gap years bc you suddenly weren’t sure of your career path."
Can you actually visit Stars Hollow?
Warner Bros. TV
Sorry TV fan, Stars Hollow isn't a real place — but it was inspired by the super cute Washington, Connecticut, which inspired Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino! You can also go to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour to see where the show filmed in Hollywood.
