The stars of ‘Gilmore Girls’ believe a spinoff wouldn’t work due to the difficulty in recasting original characters, instead suggesting prequels or alternative revivals.
The article discusses why a spinoff of the popular TV show “Gilmore Girls” wouldn’t work, according to its stars Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson. According to Lauren, one of the main reasons a spinoff wouldn’t work is because it would be difficult to recast characters from the original show. She mentioned that it would be hard to cast young versions of Babette and Miss Patty, for example.
Scott Patterson had a conversation with Peter Roth, the then-president of Warner Bros., about his own spinoff idea. Roth told him something “steeped in TV history wisdom”: people would miss the other characters so much because the show is chock full of rich and wonderful characters.
Lauren proposed an alternative way to revisit beloved shows: through prequel series. She suggested doing a high school version of Lorelai, which could be an interesting take on the original story.
In conclusion, the stars of “Gilmore Girls” believe that a spinoff wouldn’t work because the show has so many rich and wonderful characters. They suggest revisiting beloved shows through prequel series or exploring alternative ways to revive the show.
