With two weeks to go before the network upfronts, we have some long-awaited and sad news regarding the fate of CW’s Gilmore Girls.
The CW has released a joint statement from the network and Warner Bros. Television that says “Announcing the final season of Gilmore Girls is truly a sad moment for everyone at The CW and Warner Bros. Television. This series helped define a network and created a fantastic, storybook world featuring some of television’s most memorable, lovable characters. We thank Amy Sherman-Palladino, Dan Palladino, Dave Rosenthal, the amazing cast led by Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as well as the producers, writers and crew for giving us this delightful gem for the past seven years. We would also like to thank the critics and Gilmore fans for their passionate support and promise to give this series the send off it deserves.”
Rumors have gone back and forth for months on whether an agreement could be reached with key cast members so that Gilmore Girls could return for another season. There was even a rumor earlier today that negotiations had stalled and it looked unlikely that they would resume. It appears that rumor was true.
Once sure that the series was not returning, CW likely wanted to announce the news immediately so that viewers would be more likely to tune in to watch the final two episodes.
Will the series finale on May 15th be a fulfilling way to close the series? Does this ensure that CW’s Veronica Mars will be renewed? Stay tuned! 
Hi, I’m 26 years old, I am a huge fan of Gilmore Girls,I live in the Dominican Republic, I watch the show since it started, and the reason why I like it so much is because it is a nice, smart, funny and no traditional story, with a contemporary flavor that promotes family values, like love and unity. Everybody wanted to see more of it. There were a lot of things to say before it abruptly ended. We needed to know more about Rory’s future as a professional, her friends, what was going to happen to her romantic life. We… Read more »
As a loyal fan of the Gilmore Girls over the past seven years, I am sad to see the quick ending of such a fine show. There are very few programs on TV that are as creative and well-written that my entire family can enjoy viewing together. We will miss our weekly visit to Stars Hollow and the story lines that introduced us to some memorable characters. The last two shows were about as abrupt and disappointing as one could ever imagine. The relationship between Rory and Logan did not end in a believable way with an unrealistic ultimatum, not… Read more »
I too loved the show and im sad to see its over but with rory done with yale the series would have needed a completely different plot in order to continue. she cant just go back to star hollows, she needs to get out into the real world.. it was 7 nice years, so i think its best to have a proper ending (although when you don’t want a show to end, you won’t like any ending anyway) than have the story turn into a “what the hell is this” as X files, Melrose Place and other shows i really… Read more »
It was my families favorite show and the only one on the CW we watched.I guess I can call the cable company and have that chanel removed from are service
when does the 7th season come out? I need It! I have them all… but the last one will complete my collection.
The last episode was completely AWFUL. I cant believe they would screw all of their loyal viewers over like that. Thanks… for nothing.
I agree the finale sucked as there wasn’t a resolution type ending. It almost seems as if they didnt want to resolve it as maybe they were leaving an opening in case things changed down the road. A great resolving ending would have decreased their options to work with the show at a later date.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH CW???????
ARE YOU PEOPLE MAD????
WHY WOULD YOU CANCEL THE BEST SHOW EVER???????!!!!
GILMORE GIRLS IS THE COOLEST AND MOST REALISTIC SHOW OUT THERE AND WHAT DO YOU DO????
YOU CANCELED IT!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????
I am very upset that Gilmore Girls is over. This show in my opinion is the last one left that isn’t to violent, or sexual to watch with my 7 year old daughter. My daughter and I have been watching the show together for a while now. Not only did we enjoy the show, but it gave us a chance to talk about the different situations that went on, laugh at charming, and witty jokes, and spend some quiet quality time together. We looked forward to our Tuesday night mother/daughter evening. We will still have our evening, however we wont… Read more »
I LOVEEEEED THIS SHOW (GILMORE GIRLS) you have no idea how this has brought millions of mothers and daughters together, bonding. Please bring it back. And as for the finale, I am with the rest of the folks on this blog it was disappointing, and what about when the fires occurred and the programming was interrupted we never did get to see it!
Come on people give back our quality show GILMORE GIRLS FOREVER.
I have been a fan of Gilmore Girls for a very long time. This past season it really seemed to go crazy with the story line-Lor going to Paris and marrying Christopher? It disgusted me, especially when you had built up Lor and Luke’s relationship the season before. Now I see the creative genius was missing and suddenly things make sense. Were the actors unhappy with their contracts/salaries? It always comes down to money. The CW will certainly lose viewers, which, in turn, will cost them in advertising revenue. What were they thinking? America needs more shows like this that… Read more »
I am truely sad about the finaly of the gillmore girls. It was one of the best family girly shows on the air. My daughter and I have watched this show for as long as it has been on and It’s funny but our relationship is a lot like them. I am truely upset that they have yet taken another great family show off the air for what? More reality TV. This is the worst news I have had in a while. Warnner brothers should be ashamed. You will miss a lot of good fans for your station. what about… Read more »
I’m very disappointed that Gilmore Girls is being cancelled. If the two main chacters do not wish to continue, then replace them. You have a whole town full of chacters in which to draw your story lines from. One of my favorite chacters on the show is Sukie. Have your writers work some other chacters into the Gilmore family or just go out and get someone else to replace the actors that wish to leave. Do something, use your imagination but don’ cancell the show.
What a shame about the Gilmore Girls. One of the few shows left I even want to watch, and now they ended it abruptly without the closure that faithful fans deserve. Forget CW/WB: they took away Felicity, Dawsons Creek, Everwood, 7th Heaven, now Gilmore Girls. Guess it just wasn’t trash TV enough for them!
This totally Sucks!! The ending was awful. It’s as if in the middle of the season they just said, okay let’s just wrap up a last minute ending and it was sloppy, it was just awful. I have watched Gilmore Girls since day 1. I am the same age as rory’s character and I grew up watching this show, I graduated with it, I went to college with it, and I was hoping eventually I would watch it with my own daughter (not that I have one yet), and it’s just so sad to see it end! The ending sucked!!… Read more »
