Amy Sherman-Palladino, the Jewish creator/writer of the smash hit “Gilmore Girls,” once called her series the “Jew-iest goyium show on television.”

“It’s this extremely white-bred goyim family, and all they did was talk and argue, like Jews,” she said during the show’s 15-year reunion panel discussion last year.

Now our favorite fast-talking (pseudo) Jews are back for round two, with a four part reboot hitting Netflix November 25th. That means so much more coffee, awkward family dinners and wishing we too could live in the picture perfect, cozy town that is Stars Hollow.

We broke down the biggest things we learned from the show’s latest trailer. Hardcore “Gilmore Girls” fans, prepare for all of the delightful feels.

They can still do the walk and talks like pros. This one packed in at least one topical Ben Affleck reference.

Luke and Lorelai fans can breathe a sigh of relief. They are very much together.

We will see the Gilmore clan mourn the loss of the family’s patriarch Richard (Edward Herrmann, the actor who played Richard, passed away in 2014).

Emily wears jeans now?!

Be still all of our hearts. Jess is back.

Rory, who is now unemployed, will pay a visit to her former high school Chilton (and more than likely start teaching there if production stills are accurate.

Other moments of note. Sookie is back in the kitchen and zany as ever (yay!) and Logan can be seen sitting on a couch, smug as ever (ugh).

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
