Gilmore Girls CANCELLED

May 3, 2007 by Arieanna  

Here is a press statement from the CW:

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.

GILMORE GIRLS finale airs Tuesday May 15 on The CW at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

According to Ausiello’s sources, the WB could just not make a deal with Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham.

The last deal offered included large salary hikes and an offer to do a shortened season.

The show’s cast and crew — many of whom thought an eighth season was in the bag — are said to be in a state of shock. "Everyone was pretty blindsided by this and still processing it at the moment," reports a Gilmore insider. "Talks must have broken down very, very recently because it came as one hell of a surprise."

The good news? The May 15 finale was meant to serve as either a series or season finale. And having just read the script, I can assure you that it’s a satisfying conclusion to the series. As I previously teased, it brings Gilmore full circle.

As Lauren Graham reported in 2006, she would not let the show end with a wedding, so perhaps this is why the promise of another season was not appealing to her. This is her vision:

I care very much how the story ends,” Graham said told the AP. “… It would be my worst nightmare if we end the show with a wedding. To me, the premise of the show was, ‘What if your parent was your best friend?’

  8. Bobby says:

    the gilmore girls was a bad piece of writing, all eight years of it and just goes to show the lack of talent in todays entertainment industry. I’m glad the senseless double talking girls are gone.

  11. Taylor says:

    im sry this adds to my comment before but i just want to say i really hope this page can save gilmore girls

  12. Rebakah says:

    This is going to be worse than the Harry Potter Books addiction…I seriously will have withdrawals! I love Gilmore Girls…they have so much more to do and we want them to continue. The show should end with Rory having her own little girl…and deciding to raise her daughter to be whoever she wanted…just the way she was raised but with Loralie in the picture!

  13. Jenna says:

    I just can’t believe they couldn’t make it work for another season. I know the writers said they had the last words for the final show, I guess we’ll never hear or know what they were. It was a great show and one my daughter and I watched together and brought us a bit closer together. I just wish we knew it was over when it was over and not waiting and hoping to have a finale.

  14. FoilWrapped says:

    Got to be Rory pregnant. What else would ‘full circle’ mean? Anyway don’t be too sad. Just play the episodes back from the start. Worry about it in seven years when you run out again.

  15. Rebekah varda says:

    I think this show was so unique and loved all over the world so many people can relate to gg and there is 2 lack of this style of show these days it could have gone 10 seasons at least!love it and all the actors and writers etc.x

  16. kristen says:

    okay ive been watching gilmore girls for like 2 years now, ever since the show ended ive beend watching it on abc family, and i think its really sad that the show ended. honestly it should go back on. i know its been a long time, but there were so many fans, and i know im a little late here, but the show was so good. its 2009, its been 2 years, and the show would succeed so well if it came back on. the story wasnt even over, and it would be great if it could be (:<333

  17. patti says:

    all the loyal fans deserve better than the poor story lines of the last season and an endibg so lacking in integrity everyone involved with the production should be extremely ashamed. The two ingrates, Graham and Bledel need to suck it up and do the right thing by the supporters who made their careers. Restart the show from that evil ending go from there, properly addressing the relationship issues. Also, the world needs to enjoy some eye candy by having the Sexiest Man Alive Luke Danes grace our screens weekly again.

  18. Kate says:

    I cant believe its actually over! I will have to admit that im a bit slow on this update as i hvae not long started watching them i fink i started watching it last august i use to come in from work and my sister would be watching it and thought that it was a really stupid show but wen i was of work for a week been ill i ended up watching it all week and i have to admit that i LOVE this show i think that its amzing!!
    I am now truley hooked…..But im a bit confused the last one i watched before it turned to the old ones is where logan goes to there house and ask’s Loriale if he can have her permisson to marry Rory and they will be moving to sanfransico can some one tell me what happens please? And why did it end like that?!? After that espoide i missed two of them and then it went back to the old serious im guessing cuz thats what my sister told me and Rorys now just starte dating Jess which i have to say that he is sooo soooo HOT!
    Is there another serious after Logan asks if he can marry Rory and if so what serious would it be?!?

    Does any one think that they will make another seiours as no body seems to have liked how they ended it all and that it dont seem fair how they did it! I no it must be like 2 years now sinse they havnt made a new one but does any one think that they will make a come back or not?

    Plese let me know what your thinking of my views and help me know what serious i was on b4 it went back to the old one’s will be most grateful thanks!

  19. Michelle says:

    Wow, I can’t imagine tv without gilmore girls! Gilmore Girls doesn’t need to end in a wedding! It sucks to be left hanging where we were. To see how Logan and Rory are doing after that year, what will happen between Luke and Loralie. If there is a wedding it can be in the middle not necessarly in the end. I agree it is about the parent being their childs best friend, thats awesome! but i think it could definatly have a better ending for such an inspirring show. I hope it comes back!

  20. siobhan says:

    oh my god..i cant believe there is not going to be a season 8..the gilmore girls is my favourite show..i look foward to looking at it everyday..please reconsider and do more serious..please..i would be lost with out it…
