‘Gilmore Girls’ cancelled
After seven seasons of witty banter, all will be soon be quiet in Stars Hollow.
Following weeks of speculation and a critically-uneven season, the CW and Warner Brothers Television have decided to cancel the long-running series “Gilmore Girls,” Variety.com reports.
The network released a statement thanking the producers and cast for their work and promising that the May 15th series finale will be a send off that the show deserves.
“Announcing the final season of ‘Gilmore Girls’ is truly a sad moment for everyone at The CW and Warner Bros. Television,” the statement read.
“This series helped to define a network and created a fantastic, storybook world featuring some of television’s most memorable, loveable characters.”
Debuting in the fall of 2000 on the now-defunct WB network, “Gilmore Girls” quickly became a critical favourite and flagship series for the fledgling channel.
Chronicling the adventures of single mother Lorelai and her daughter Rory, the series went through a number of creative ups and downs over the last year, including the defection of the show’s creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, and the move to a brand new network.
