Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of "Gilmore Girls," told a festival audience networks don't give modern shows the same amount of creative freedom._ by [Christopher Rosen / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Christopher Rosen / Entertainment Weekly Jun 7, 2015 1:43 PM UTC by [Christopher Rosen / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Christopher Rosen / Entertainment Weekly Jun 7, 2015 1:43 PM UTC [Saturday night’s _Gilmore Girls_ reunion at the ATX Festival in Austin, Texas](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/06/gilmore-girls-reunion-panel-live-blog), had everything fans of the beloved series could want… except confirmation that a long-discussed movie project is being developed. “There’s nothing in the works at the moment,” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino said during the Entertainment Weekly-sponsored event. Which isn’t to say something won’t happen in the future. “Here’s the good thing: Nobody here hates each other. It would have to be the right everything – the right format, the right timing… it would have to be honored in a certain way,” Sherman-Palladino said. “And if it ever came around, we would all jump in and do it. And if it ever happened, I promise you I’d do it correctly.” Rumors that there could be a _Gilmore Girls_ movie hit a fever pitch back in May when co-star Scott Patterson [told the _Gilmore Girls_podcast](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/25/scott-patterson-gilmore-girls-movie) that there were “talks” of a film project. “I can’t really go into any details, but there is some activity. I’m hopeful, and I’m in,” [Patterson said](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gilmore-guys/id923957904). “I think it would be a big event, and I think it would be a great fan celebration.” On Saturday night, Patterson was slightly apologetic about his enthusiasm (“It springs more from hopefulness”), but said he felt everyone – fans and cast alike – was due for a _Gilmore Girls_ movie. “It’s kinda time, don’t you think?” For a full breakdown of the panel, [check out EW’s coverage here](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/06/gilmore-girls-reunion-panel-live-blog). _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/07/gilmore-girls-movie-atx) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com) ## Transcript Fifteen years after the premiere of 'Gilmore Girls', show creator Amy Sherman- Palladino said she doesn't think the show would be greenlit today. During her panel at Austin's ATX Television Festival, Sherman- Palladino told the audience," Today you don't sell 'Gilmore Girls.'... Nobody would buy it. It wouldn't happen ." She went on to credit the WB Network, which is now The CW For seeking out original voices and unique series which let to series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dawson's Creek and yes, Gilmore Girls. Sherman Paladino argues today the major TV networks are too focused on maintaining their brand to give show runners the same level of creative freedom. One of those creative choices included casting Melissa Mccarthy for the role of Suki something Sherman- Paladino had to fight for, it was a tricky sell and it took awhile, she is different and different is sometimes not the easiest to embrace. You are a spy. I know. We all know how that casting call worked out The actresses latest big film, Spy, debuted this weekend to strong reviews and an estimated 32 million dollars at the box office. That casting choice might not have gone through in today's TV market, according to Sherman Paladino. But even if Gilmore Girls wouldn't make it to network TV 2015, it might not need to. Online streaming services hungry for original content have approved or rescued several bold TV shows. That didn't make it to the networks. Think Orange is the New Black or the revival of Arrested Development. And Gilmore Girls itself is enjoying a resurgence thanks to Netflix after all. Sherman- Palladino's remarks came ahead of a big Gilmore Girls reunion panel at the ATX Festival. The show first premiered on October 5, 2000. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3911806/gilmore-girls-reunion-television-movie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3911806/gilmore-girls-reunion-television-movie/"},"headline":"There Are No Plans for a Gilmore Girls Movie, Yet","datePublished":"2015-06-07T13:43:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T09:08:20.532Z","description":"But here's what creator Amy Sherman-Palladino had to say about its potential","url":"https://time.com/3911806/gilmore-girls-reunion-television-movie/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt78d19a3d879a1e47/69885346524fc0b333df2f93/amy-sherman-palladino.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christopher Rosen / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt78d19a3d879a1e47/69885346524fc0b333df2f93/amy-sherman-palladino.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Amy Sherman-Palladino","caption":"Amy Sherman-Palladino","creditText":"Frederick M.
