But according to a [recent interview Lauren Graham gave Indiewire](https://www.indiewire.com/2017/06/lauren-graham-gilmore-girls-a-year-in-the-life-ending-interview-netflix-emmys-lorelei-rory-1201838471/3/), it’s feeling more and more like Lorelai — and maybe even acting — isn’t her focus right now. “Just as an experience, it was kind of perfect,” Graham said of working on the revival. “I always said, while we were doing it, that I couldn’t see more episodes in that form. Five years from now do you have _A Very Gilmore Christmas_? Maybe, but there’s no reason anymore except enjoyment. And, actually, I think there’s far more risk to continue — you run the risk of disappointing people.” Speaking more generally to her time as an actor, Graham said, “I kind of got what I wanted out of this, out of being an actor, and now I’m actually just as interested in helping somebody else have that, whether through directing or producing.” For now, Graham said that writing gives her a satisfaction that is “very new and refreshing. What’s satisfying to me has changed, so now I like to be part of the creative process, not just get a script and go do it.” Although she isn’t making any declarative statements about what’s next in her career, it should come as no surprise that Graham enjoys writing. She’s written two books — 2013’s _Someday, Someday, Maybe_ and 2016’s _Talking As Fast As I Can_ — and she’s currently adapting _The Royal We_ with her _Parenthood_ co-star Mae Whitman, for which Graham will write the script. Earlier this week, she [secured the rights](http://deadline.com/2017/06/jennifer-e-smith-windfall-movie-lauren-graham-1202108445/) to Jennifer E. Smith’s _Windfall_, which she intends to adapt into a screenplay as well.“I’m just devoted to storytelling, and I don’t care as much if I’m in it anymore,” Graham said. “I’d be just as happy to write it.” Head to [Indiewire](https://www.indiewire.com/2017/06/lauren-graham-gilmore-girls-a-year-in-the-life-ending-interview-netflix-emmys-lorelei-rory-1201838471/3/) for the full interview. _This_ [_article_](http://ew.com/tv/2017/06/07/lauren-graham-more-gilmore-girls/) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com/) Lauren Graham Says Continuing Gilmore Girls is a "Risk" ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4809609/lauren-graham-gilmore-girls-new-episodes-risk/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4809609/lauren-graham-gilmore-girls-new-episodes-risk/"},"headline":"Lauren Graham on More Gilmore Girls: ‘There’s Far More Risk to Continue’","datePublished":"2017-06-07T18:20:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:16.666Z","description":"The actress said more episodes aren't her focus right now, at the \"risk of disappointing people.\"","url":"https://time.com/4809609/lauren-graham-gilmore-girls-new-episodes-risk/","keywords":["Television","Newsfeed","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18c79ba688e376cc/6988b06897cdff8d8f6aec19/lauren-graham.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Highfill / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18c79ba688e376cc/6988b06897cdff8d8f6aec19/lauren-graham.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of Netflix's \"Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life\" - Arrivals","caption":"Premiere Of Netflix's \"Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4809609/lauren-graham-gilmore-girls-new-episodes-risk/","name":"Lauren Graham on More Gilmore Girls: ‘There’s Far More Risk to Continue’"}}]}] ```
