Gilmore Girls fans were ecstatic after the reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, released on Netflix in 2016. After 11 years of being off the air, it was thrilling to see Lorelai, Rory, and the rest of Stars Hollow again. But as always, fans wanted more Gilmore Girls. With a second reboot rumor floating around, fans have come together to share spinoffs they wouldn't mind seeing in the future.
Viewers saw Lorelai and Rory grow up on camera but it would be equally exciting to see a spinoff of Sookie and Jackson's life as parents and farmers. Likewise, wouldn't a throwback of Miss Patty's youth as an actress and dancer be thrilling? With so many zany characters, there's no shortage of spinoff ideas for Gilmore Gils.
Sookie & Jackson's Life A la Modern Family
Viewers saw the transformation between Sookie and Jackson throughout Gilmore Girls. From two food-loving people working together to getting married and becoming parents, these two had one of the most consistent relationships on the show.
They were so adored that fans wouldn't mind a spinoff of the couple as a "multi-camera sitcom." Imagining a series filmed in the same way Modern Family or Parks and Rec. were filmed would be hilarious for this lively couple.
Paris's Life As A Med. Student And Beyond
There’s nothing that fans want more than to see what Paris was like in med school. At the end of the original series, Paris had her choice of going to different, high-esteemed med and law schools.
In the reboot, it was shown that Paris went on to get both degrees and opened her own business to help parents create their own family when they couldn't do it naturally. Outside of work, Paris went on to Mary Doyle and have two kids together. Seeing the ups and downs of Paris getting her medical degree would have been a comical relief for fans.
Let's Watch Jess Transform
Would a spinoff of Jess's life after Rory work? Fans had questions after Jess left Stars Hollow to start a life in California near his dad. But with Jess just being a fraction of Rory's life, viewers never saw what he did between California and Philadelphia. In the original series, it was shown that Jess moved to Philadelphia and created a successful life for himself.
Seeing how much he changed from his days in high school, fans would love to see his transformation on screen. The reboot further proved Jess's amazing transformation as he was in a better place since his ruckus days as a teen. Seeing Jess grow into the man he was in the reboot would have been a solid spinoff.
Lane's Rock 'N' Roll Lifestyle
If there was one character that fans wanted a better life for, it was Lane Kim. Instead of Lanne leaving college behind and starting a rock ‘n’ roll life on tour, Lane ended up marrying young and found herself pregnant and stuck in Stars Hollow. Lane continued drumming in the band but her band never reached the success that she dreamt up.
A spinoff of Lane‘s life as a rock and roll mother of two would have been fascinating to see. Even a spinoff of Lane's early years would have fulfilled fans. Living her best life despite her mother's rules and her busy life at home would have been inspirational for viewers who felt similarly.
The Past & Present Of Miss Patty
Miss Patty appears to have lived 1000 lives in one lifetime. As the owner of Miss Patty's School of Ballet, she teaches the children of Stars Hollow everything she's learned in her long life as an entertainer.
But Miss Patty is much more than a local business owner, her life as an independent go-getter would have made a great spinoff. From her multiple marriages (and divorces) to her friendship with Babette and performing live, a spinoff of Miss Patty's past and present would have been entertaining, to say the least.
Emily's Day-To-Day
In the original series, Emily had to defend herself and her work to not only her husband but to her daughter on multiple occasions. Richard understood Emily‘s world but didn’t necessarily think it was important or as important (or serious) as his job.
However, Emily‘s unique skills in event planning, working at the DAR, and teaching kids about proper etiquette, could have made a great spinoff. Viewers are so used to seeing Emily and Richard as a team, but wouldn't it be interesting to see Emily as an individual?
The Ups & Downs Of The Huntzbergers
As soon as viewers realized who Logan and his family were, the floodgates opened for his character — as did the possibilities for his relationship with Rory. Logan‘s family had unlimited money and endless connections. There was never a doubt that Logan would be successful based on his family's last name.
With his dad owning multiple media companies under the Huntzberger name, a spinoff revolving around their complicated, wealthy family would be intriguing. The spinoff would be more of a serious drama than a drama-comedy like Gilmore Girls but it would still make great TV.
Emily & Richard Before They Were Emily & Richard
Fans know that Emily and Richard met each other while they were both attending separate universities, respectfully. When they met, Richard was engaged to be married to Pennilyn Lott, but after meeting Emily, he followed his heart, broke off his engagement, and married Emily.
After decades of marriage, Emily found out that Richards’s mother was never fond of her, but it didn’t change how her husband felt for her. Seeing a spinoff of their younger years would not only be comical, but it would shed a light on their life before Lorelai and their riches. Seeing them as young adults with no worries or responsibilities would have been enlightening for Richard and Emily fans.
Kirk & His Endless List Of Jobs
Kirk has held practically every job known to man in Stars Hollow. His work around town was only shown briefly in the series, which is why fans want to spinoff related to Kirk's work. Ideally, each episode in the spinoff would show Kirk at a different job.
One episode would show his life as a dog walker while the other episode would show Kirk as a postman, and so on. Seeing all of the hilarious moments that could occur while on duty would have made a great spinoff to the series. It also wouldn’t hurt seeing more of Kirk's home life.
Let's See Paris In Taylor's Shoes
Come to think of it, Paris and Taylor have a lot in common. They're brilliant, independent, and successful but they sure do know how to ruffle feathers. With fans adoring Paris's character so much, a spinoff of her in Taylor's shoes would be hilarious.
Instead of running Stars Hollow like Taylor, Paris would take control of another small town near her clinic and try to keep everyone in line based on her standards. The entire experience would be a learning curve for Paris, which would be part of the fun.
