Then TV Line Reporter that Matt Czuchry will return as Logan.
Logan Huntzberger, you’re wanted back in Stars Hollow.
Gilmore Girls fave Matt Czuchry — who played Rory’s last major boyfriend in Seasons 5-7 — has closed a deal to return for Netflix’s four-part revival, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Earlier this week, Gilmore creator Amy Sherman-Palladino told me in Part 2 of our Q&A that, “Our plan is to get as many of [Rory’s] lovely men back as possible,” but noted that deals were still being finalized. “We’re still dealing with who’s going to be in it. We definitely want to see them. And we have storylines planned. I just need someone to tell me they’re going to show up.”
TV Line then confirmed Paris is back!
Liza Weil is formally set to reprise her role as scholarly spitfire Paris Geller in Netflix’s forthcoming Gilmore Girls revival, TVLine has confirmed.

Then Stars Hollow got a new resident. Sutton Foster. Foster, currently stars in TV Land’s “Younger”
Is the Gilmore Girls revival going to give us the final four words to Bunheads, too?!
TVLine has learned exclusively that Sutton Foster — who headlined Gilmore creator Amy Sherman-Palladino’s late, great, painfully short-lived ABC Family dramedy Bunheads — will have a role in the upcoming Netflix continuation.
What’s not known is if Foster will be playing her Bunheads character Michelle or a new role. Here’s hoping against hope (and any intellectual property hurdles) that it’s the former.
Foster, who is currently starring in TV Land’s Younger, is the first confirmed member of the revival’s cast that was not a part of the original series.
This one is exciting for me, because I loved Bunheads. I love Sutton. No matter her role in GG I’m happy to see her here too.
And finally, we’ve learned that Dean will be back. Entertainment Weekly broke the report that Jared Padalecki has signed onto Netflix’s Gilmore Girls revival.
Update: Christopher is back!
Entertainment Weekly has just released that Rory’s dad will be joining the revival of the series.
