Melissa McCarthy OFFICIALLY Joins the ‘Gilmore Girls’ Revival

The powers that be have finally heard and answered our anguished prayers. After months of speculation and plenty of back and forth in the media, TVLine can finally confirm that Melissa McCarthy is officially joining the highly anticipated Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix. The news comes just hours after McCarthy booked her return with series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. 

McCarthy is set to make the official announcement on tomorrow’s Ellen, but thanks to the gloriousness of the Internet, you can watch the clip now!

McCarthy will reportedly film her scenes in the coming days.

How excited are you that Sookie is making her way back to Stars Hollow?
