"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" will pick up several years after the season 7 finale of the original series, and as explained by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, as per a report from TVLine, Rory (Alexis Bledel) will be doubting her whole life's choices and her current career.
According to Sherman-Palladino, the issue Rory faces is that despite the fact that she did everything right, from finishing college with good grades to achieving her goals, she is still not headed in the direction she had originally envisioned for herself.
"And because the world is changing so quickly I think that's something a lot of very well educated thirty-something kids are going through. They're turning around going, 'I did it. I did the homework. I did the finals. I did the whole thing. I know the [expletive]. Why am I not getting where I need to go?'" she explained.
While Rory is going through a crisis regarding her life and her career, her mother Lorelai (Lauren Graham) will be facing her own struggles when the show premieres. Sherman-Palladino explains that Lorelai is a woman who spent most of her life with her shield up to protect herself and her daughter and now finds herself questioning where she is life.
Rory's grandmother, Emily (Kelly Bishop), will be exploring her new life as a widow. It is explained that she and her husband, played by the late Edward Herrmann, had lived a very specific kind of life and now she faces the reality that she'll have to keep moving forward without her husband and without the way things used to be.
According to Sherman-Palladino, the revival series will explore the "three women at a crossroads in each of their lives." She also confirmed that the series will end with four words that are very crucial to the series and advises fans to watch the series in the proper order instead of jumping immediately to the end to hear those final four words.
"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" premieres on Netflix on Nov. 25.
