The chemistry is back with Gilmore Girls reboot, says Lauren Graham

The Gilmore Girls cast easily connected again for the forthcoming reboot, says star Lauren Graham. 'Everything was like, "Oh, here's the chemistry we had from the very first day we met," and it was just a joy to revisit,' she said Wednesday.

Melissa McCarthy answered the call for Netflix's Gilmore Girlssequel and made magic again with star Lauren Graham, the show's creator said.

McCarthy's career has soared with movies including Bridesmaidsand Ghostbusterssince she played Sookie in the 2000-2007 series, complicating efforts to fit taping into her busy schedule, Amy Sherman-Palladino said Wednesday at an event during theTelevision Critics Association's summer press tour.

But it was inevitable, she added.

"She's the same," Sherman-Palladino said.

McCarthy and Graham "have a weird Lucy-and-Ethel thing that you kind of have to just see it to understand it," Sherman-Palladino said, and played off each other within minutes of reuniting.

Graham said the entire cast, including AlexisBledel, Scott Patterson and Kelly Bishop, easily connected again.

"Everything was like, `Oh, here's the chemistry we had from the very first day we met,' and it was just a joy to revisit," she said.

The new series,Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,includes four 90-minute chapters that will debut globally on Nov. 25.

Sherman-Palladino, who shared writing and directing duties with husband DanPalladino, said she would have preferred the episodes to be released gradually. She suggested those inclined to spoil the ending for others get "some therapy" beforehand.
