An anticipated return of "Gilmore Girls" is finally almost here! Once again we’ll be able to see the iconic town of Star Hollow. On Friday, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will arrive on Netflix, finally satisfying all the questions the fans have had about the characters since the show ended in 2007. Keep on reading for the latest.

The Guardian suggests the character Kirk on the show is the better part of the show when compared to the others.  His ridiculous antics offered a continual sense of comic relief, even when the drama between the other characters was high. His dance from "Gilmore Girls" season 6 remains in every viewer’s mind, as well as his incredible short film from "Gilmore Girls" season 2. His character was very authentic and unabashed which fans want to see in every episode of the new chapters of "Gilmore Girls". And maybe he has a follow-up dance to his original.

Netflix is the ideal partner for many reasons. You’ll be able to see all seven seasons of the show in their entirety. It’s also ideal because its programming president counted the show among the company's most popular offerings. Buisness Insider reported that Patterson told them he got a phone call from Sherman-Palladino not long after the festival where they re-united. In an interview with TV Line, the show's creator said, Graham, Bledel, Bishop, Patterson and her, got some verbal agreements before pitching the show to three networks, including Netflix.

Finding the right set of people to play the beloved characters in the show defetily wouldn’t be a simple task. Accoridng to Vanity Fair, the pilot had to be cast in just four and a half weeks rather than the usual 6 to 10. Somehow, in that time, she and Mossberg managed to find and secure most of the series’ most important characters. As for the rest? Credit goes to Mara Casey and Jami Rudofsky, who cast the remainder of the series once it got picked up, as well as its upcoming Netflix revival.
