This October marks the 25th anniversary of the premiere of "Gilmore Girls," and fans are in for a treat with a brand-new documentary titled "Searching for Stars Hollow". Ink On Paper Studios is producing the documentary, which promises to take viewers behind the scenes of the beloved series and explore its lasting impact on American cultural history.

"Searching for Stars Hollow" will feature interviews with several cast members, including Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore), Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester), Chad Michael Murray (Tristin Dugray), Keiko Agena (Lane Kim), Sally Struthers (Babette Dell), Liz Torres (Miss Patty), Emily Kuroda (Mrs. Kim), Rose Abdoo (Gypsy), Kathleen Wilhoite (Liz Danes), Matt Jones (Morgan), and Grant Lee Phillips (the town troubadour). The documentary will also include insights from director Jamie Babbit, writer and producer Stan Zimmerman, and casting directors Jami Rudofsky and Mara Casey. Kevin T. Porter, host of the "Gilmore Guys" podcast, is also slated to appear.

While there's no official word yet on whether Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore) and Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) will be participating, fans remain hopeful as filming continues.

Directors Meghna Balakumar and Kevin Konrad Hanna have already filmed over 100 hours of interviews. According to Balakumar, these interviews have "unearthed stories, commentary, critiques, and more". Producer Jim Demonakos added that the documentary will reveal how "Gilmore Girls" came to life, why it continues to resonate across generations, and how its unique blend of humor, heart, and pop culture shaped a devoted worldwide fan community. He also noted that the documentary is not only for fans of the show but also for anyone interested in cultural history and its impact on individual lives. Executive producer Adam F. Goldberg joins Demonakos in highlighting the show's enduring appeal and how the documentary will explore the reasons behind its dedicated fan base.

"Searching for Stars Hollow" aims to provide a transformative look at the history of the television show and its characters, filled with commentary, criticism, and pop culture scholarship, ultimately creating the definitive portrait of one of the most beloved television series of all time. The documentary will delve into the show's creation, its cultural impact, and the connections it continues to foster. It will also feature behind-the-scenes anecdotes from crew members, writers, and directors.

The original "Gilmore Girls" series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, ran for seven seasons. The show centers on the relationship between Lorelai Gilmore, a young single mother, and her daughter Rory, as they navigate life in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. The series was briefly revived in 2016 with a four-part mini-series, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life," which premiered on Netflix.

A Kickstarter campaign is expected to launch soon to help finish the film. In the meantime, fans can keep tabs on the film's progress and release.
