NEW YORK, NY (DECEMBER 3, 2025) – Celadon Books, a division of Macmillan Publishers, announced today the acquisition of a book by Lauren Graham and Amy Sherman-Palladino—marking the first time the creator and the star of the hit show Gilmore Girls have joined forces on the page. Publication is planned for Fall 2027.
The book, currently untitled, takes readers behind the curtain of Gilmore Girls, revealing how a small-town dramedy with mile-a-minute dialogue became a cultural touchstone. Through a blend of sharp wit, personal reflection, and never-before-shared stories, Lauren Graham and Amy Sherman-Palladino offer an intimate, behind-the-scenes portrait of their creative partnership and the spark that defined Lorelai Gilmore and the world of Stars Hollow. Along the way, they revisit unforgettable moments from the set—capturing the humor, heart, and alchemy that has made the series an enduring classic.
Of the acquisition, Futter says: “This is THE book Gilmore Girls fans have been waiting for…and that is saying a lot. Lauren and Amy are television legends and their stories, which have not been shared before, are what tv lore is made of.”
Of the acquisition, Graham says: “I’m thrilled to collaborate with Amy to bring readers all our stories of the special years we spent filming Gilmore Girls, the first and second time!”
Sherman-Palladino adds: “I will jump at any chance to collaborate with Lauren Graham. On anything. Be it a boozy broads lunch at Joe Allen’s, or writing an actual book, the answer will always be “yes”. I find myself wanting to be permanently linked to her side forever. Not sure it’s healthy, for either of us, but it’s just the reality of the situation.”
