Luke and Lorelai from ‘Gilmore Girls’ reunite in holiday commercial
Luke and Lorelai are back together this holiday season.
“Gilmore Girls” stars Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson appear as their “Gilmore Girls” characters in a new Walmart commercial.
The spot opens with Sean Gunn, reprising his role as Kirk, who does various odd jobs, carrying a Walmart box through a snow-covered town square while a man seated on a bench strums a guitar in an homage to the series. Kirk then walks into the diner where he delivers the package to Patterson’s Luke behind the counter.
Graham, as Lorelai, then enters and says hello to Kirk before making a beeline for Luke.
“Coffee, coffee, coffee, please,” she asks.
“Coming right up,” he replies as he takes the box out from under the counter. She then opens it up to find a Keurig coffeemaker.
“Luke, you shouldn’t have,” she says.
“I had to — you’re drinking me out of business,” he fires back in a deadpan voice.
The commercial then moves to show the pair outside in the town square, enjoying the snow coming down around them.
“Gilmore Girls” ran for seven seasons on The WB and then CW from 2000 until 2007. The show was rebooted on Netflix in 2016 with four episodes depicting one season of the year with “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,” which featured Luke and Loreali getting married.
While it’s been years since the 2016 reboot, Graham said in 2021 that she would be up for another revival of the show.
“I don’t ever say never. I still talk to Amy (Sherman-Palladino) and Kelly (Bishop) and Alexis (Bledel),” Graham told Collider at the time. “There is not a plan for it. Everyone is doing their own thing.”
“If that came up again, I love that character so much and I love Amy. I will work with her, any time.”
