“We
never
thought
that
the
Netflix
movies
would
happen,”
Daniel
said
of
the
four-part
revival,
which
aired
nine
years
after
the
original
series’
finale.
“We’re
constantly
thinking
of
stuff
for
Stars
Hollow,
because
anything
kind
of
quirky
American
makes
us
want
to
put
it
into
Stars
Hollow.
But
there’s
no
set
thing
right
now.”
Nonetheless,
the
couple
has
maintained
a
strong
bond
with
the
cast
of
the
early
aughts
series
over
the
years.
And
this
is
apparent
both
on
and
off
the
screen,
as
The
Marvelous
Mrs.
Maisel’s
Luke
Kirby
stars
in
their
new
dance-world
dramedy
alongside
Gilmore
Girls’
Yanic
Truesdale,
Kelly
Bishop
and
Dakin
Matthews.
“We
tend
to
stay
very
close
to
the
to
our
to
our
casts,”
Daniel
explained.
“We
love
actors,
we
love
working
with
actors.
I
don’t
think
that’s
true
of
some
people
that
do
what
we
do,
but
we
love
actors.”
“It’s
why
we
became
directors,”
he
continued.
“Ultimately,
we
started
as
writers,
but
we
gravitated
into
directing—first
to
protect
our
material,
but
second,
because
we
wanted
to
work
directly
with
actors
and
not
just
stand
on
the
sidelines
while
someone
else
got
to
do
the
fun
stuff.”
