“Drink Coffee, Talk Fast” started as a Kickstarter project last year and reached its goal within a couple of days. The “Gilmore Girls” fandom was psyched about a documentary about the show, which is as popular as ever 26 years after its debut. Hallmark currently airs “Gilmore Girls” daily, and it streams on Hulu, only adding to the show’s popularity.
An authorized “Gilmore Girls” documentary from Lauren Graham (Lorelai) and the show’s creators, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, is in the works at HBO Max. However, an official release date has yet to be revealed.
What Can ‘Gilmore Girls’ Fans Expect from ‘Drink Coffee, Talk Fast’?
The documentary will focus on all things “Gilmore Girls, including behind-the-scenes moments, the many pages of dialogue, and fast-paced talking. “Drink Coffee, Talk Fast” will also have some bombshells, like Padalecki admitting he had a crush on Graham during his time on the show.
Agena opens up about wanting justice for her character, Lane, as some fans and “Gilmore Girls” fanatics in the documentary admit they’re not thrilled with Lane ending up with Zack (Todd Lowe). Lane’s getting married and pregnant was a major shift for the rock-and-roll character.
Along with behind-the-scenes information, there is a lot of talk about how the show became a cultural phenomenon. “Gilmore Girls” has an annual event each year. Fans continue to want more “Gilmore Girls,” especially after the ending of the Netflix original series revival “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.”
One thing is for sure: fans won’t want to miss “Drink Coffee, Talk Fast” to learn even more about “Gilmore Girls.”
