Just in time for the holiday season, Gilmore Girls is now streaming on Hulu, giving both new audiences and longtime fans the perfect opportunity to dive into the heartwarming and sometimes complicated relationship between Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (played by Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel). Spanning across seven seasons, the show beautifully captures their close, often amusing, and sometimes chaotic mother-daughter bond.
Set in the idyllic town of Stars Hollow, the series showcases Lorelai and Rory’s lives as they navigate everything from quirky neighbors to the ups and downs of growing up. As Rory matures, her goals shift from wanting to attend Harvard to exploring new interests, particularly in boys, while Lorelai begins to notice her daughter mirroring her own rebellious spirit.
While much of the series revolves around love, family secrets, and an endless supply of coffee, it also explores the undeniable strength of the mother-daughter relationship at its core. Their connection is both unique and enduring, offering a mix of humor, personal challenges, and emotional growth.
Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, Gilmore Girls also stars Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena, Yanic Truesdale, Scott Patterson, Liza Weil, Milo Ventimiglia, Jared Padalecki, Sean Gunn, Matt Czuchry, Chris Eigeman, Kelly Bishop, Edward Herrmann, and Liz Torres.
In addition to the complete 153-episode series, Hulu has curated a special collection of holiday-themed episodes from the show. This collection brings together nine festive episodes across all seven seasons, perfect for binge-watching during the holidays.
Despite being produced by Warner Bros. Television, Gilmore Girls is available for streaming on both Netflix and Hulu, but not on Max, the Warner Bros. and Discovery-owned platform. For those looking for more, Netflix also offers the exclusive follow-up, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, a four-episode miniseries set nearly ten years after the original series, with each episode representing a different season of the year.
