It's the news Gilmore Girls fans have been waiting for - a new series seems to be on the way.

Star of the show, Lauren Graham, was cagey but tweeted that she "can't deny" it's going to happen.

A report on TV Line, external suggests Gilmore Girls, which originally ran for seven series, will have a limited number of episodes on Netflix.

Lauren Graham and Alex Bledel, who played mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, are in talks to return.

Kelly Bishop, who starred as Rory's grandmother Emily and Scott Patterson, who played Lorelai's love interest Luke Danes, are also expected back.

Melissa McCarthy, who has gone on to have roles in Bridesmaids and The Heat, starred as Lorelai's best friend Sookie.

Netflix have yet to make a comment about the plans.

Lauren Graham tweeted: "DUDES. I can't confirm this. But I also can't deny this... ", external

Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, left before the end of the original series over a contract dispute.

Speaking at the ATX TV Festival earlier this year, she told fans at the Gilmore Girls reunion panel that she had "no plans" to revive the series.

"Here's the good thing: Nobody here hates each other. It would have to be the right everything - the right format, the right timing," she said, external.

"It would have to be honoured in a certain way. If it ever came around, I think we would all jump in and do it.

"If it ever happened, I promise we'd do it correctly."

Fans know that Sherman-Palladino has already got her ideal ending in mind.

She's spoken before about the final four words she already planned to finish the series, but because of her early departure from the production, she never used them.

Maybe this time around, we'll finally get to hear what they are.
