Gilmore Girls fans can visit Luke’s Diner ahead of the show’s reboot, as Netflix prepares to open pop-up locations across America and Canada.
Set to open tomorrow (October 5), 200 coffee shops will be taking part to celebrate the 16th anniversary of the Gilmore Girls premiere.
According to Buzzfeed, Netflix have confirmed that coffee shops all over America and Canada will be giving out free coffee from 7am to 12pm in special Gilmore-themed cups and sleeves.
The cult series, which originally ran from 2000 to 2007, was picked up by Netflix back in January for a revival run. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will consist of four 90-minute episodes, which will be available to watch on the streaming service on November 25.
Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said: “If we would not have [released them] all at once the fans would’ve killed us. I’m petrified of those fans; they are so passionate.”
Show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino previously said of her desire for the release to be staggered: “I told them I was going to hang myself with a shower curtain if they put them all out at once, and they said, ‘Wow, OK,'”.
“However, you don’t always get what you want. The good outweighs the bad in the sense that this is a wonderful place to create things and do things in a different way.”
