There are rewatchable comfort shows, and then there is Gilmore Girls. For countless fans, Amy Sherman-Palladino's beloved series has become less of an occasional binge and more of a permanent lifestyle, a show to return to again and again, no matter what else is on the streaming schedule. Which is why subscribers to Netflix, and especially longtime fans of Lorelai and Rory, have been stunned to learn the series is leaving the platform after more than a decade.
Gilmore Girls will leave the streamer on June 30. The post from Netflix, which you can read below, marks the first time the series has been unavailable on Netflix since 2014, when the platform acquired streaming rights to the WB and CW favorite.
